Why Is Bullet Slow In The Game?

KeepinItCool

There's just no upside to it. Infuriating, decreasing the skill ceiling and just a horrible mechanic for every possible reason.

No bullet's are slow they are all hitscan? Do you mean that if you shoot and die at the same time your shot doesn't count?

slinki I suppose he means the slow bullets apply to you when you get hit.

Which is a mechanic to amplify the tactical aspect of the game. Engagements are supposed to be as meaningful as possible, making combat extremely deadly. If you get hit you're dead unless you play Jett.

I mean isn't that what tactical combat is about? Getting into a position where you can get the first shot. Never taking a fair engagement.

I'm referring to the decrease of movement speed from being hit by a bullet in game, yes. I have many examples of dying because of bullet slow when I would otherwise get to cover and likely win the engagement. For example, when multiple enemies swing a long angle I'm holding with an operator and I hit one and try to move to cover when I was only half exposed to begin with, I die before getting fully behind cover because of bullet slow. Not being able to get to cover, re-challenge and win gunfights decreases the skill ceiling.

It is indeed a feature, not a bug. Same in CSGO.

I Agree its frustrating that i cant adjust myself properly when i get hit, i just stop, there is no movement its feel as if somebody covered me in cement. I understand why its in the game but its way too Punishing, it shouldn't be able to stop u dead in mid air either.
