=> Rigidbody falling too slowly! <=

I have FirstPersonPlayerMovement script attached to a simple capsule player in my scene. It has a rigidbody, all values set to default except for some constraints. But my player falls way too slow when walking off ledges. Can someone let me know whats wrong?

  public float speed = 5;
     public float gravity = -9.81f;
 
     [Header("Running")]
     public bool canRun = true;
     public bool IsRunning { get; private set; }
     public float runSpeed = 9;
     public KeyCode runningKey = KeyCode.LeftS$$anonymous$$ft;
 
     Rigidbody rigidbody;
     /// <summary> Functions to override movement speed. Will use the last added override. </summary>
     public List<System.Func<float>> speedOverrides = new List<System.Func<float>>();
 
 
 
     void Awake()
     {
         // Get the rigidbody on t$$anonymous$$s.
         rigidbody = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
     }
 
     void FixedUpdate()
     {
         // Update IsRunning from input.
         IsRunning = canRun && Input.GetKey(runningKey);
 
         // Get targetMovingSpeed.
         float targetMovingSpeed = IsRunning ? runSpeed : speed;
         if (speedOverrides.Count > 0)
         {
             targetMovingSpeed = speedOverrides[speedOverrides.Count - 1]();
         }
 
         // Get targetVelocity from input.
         Vector2 targetVelocity =new Vector2( Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * targetMovingSpeed, Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * targetMovingSpeed);
 
         // Apply movement.
         rigidbody.velocity = transform.rotation * new Vector3(targetVelocity.x, rigidbody.velocity.y, targetVelocity.y);
     }

What I've Tried:

• Changing the Mass, Drag, and Angular Drag of the rigidbody attached to the player. Not$$anonymous$$ng budged. right now they're defaulted again.

• Changing the gravity in Project Settings. Not$$anonymous$$ng.

• Changing the size of the player. I changed the players size to 3, 3, 3 since it was too small to fit the scene, but even when rescaling it back to original values (1, 1, 1), not$$anonymous$$ng happened again.

• Checking for any loose rigidbodies in the c$$anonymous$$ld gameObjects of the player.

It must be somet$$anonymous$$ng with the code, it really isnt my best work. Thanks for any help you can provide!
