Casardis Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 When Vectis first came out, there was usually a big delay between each shot if the player continuously tapped the firing button to reload, which was bad for the single-shot weapon that Vectis is. Therefore, DE corrected that by removing the delay so it's as if you press the reload button after each shot, even if you're firing. However, I noticed for a while now that I still reload faster by pressing R after each shot, WAY faster than pressing the firing button. I don't think I noticed that when they first fixed it, so could it be that I wasn't paying attention back then and it still had a (shorter than before) delay, or has it actually reverted back to the old delay?

Boondorl Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 It simply has to do with the fire rate of the weapon. The delay is caused by the (oddly) slow fire rates DE slapped onto these weapons (despite them being "single shot" weapons). Tigris suffers the same problem at the moment.

I'd say the Vectis's reload time is decent enough for a single shot weapon (and a strong one at that). The Tigris's, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shut Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The Tigris's, not so much. +1. I was expecting the Tigris to have Force-A-Nature-resembling (TF2 two-shot scattergun) reload speeds, but 1.8 seconds at base is a really, really long time for a two-shot mag.

Casardis Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Um, neither me nor Boondorl were talking about reload time from what I see. We're talking about the delay between the shot and the reload animation, which is affected by firing rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shut Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Ah, whoops. XD I haven't logged on yet to test out the Vectis again, but if the delay between the shot and the reload animation is back, then I hope they fix it as soon as possible. Mashing R after every shot is incredibly annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casardis Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Exactly. This is what I currently have to do in order to have higher DPS with Shred on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toom1275 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 It's not good to be forced to spend a mod slot and points on a max shotgun spazz on my Tigris to counter this unnecessary reload lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
