I saw that you fixed the not being able to reload when moving at high speeds. I’m not sure if this is the cause for what’s happening but when I reload my awp too fast now It won’t let me grab the gun and I immediately no scope. I would love some clarity as this hasn’t been happening to PC users but I’ve heard similar things from standalone players.

it may not just be the awp, i was playing with someone who had difficulty with the gripping with the rfb too :/

It would be great to get some small answer on this. Just know it’s not a nerf or something

Sad as hell

#

They should change it back though

#

You can’t let players get used to weapons for 3 almost four years then change the way to use it. Especially something like that

awp has definitely changed- there is a forced delay needing multiple grip presses after firing to rack and grip agin- feels awful

It's definitely not only the AWP. I've been having a lot of problems grabbing the RFB and some others with my supporting hand. No indication until I shoot and it climbs for the sky. I never had a problem until quite recently. About the same time as the feedback fixes came out.

Also I'm getting a lot of times when the pop sodas don't open properly. I've preferred them ever since I started playing because they were so easy to learn, but now maybe 1/8 fails to open, sometimes takes 3 or 4 attempts.

-It could also be related to me setting the grip button to control sprinting I suppose. I switched that about a month ago, and have been having problems with the other stuff for maybe a couple weeks.

# sly dune SPR needs to not be a sniper, it needs to be a DMR.

SPR as a DMR doesn't make any sense (IRL the AWPs and SPRs fire the same bullets). And the SPR already has a tradeoff: no controller stabilization. So if you aren't calm, or the controller is misreading, it will jitter like crazy.

That said, it should really have the same bright flare that the AWP has. If they added that, I'd choose the AWP or S85 over the SPR.

And the stabilization tradeoff is voided by upping two-handed dampening

a real Cx4 is semi-auto, so not fast at all. But yeah, it doesn't really make sense overall, what's in game should be called the Bx4. I think they boosted it because it's an easy gun for beginners, once you play long enough, it becomes mostly useless, at least in my opinion. It should shoot pistol ammo (9mm), but in-game the damage of pistol ammo goes up with rarity, while the SMG and AR do not. The IRL CX4 and the PX4 pistol are nearly the same on the inside, it's mostly just the form factor that changes. Upside is you can arm police with a rifle that they don't have to relearn, if they've trained on the PX4 pistol.

I wouldn't say the 2-handed dampening voids the tradeoff: crank up your stabilization and use two hands for both the AWP and SPR at the same long ranges, and you'll still see a massive difference. The scope glare would be a massive nerf for the SPR though (which still makes sense).

IRL the SPR was designed to be a Sniper rifle that didn't look like one, so snipers didn't instantly become a target. It comes in a bunch of different calibers, most overlapping with AWP, including 338 Lapua.

If they want to nerf snipers, having the bullets curve a proper parabola would be a great start. But then it unbalances a bunch of other things (like does the RFB and FAL now curve too...)

#

Anyway, I'm getting way far away from the initial topic, sorry.

Just played for the first time since changes. Definitely agree the AWP is off.. reload is awful. Half the time my left hand doesn’t register and it just no scopes 🤦‍♂️

Well, I can see it having some. I think they might have even upped it a while back (like 5 or 6 months ago). But a long and heavy rifle shouldn't be jittering like a tiny 126g controller anyway. If anything, it jitters too much, but I like it the way it is, requires more skill, and focus on a good trigger squeeze.

This update sucks so hard

#

I have to change my reload to make it work

#

The awp and fal are pain to reload. I never used to miss reloads on these but I consistently miss these now.

2.5 years of AWP practice for nothing

It’s impossible to use well

I'm wondering. Are there any pc users affected? Nothing changed for me this glitch wise (I read it affects almost every gun, grip wise) . Haven't lost a grip on any gun even once since the update. Is it only a standalone issue mainly?
I play on pc with the link cable via steam. I wonder if anyone with steam has this issue. Just curious.
Usually it's the pc users who suffer the most

Still no update on this, I’m finna crash out

#

12 days later and I’ve adapted and am now able to use my old reload. It would still be easier with this fixed

#

Any update on this? Literally 13 days after you say you look into it and nothing? I hate to be a dick but this messes so many people up, I have to wait like a full second in between shots or it’s impossible to grab the AWP. Like I get you have many reports but this is a huge game changing bug that should be one of your top priorities. @mellow cave

#

Just figured out spike is out of office. So I’m assuming this thing will be run by someone else. Don’t know who it is so @native grove @split summit @bitter stratus @shut igloo @deft cliff @limber hawk @quiet acorn

#

Hoping I can get an answer from someone

#

Because this issue makes sidequest near pointless

#

Bro I wouldn’t even be mad if they would just give us a small update

#

😭
