Proxy's shottie keeps jamming

(totu) #1

Maybe it’s only me, but it feels like sometimes in the heat of battle Proxy’s shotgun doesn’t fire every shot and I have to keep smashing mouse, anyone else had this?

Also wouldn’t it be awesome if you could just keep mouse 1 down and she would shoot as soon as she could with the shottie? Or would that be terrible idea? For some reason that was what I was expecting and I constantly in a duel situation just keep holding mouse 1 and forgetting that I am suppose to smash it.

After writing this I feel like these two problems might be related :stuck_out_tongue:

well, she uses a Pump-action-shotgun which means you need to c0ck the Shotty after each shot.

If you would just hold the button pressed and Proxy would fire as fast as she can, it would be a bit weird, since holding down the button is for automatic weapons.

Semi-auto and pump-action-weapons always fire 1x oer click.

I dare to say: In literally almost ANY game out there, which has automatic and semi-automatic/pump-action-weapons, you need to click 1x per shot.

I actually really like this system and TBH, I couldn’t really live without.
(Imagine: Holding down the button and my character pulls the trigger and pump automatically as fast as possible…)

In games it’s mostly like this:

  • Fully automatic shotguns/weapons:
    Have a high RoF, a whole magazine and medium-low damage.

  • Semi-automatic shotgun/weapons:
    Have higher damage, but a bit lower RoF and you have to press the button/pull the trigger 1x for 1 shot (but the weapon itself automatically loads the next bullet)

  • Pump-action-shotguns/Lever-action-Rifles(=Cowboy-rifles, if you want to say) also fire 1x per klick, but the player needs to load the new bullet/shell manually by c0cking the sled, etc.)

Tip from me: Play around with the weapon for 1-2 minutes. And you will find the best “intervals” to wait and pull the trigger. This way you get the maximum Rate of Fire.
When you spam the trigger, the weapon will jam.
But take your time, find out when to press, and it will fire much faster.
100% guaranteed :wink:

my fail, double post

You’re probably clicking too quickly, it’s semi-automatic.

Really? I thought it’s pump-action, tho.

I think it depends on the loadout.
The M1014-like shotgun is semi, and the stock shotgun is pump-action (I think)

Hehe sure, but to the player they both behave the same as it c0cks automatically for you.

I don’t know about the shot gun jamming, but Proxy’s arms seem to jam when I am sprinting and trying to place down a mine.
Here is my scenario:
*Holds out mine
*Motions mine as if it is being propelled forward
*Hears sound of mine hitting the floor
*Looks at cool down and sees 2 mines
*Tries to look back
*Dies in -1 to 3 seconds
*Face-palms

If this is an actual function put in the game deliberately to stop people with who use a strategy similar to mine… I will type a bunny with my nose and tongue .
