Weapon bloom is ridiculous

After a few hours of gameplay, it’s clear that weapon bloom is currently over-tuned. I understand the intent. It’s meant to prevent guns from feeling like laser beams at all ranges and to encourage slower, more deliberate movement like crouching or going prone. But in its current state, it’s just too aggressive.

There are moments where I’m shooting at moving targets 30 meters away with an AR, clearly on target, and the bullets simply don’t connect. I get why bloom exists, but when half of your gunfights feel frustrating because your shots aren’t landing despite solid aim, it takes the fun out of the experience.

There are other ways to balance weapons without making them feel unreliable. I’m not a dev, so I won’t pretend to know how much it needed to be adjusted, but from a player’s perspective, it seems a 20 to 30 percent reduction in bloom across the board would likely go a long way toward improving the feel of gunplay.

At the end of the day, it’s a game. It should be fun. Right now, bloom is getting in the way of that.

    Not sure if this is related but what is anoying to me is when you're getting shot at, there’s this strange delay that’s hard to describe. So many times, you think you’ve made it to safety. Ducked behind a wall or rounded a corner only to suddenly drop dead a second later. It’s like the game registers the hits with a wierd delay.

  • the blooms horrible. all you have to do is bang a 4x scope on and go firing range and watch them leave the sight picture

  • I agree. It seems like the lighting has been adjusted, not just for the bloom issue, but for the entire game. I think the intensity has been increased throughout the game. This is because white burn occurs. Adding bloom to that, it's painful to the eyes. Also, the colors of objects are distorted, eliminating natural gradations. I think the beta's visual excellence was ruined by the overall brightening settings to make it easier to spot enemies.
