FEL-IX (and maybe other sniper) weapon switch delay after firing (with video)


(Herr_Hanz) #1

As you can see in the video, after shooting the FEL-IX and you try to switch weapons (by pressing 2) it starts the c*cking animation before the weapon switching starts. that is probaly also the problem why you need to press 2 two times to change weapons after firing your last bullet.

the video is made of 5 clips

the 2 chapel clips is me pressing 2 and releasing the ads button after shooting, and then pressing 2 while ads’ing. in the slomo you see a bit of the c*cking action of the sniper before the switching starts.

to make sure its a bug and doesnt happen because i scope out at the same time as i switch weapons i made the terminal clips.

3rd clip (first terminal clip) is me firing the FEL-IX without releasing the ADS button and pressing 2 after firing, as you can see there still is a delay.

4th and 5th clip are showing me when i press 2 after firing the last bullet of the magazine. as you can see it still doesnt switch immediatly, and you have to press 2 twice before weapon switching actually starts.

TL;DR: there is a delay when switching weapons after firing the FEL-IX while there is still ammo left in the magazine, if there is no ammo left after shooting the first keypress to switch weapons is ignored.

@FrostyVampire has also mentioned this problem, idk if she made a post about it here yet.

I get this aswell, and also a nasty side effect of a delay on firing after the animation has completed! I line up the shot and still unable to fire for a whole second after the animation has finished leaving me with a missed headshot and my pants down me trousers. Valve please fix.

same goes for the Moa. Most annoying bug for me atm.


(Herr_Hanz) #6

having to press my ‘switch to knife/secondary’ button twice before the weapon switching actually starts is still occuring.

Also, the re-chambering sound is sometimes missing when scoped in.
