aTaVaX Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) rng deciding when my headshots land and miss is annoying and the extremely limited fov when lookind down the sights is even worse... Edited May 23, 2013 by aTaVaX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXCrusnik Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Aim from the hip, zoom in, shoot, zoom out, rinse and repeat. Or maybe turn up the FoV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aTaVaX Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 i have the lex, lato vandal, and kraken and wouldn't call any of them accurate with hip fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoke39 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I just played a quick mission with my lex to make sure nothing's changed recently, and was able to consistently hip-fire headshot Grineer who were far enough away that their faces were only a few pixels wide.

aTaVaX Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Are you sure you're not just, you know, missing? yep, just did a mission, i was standing perfectly still, enemy was standing perfectly still, lined up headshot, first shot completely missed. didn't move crosshair at all, neither me nor the target moved at all, 2nd shot landed. Played solo so its not like i was laggy either. I just played a quick mission with my lex to make sure nothing's changed recently, and was able to consistently hip-fire headshot Grineer who were far enough away that their faces were only a few pixels wide. yeah, some times it does seem perfectly accuracte, like against the shield guys, sometimes there is just a fex pixels above the shield and i can hit that first try. But other times there are obvious headshots that don't register at all. Edited May 23, 2013 by aTaVaX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argoms Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Are you sure you're not headshotting corpus with AP weapons? :c Also, it's possible that you're actually missing if it's a small target. The current game's crosshairs are not perfectly accurate, especially when extremely close or far from your target.

Carcharias Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) I have Lex and Axbolto and even with the Boltos I still have no problem useing the aim. Granted with the Lex I almost always use the aim as its kind of a pistol sniper, point is (especially with the lex) I use aim all the time and get consistent head shots all the time with my pistols. Practice. Though it would be nice to be able to customize the crosshair. Edited May 23, 2013 by Carcharias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealTuna Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Not sure why you're having problems lining up shots with Lato Vandal of all pistols. Lato Vandal's hipfire is super easy to land stuff with...it's very accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAimbot Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Aklato is always accurate for me until really long ranges, and Akbolto until long ranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hekatonkheire Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Sidearms being accurate would be OP, Lato is too good as it is with hipfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current game's crosshairs are not perfectly accurate, especially when extremely close or far from your target. yeah, i'm sure. and yeah, i'm aware of the inaccuracies at very short range and try to avoid it. It might just be that the crosshair is inaccurate at all ranges some of the time... I know to avoid short range because of it and to avoid long range, but frequently at mid range it definitely doesn't go where i aim it. Its annoying, because i'm like methodical. I have played shooters competitively and when i miss a shot i naturally try to diagnose why i missed a shot to try to improve my performance and its annoying because it seems like its unavoidable at least without using sights to avoid that inaccuracy, to play with the precision i'm used to.

Argoms Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Same. I've just been using the lex and it seems fine firing without using right click to aim. Can you record a video of what's going wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emotitron Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) I'm not aware of hip and zoom firing having different accuracies at all. If you are missing, you most likely are just missing. Keep in mind that this is a third person shooter, not a FPS. Shooting things point blank gives it trouble as you actually end up shooting around what is under your crosshair. THAT they do need to fix. Edited May 24, 2013 by Emotitron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hekatonkheire Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 hope this is sarcasm because the lex is one great example of accurate sidearm Not Sarcasm, but I meant from a hipfire perspective. They shouldn't be able to compete with primary weapons. In my opinion, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aTaVaX Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) http://www.twitch.tv/atavax/c/2325457 right at the 6 or 7 sec mark, i line up the headshot, shoot it deals zero damage, could argue maybe it wasn't a headshot, but it was definitely on target. the guy doesnt move at all, i don't move at all, i shoot another shot without moving my crosshair and headshot.

The developers intend to make primary, secondary, and melee weapons equally viable. In other words, your opinion is invalid (in this case). EDIT: You might be flinching from taking damage.
