0.9.9.7 - Dual-Reload still broke?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Sradac:
I never calculated the times myself, but Im pretty sure I saw in several places people basically said dont waste time with "R" because it takes longer.

From kornel himself:

Also another post about how horrible Dualreload is and it gets people killed alot apparently:

A post from back in 2007 referring to Speed mods and Reloader mods?  Well that just doesn't apply anymore :)

The reason it gets people killed isn't because it takes longer, it's just because it's a long action that can't be interrupted if enemies show up.

Honestly, the reload mode to complain about is Full Reload.  That actually does take more time than manually reloading (if the wiki is accurate).

LuckyDee:
Even if the time were equal, there is of course safety in breaking up the action into smaller ones; leaves you room to respond if anything goes wrong..

Radagast:
@Sradac, this is pure speculation, it doesn't indicate any bug.

It's only natural to die almost instantly if you go and do reloads that take a total of 2-3seconds and you do it near enemies.
The same can happen with a minigun/gatling gun you know or any other weapon that has huge reload times. It's not really restricted to guns.

And a note for those who didn't notice:

If you go dual gunner build, you actually CAN just reload your current weapon. Just don't use the alternate Reload that reloads both weapons when near enemies. It's that simple.
This way you can reload just one weapon thus taking less time than a full double weapon reload which might "more likely" hurt in front of enemies and finish off the enemy with just one of the two guns.

Just because you think you are Nio from Matrix and shoot with both, doesn't mean it is of benefit to reload both together. Let alone in the face of enemies. :P

Indeed. Not to mention it just sounds cooler. Click-click Click-click Click-click.
