Can someone explain to me how strafing works?
I noticed lately that some people are able to strafe really fast while ADS other times I noticed that they move really slow.
Forum Discussion
SMGs and Pistols have faster strafr speeds.
Wraith also appears to have double strafe speed.
For me 80% of Wraiths seem to strafe faster than a Stimmed Octane. That it can actually look like 2 wraiths on screen.
Dunno if its an exploit or the character is just shamelessly overpowered and devs cba to fix.
@1ronKeysWraith has the best overall movement in the game that combined with her tiny hit box make strafing highly effective. Octane is a close second IMO when he uses the stim. The bigger legends do not strafe as effectively because they are 1. a bigger target and 2. they get stuck on buildings/map terrain much more frequently. I can't tell you how many times I have died as caustic because his big hit box gets caught up on a door or box or something.
Guns, the sights being used and whether or not they are aiming or hip firing can all play a part in it.
In CQC I am all over the place in terms of movement. I also toggle in and out of aim and hip fire. I have noticed it all combined together can be very overwhelming for enemies, especially if I'm landing my shots.
- @DarthValtrex I mainly use x1 and sometimes x2 sights. I don't know it just feels awkward for me to track them down sometimes other times I track really well. Idk if the slow mechanics in this game is helping me those times.
- @Daze623 Depends how frequently they spam the buttons too. Short strafes are faster, while long strafes are slower. Perhaps that's what you are referring to.
- @BaldWraithSimp What do you mean by short strafe and long strafe?
- @DarthValtrex No i understand all tbat but never do i see any legend strafe with equivalent of sprint speed teleporting side to side with no slowdown like wraiths do.
Character needs fixinf/nerfing whatever. Cause it is very bs- @1ronKeys I swear to god shooting at wraiths doesn't slow her for some reason. There's something about her that's just makes her so hard to deal with.
If PC people don't use A or D but just use W and mouse to whip left and right to dodge quickly then aiming in
Same with Xbox/PS4 they use left stick to push forward but use right stick to swing left and right.
But yea most of time using 1x scope allows for faster ADS and movement during aiming and getting used to that is easier on a monitor in your face is easier than a TV.
