Burston Prime + Reload Trick.

[Pinguefy]

I've been leveling my Burston Prime recently (Which is actually not bad), and came across strange inconsistency. I'm sure a number of players know that if you cancel your reload 3/4ths of the way to completion, you will be able to fire immediately, decreasing the downtime and increasing your DPS. This is normally done with the block button or even melee. I enjoyed this mechanic as it was optional action that rewarded players for extra awareness and activity. 

 

However, it seems that this does not work on the Burston Prime. If they removed the mechanic altogether, that'd be one thing, as it probably is a glitch. But for some reason, this lack of function only occurs on this weapon (of the ones I've used). 

 

It would be nice if they added this functionality onto the Burston Prime as well, although it seems improbably. However, I am curious as to why this weapon alone cannot preform the reload trick. Thanks for your time.

A lot of weapons that aren't called Soma can't be reload-glitched.

lol^^^ :)

 

but i honestly do not think its a glitch. Many games have it where once you get a certian way through the reload animation, you are considered reloaded, then there is a bit more time till you can shoot. If you can preform a sort of cancel and shoot sooner, good for you.

It's just different for different guns. Soma you can cancel at around 50%, Latron Prime you can cancel at around 75%. I doubt it's a feature, just laziness to fix it.

I use it on just about all of my weapons, I don't know what you're talking about.

 

I guess Soma is an exaggerated case of when you can use it?
