Nah that’s him as soon as we start the mission after blasting him in the head 100 times.
It’s such a bad reflex. When I’m on multiplayer, I lose most of my streaks by dying mid-reload.
Ramblin’ Frank’s gun won’t let you down. ➰️
It’s to the point where I try to reload melee weapons after an attack.
I think the main thing that made me addicted to this bad habit is knowing that reloading an empty clip takes longer than reloading a clip with one bullet left in it
I really wish reloading with unspent rounds would cost you to lose those rounds or simply have a half full mag when you reload again.
If this was real life, you wouldn’t even reload at 5 bullets left. You’d be all, ‘Eh, I think I can make it work’
Imagine a multiplayer mode where you only get machine guns with 5 bullet mags.
It’s called tactical reloads. I’m just not sure what the tactic is.
Took this to a new level when I played The Lost Constellation in Night in the Woods and kept aggressively reloading my snowballs
I just wanna see if I can make the super fast bullet hose fire just one bullet
while other NPCs:
‘Don’t forget to reload Dr Freeman’
I played Breakpoint with realistic mags (if you reload woth ammo still in the mag you mose the ammo it doesnt magically teleport into the new mag) and i havent done this in a long time.
I’m guilty of this. But I’ve been killed so many times because I forgot to reload when I should have and then run out of ammo in the middle of a fire fight that I just hit reload without thinking about it now.
I blame Halo for this reflex, since taking down shielded enemies typically takes more than half of your weapon’s capacity.
The flip side is playing SWAT, where that reflex is terrible to have.
Play Hunt: showdown. That game consistently punishes you for reloading at a bad time.
IT’S THE LAW!
Playing a shooter where you actually just rotate several mags untrained that habit for me
Just one of those things. Like doing 2 manual saves before quitting a game. Do I need to? No. Am I going to? Yup because you never know (reasons)
I like to see reload animation, plus it helps reduce twitchy fingers due to unable to get the clear shot.
Premature reload syndrome
Always gotta be topped up.
Playing Arma helped me break that habit.
Wish shooting games would make it where if you reload a mag when you still have 15 bullets, you lose 15 bullets.
Remember, switching to your pistol is faster than reloading.
Reload Tourette’s is what we call it
Listen. My custom m13b is a beast. Doesn’t care about armor plates. Eats through them like they’re not even there. Not even a twitch in the gun when firing. You point, thats where it hits. Took a long time and a lot of tuning to get it there. However.. it only hold 20 rounds. So frequent reload is necessary.
Me reloading in mass effect
Maining Gaige in BL2 has (mostly) broken the habit for me. Prior to that, I was a serial premature reloader. Gaige thought me to drop reload on pc or inventory reload on console as to not lose stacks unless I needed to proc discord. Playing other multiplayer shooters after that, I find that I’m always reloading on empty or very close (eg. Not enough rounds to kill).
Currently playing Fallout 4. The lever action rifle has an animation of putting in five bullets even if you have only fired one.
It’s a magic gun.
I do this all the time having been in situations where I’m down to a shot or two too frequently when I really needed a full mag. Just becomes habit. It’s just better in some instances to be sure.
Me showing the NPC that my gun is a fucking musket and can only hold one shot.
I love it when games make you lose ammo by doing this.
*Don’t forget to reload Dr. Freeman!*
it’s not a bad habit. Always reload when you aren’t full and there’s no enemies in sight. That 1 extra shot could be the difference
I play Into the Radius in VR. You learn to count bullets very quickly and I do change mags after firing a few bullets quite often. Then when I am safe for a few moments, I reload the mags stored in the vest. The game can be quite fun when you are properly swarmed with enemies.
Also I never dual wield SPAS-12. Neeever, no sir.
(it is so much fun)
Insurgency fucks you for doing this since it has a magazine inventory rather than a bullet inventory. Say I carry 4 magazines, 30 rounds each. I fire 25 rounds out of one and reload. Then I empty the three other mags. When I go to reload again, I’ll load the mag with 5 rounds in it.
​
I’ve died countless times because of loading a mag with only one or two rounds in an intense firefight.
​
Sniper Elite does it a bit differently. If you have a certain difficulty option checked, reloading a weapon with a detachable mag wastes the ammo still in the mag. It has no effect on weapons with internal magazines like most of the rifles available.
It’s only a bad habit when it doesn’t work… I don’t play competitive FPS games anymore, but it was always beneficial to have a full magazine, and only a detriment when you didn’t expect another enemy nearby before starting to reload.
Games should start penalizing this habit by discarding the left over bullets in the magazines except for guns like revolvers
Its when u play with an SMG class with fast reload perk… permanent habit for me now too…
This is why Destiny 2 literally has a perk called “compulsive reloader” which grants a slightly faster reload if you reload while the mag is still more than half full
Using a Tediore Gun be like
I really learned to stop doing that and now I can’t help notice when others do it it’s infuriating
I might need that one bullet though.
That extra bullet get make a difference.
What I want to see these games do is make you have to plus-up your magazines at some point, otherwise you go to relead and you get partial mags. Get more ammo? Cool, gotta pause a few minutes and top all of your magazines off. Or, occasionally, you reload on the move and drop the magazine, and you’ve lost the extra ammo in said magazine unless you go back and pick the magazine up.
Not a bad habit. Reloading as you advance is a bad habit. Reloading while you are in cover and you’ve cleared the immediate area is explicitly a good habit. You don’t want to enter an unknown situation with half a clip.
Tarkov really fixes that reflex
