Weapon FOV
Since the in-game FOV setting doesn't adjust weapon FOV, you can end up with huge looking weapons. Try the following fixes to correct this:
- Default Viewmodel FOV is 50.
- Changing this cause weapon textures to load slowly.
- This is no perfect solution and can look bugged.[1]

- This worked. It seems the last object has tendency to spawn in same spawn point as any of the previous ones which causes this bug.
