Share a weapon nuance you've noticed

Hey everyone, I was just hoping we could get a good thread going of weapon nuances that you’ve noticed, but aren’t really stated in game anywhere. Like this one.

When firing “open hand,” its projectiles will fire and track on a path that attempts to go around cover and corners to hit their target.

Also the suppressor and it’s different variations projectiles path is chosen based on the direction you are walking, as well as the direction your targeted opponent is walking. IE if you’re walking right, and your opponent is moving in the same direction, the projectiles will leave the barrel of the weapon already angled right. If you’re moving left, and your opponent is moving to your right, the projectiles will leave the barrel angled left, and then loop to the right. (This can help catch someone moving around a corner)

Though probably well known, Scattershot rounds track after they ricochet, but only at certain angles.

You can see the COG(?) state without zooming.

Bolt shot rounds fly faster when scoped

Most guns can kill people.

Not sure if this counts but when you use smart scope with an assault rifle, you can see a little number 343 on the top of the screen thing on the gun. I first noticed this when I was messing around in forge

Echidna (Ultra Rare Hydra) and High Five (Ultra Rare M57 Rocket Launcher) both have variable scopes, letting you have two scope levels. Echidna can lock on without scope.

so its not a glitch. Haha, been using echidna in super fiesta and was confused by the lock on (i only use typhon on occasion during warzone, would much rather call out palsma casters than hydras)

The magnum’s bullet magnetism ‘hit’ radius is much wider while firing from the hip than it is while scoped. But only triggers within in red reticle range.

Some times little things that make a weapon different wherent there before an update.

Switching to your secondary is faster than reloading?

Channelling my inner Cap’n Price there. :smiley:

Switching to and from a Pistol sized weapon is faster than a larger one.

guns don’t kill people. people kill people. everyone knows that!

The PP tracks onto the center mass of your target, meaning if you can only see someone’s foot or tank treads from around a wall, don’t bother shooting, because it’ll “correct” it’s flight to hit center mass, and slam into the wall.

Every time someone leaves the game when I’m in a banshee, my game freezes for 10 seconds while everyone on the ground freezes anywhere from 1-5 seconds. That means I’m vulnerable to Rockets, SpLasers, Railguns, EMP, out of bounds, and worst of all, Hydras (because you can flip all you want, those rockets are still chasing you)

thats true enough.

to keep the post related: I’ve noticed that most higher ranking players that i’ve watched don’t use the Hydra the way i think it is intended. it seems like they try to use it like a plasma caster when i think it should be used more long-range
