Undocumented changes to firing weapons that came with the last update

(blissfulFire) #1

Hello all,

I have noticed some changes that came with the last update but I couldn’t find any note on it.

While firing a weapon and then switching to another, the player has to release the key for firing and hit it again in order to resume firing…

This is very annoying because it often leaves you running around once your primary weapon ran out of ammo and you switch to your secondary, but actually nothing is happening. I’ve stumbled into some players that already noticed this as well and I believe it needs to be changed back.

I personally notice it all the times on mercs that have a primary weapon SMG and a sidearm SMG… like proxy for instance. Toggling weapons used to be super smooth with her and I swapped between primary and secondary a lot… now it is just to awkward to handle.

why would you be holding mouse1 while switching weapon anyway? its not shooting during the switch.

Why wouldn’t you? If you run with a double SMG it’s super usefull to switch seamlessly between primary and secondary. It simply felt a lot better.

Oh btw. ofcourse you have the switch delay for toggling weapons, but it simply felt better to keep mouse1 pushed while hitscanning.

i only noticed that i can’t switch to knife sometimes as i used to before the patch
and it’s more a bug than an undocumented change :smiley:

Sounds like now it’s the way it’s supposed to be. Devs did good.

even if you release and then press, pressing before the switch animation is completely finished results in nothing happening whatsoever, caused me to die a few times, although it didn’t take long to adapt

Yup, I noticed this too. It took me only a couple minutes to adjust but it really wasn’t a needed change considering the style and pace of this game.
