Full Auto weapons can not shoot 1 bullet at a time

Product: Battlefield 2042
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
Please specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox One X
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Conquest
Please select your region North America
On which server did this happen? any server
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) all the time
Summarize your bug Not sure if this is a bug or something that was coded into the game. In full auto mode you can't shoot one bullet with a very light trigger pull. You are forced into about a 3 shot burst. I believe I've been able to get a 2 shot burst on occasion when testing, but never one bullet. This is not how guns perform in real life I believe and it is definitely something not present in other shooters or other battlefields in that matter. It makes it very hard to control recoil when you don't know how many bullets will spew from your gun. It makes it very hard to engage targets at range and even worse when tracking them when moving.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Shoot any full auto gun with a very light trigger pull and fully release your trigger quickly after the light trigger pull. You will notice that more bullets leave the chamber of your gun even though you are no longer inputting anything to the trigger. Doing this will make you feel as if you are in burst mode rather than automatic
What happens when the bug occurs? You shoot more bullets than you believe you should be shooting and it wrecks you aim control
What should be happening instead? When in full auto mode. The trigger input should be fully responsive to what you are doing and not creating false inputs after the input is closed. It should not be continuing to fire after there is no input on the trigger.

    I understand this, but this is an issue with full auto. Switching into single fire mode doesn't fix the issue. Full auto should not perform this way in my opinion. As I mentioned before I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but it really doesn't sit well with me. 

  • You are 100% absolutely correct when you are in Full Auto and you attempt to Fire in single shot or burst it's like no matter how lightly you pulled the trigger you're always going to fire off more than one round mostly 2 on my end this is absolutely terrible and needs to be fixed as it makes your weapon feel like two totally different guns when you switch between firing modes as there's no consistency between mode it makes it hard to learn your weapon and it also affects Bloom as you fire off more rounds than you intend to when you're in full auto making it more likely you will miss the target at range making it harder and less enjoyable to track and shoot a Target at range I 100% agree this needs to be fixed and I 100% support this and am absolutely glad someone else noticed it as well

  • You guys do realize that input commands from a mouse is either on or off? There is no such thing as a light trigger pull in a video game? That is until we have the ability to feel in video games.
