@MandatoryIDtag following your target with the hip-fire reticle should count for recoil control no? Was there like a secret "improve your hip-fire with this easy tip!" Apex Video I missed or something?
@pastaclown Idk, I've just been using the prowler alot lately and found I generally had better hipfire damage per burst whilst mitigating the vertical recoil?
What...is this not a thing people do? O.o
@MandatoryIDtag I don't think so? You pull down while hipfiring with the Prowler?
I'm confused now. Like if you were supposed to compensate for recoil while hip-firing, which way would you pull for Flatline? Or R301? Or Alternator even? The hip-fire on those guns have minds of their own. Sometimes you'll spray a target 3 meters away and every shot'll hit, and other times the bullets will come out at an angle that's not feasibly possible unless the barrel of your gun broke entirely.
Havoc's the worst offender, I'm always shocked when I see people hip-fire with that thing in Youtube videos and kill someone. They'll spray 10 rounds at a target 3-5 meters away and hit 7 of 10 rounds. I'll hip-fire at a target 2 meters away and hit 4 of a 32 round mag.
@pastaclown Well a weapon still has reoil whether you ADS or not doesn't it, with the heavy horizontal ones I don't bother as like you said as you're aiming left or right as strafe anyway so it doesn't really work...plus it kinda balances itself anyway, depending how you strafe.
Anything with heavy verty and I still hold back slightly though.
It could just purely be a placebo effect on my part I suppose? Definitely feels like it works lol, used to to do it with the r99 too before it got packaged.
