0.9.9.7 - Dual-Reload still broke?

(1/3) > >>

Sradac:
Does anyone know if dual reload is still broke in the new version?  I know in previous ones with dualgunner, it actually took LESS time to reload, swap, reload your pistols than to use dual-reload.  Which I find to be completely silly. The time it takes should be equal.  If anything, it should be the other way around.

dual-reload:
1. drop both mags.
2. load both mags.

swap reload:
1. drop mag
2. load mag
3. move gun in left hand to right hand, and vice versa.
4. drop mag
5. load mag.

wtf?

Radagast:
This was a bug? Are you sure? I don't remember it in previous version.

For all I know, swapping is always 0 time with DG trait. So it doesn't count at all in calculations.
Also when you reload, you don't drop magazines. You just reload the remaining bullets which usually takes as a full reload depending on weapons.

Since we are probably talking about pistols, you reload both when at least one bullet is missing from each. This obviously takes same total time as reloading both separately. It's also obvious that most of the times you don't want to reload both guns near enemies. It'll take time so it's not advised. Therefore it's ofc a better option to just reload one of them, and kill off the enemy. Reloading both takes too much and might get you killed in such situations. Which is fair.

Also, reloading when one of the two guns is already full, will just reload the empty gun, with it's normal reload time afaik.

Personally I don't see anything wrong with any of the above, it's simple logic.

Unless I'm mistaken and there is indeed a bug I overlooked.

I think you're referring to Juggler. With DG, you simply don't swap, but fire simultaneously.

I'm also not sure where Sradac's statement is true, but I agree that the time should be equal (at least). Logically speaking, Juggler might even work to reduce dual reload speed.

Motorheadbanger:
With dualgunner you swap pistols (if they are both pistols) in no time.

Klear:
...which is useful if you want to single-reload each of them for safety reasons, or to be able to switch modes on GCB without too much hassle.
