Re: Hipfire, I dont get it

@Mad_Dog8762Gunplay in this game is really poor. Typically you need high level attachments to smooth it out but it is very random bullet spread that makes no sense. I come from BF series and gunplay is really good in BFV and most of the past games except for BF1 that has random bullet spread as well. I simply don't believe they made this game with known bullet spread you can get used to like was recommended.

I think recoil macro's are in heavy use as well.  Streamers mostly use them and in this day and age gamers think that is a skill for some odd reason.  Cheesing it up using macro's makes you a chump in my book.

    I don't think gun play is bad at all, actually quite enjoy it more than other BR's. The recoil patterns aren't the best but most of them have a set pattern besides a random bullet or two deviation. Hence why the pro's can hip fire with accuracy at almost any range besides super far. The worst recoil pattern is the flat line that thing is unpredictable as all hell. Go into training and just hold down trigger and watch the pattern and repeat that A LOT until you can hold it and control the spray better.

    It'll never be as good as say like CSGO or anything like that but you can get it down pretty tight after awhile. Plus as stated above with attachments you'll be able to do EVEN better since you've practiced a bunch with just the empty gun. This will be the only real way to practice without having to lose a match or get downed. Practice sliding,strafing, jumping all while shooting so you can have a better idea of where the bullets travel based off of those. Also try to stick to guns you mainly use as you'll swap to those by mid-late game so they'll be most valuable to learn first.

    Really poor? Lol I love the gunplay in this game.

  • @Mad_Dog8762  Sorry just to clarify, bullet spread from hip fire is obviously going to be random to an extent. It's a less accurate form of shooting, that being said lets use an r99 as an example, lots of vertical recoil when fired ADS, the same's gonna apply during hip fire...so you simply control your recoil in the same way you would ADS, you're never gonna laser the target but your bullet spread will be better. 😛

    Hope this helps lol
