How is it some players can just strafe soo much faster then others? Are they using turbo on controllers? Someone just zoomed left and right on me a wraith to be exact super fast. I would assume not a cheater as she has a lot season 1 wins through 4. But her strafe was crazy fast much faster then i can move left and right.

Nah i know what he means... some peoples strafe movements happen at like full sprint speed side-to-side at rapid speeds, sometimes it even almost appears like there are 2 of them.Without understanding of what's occurring, it certainly does lead you to believe there's some kind of foul play at work. They don't slowly drift side to side, they rapidly ping pong.

it's the character movement speed mixed with auto run. The other legends that have the same quick movement while strafing is: Besides wraithMirageCryptoOctane - when on stim thoughLifeLineGetting caught ADS while someone else is strafing is a losing battle. You either have to counter strafe, jump, crouch shoot and repeat or Slide jump crouch shoot rinse repeat etc.If you play the with the same character you will see that your out starfing your opponents. Unless they're doing something I mentioned with counter strafing.Then again If your playing this on Pc then yeah probably a cheat using speed hack or something.I don't know if the strike pack allows this on console or not.

@RevenanT-G7 No strafing is moving side to side, PERIOD. Firing does not need to be involved. Wikipedia states: "In video games, strafing is the technique of moving the player's character from side to side, rather than forward and backward. In the context of first-person shooters, it refers to the movement alone"Hip-firing has nothing to do with movement, and everything to do with ADS. Any shot when NOT ADS-ing, moving or not, is a hip fire. You're firing "from the hip" rather than using the gun's ironsights (built in) or optics (attachments)

@E9ine_AC We have the same hackers here since S1 unfortunately.Wraith having a small hitbox means she can avoid a lot more bullets than say Gibby purely on hitbox size as he would strafe left and right the exact same distance but still be hit with every shot that she wouldn't.

@apostolateofDOOM Well wraith recently hitbox was changed to be much bigger.

@E9ine_AC Different setups go into Firing range and practice your strafe by switching your buttons around or learn how to claw better.

It's not the legend, it's the weapon equipped. Go to the range.
All Pistols and SMGs allow for faster strafe moving while ADS than any other weapon. The only other Pistol/SMG-like strafe weapon, oddly, is the Mastiff.
Every other gun: LMGs, Snipers, ARs, etc. has the slower strafe movement.

I can out strafe a player with wraith and a spitfire [with legends mentioned]
I can out strafe a playing using a havoc and Fireing it with wraith mirage [legends mentioned]
Blood hound I have to do some funnny stuff like jump around, crouch up and down etc because If I'm fighting a wraith or any of the legends mentioned they can out manoeuver me by just going side to side. or jumping back and forthe[aka mirage.]
It's the legends movement speed and character model not the weapon.
Test this your self and use gibs or Caustic and try to out strafe a wraith or any legends I mentioned. your not going to out strafe them with a Re.45 and a white, blue or purple mag or even a smg. because the character speed is not as agile as a wraith, mirage, life line etc. You might can out strafe a Bloodhound, or pathfinder but not those legends.

@RevenanT-G7 The weapons do have different ADS speeds.

I havent noticed it.
my sensitivity is very low while ADSing and I still can out gun players with any weapon even if they fire first.
what Ive noticed is some guns have better lock on at distance then others but not ADS speeds for weapons.

@RevenanT-G7 Go firing range and use a wingman then a spitfire.
