    More and more people are hipfireing. Im not trolling.
    Both variations of the Tommy Gun will become useless if y ou want them to nerf hip firing more. I've killed more people while aming down the sights and they were hip firing.I don't play on console, and it would seem like hip firing would be more prevalent on PC, but it's not.

    With the auto-aim on console people can effectively 'lock on' to the target while running around them in a circle, as far as calling this a fix to hip firing I can only say I'm more than a little bit disappointed.

    And yeah, ****ing medkits are not working properly for what, 4 months now? They always have delay. And grenades are again invisible, most of the time.
    and what you expected better.....grenades are either invisible or the opposite most of the time in my game now they explode but are still sitting on the ground with red area marker visible so you ducking and rolling everywhere not sure which ones have gone off or have already gone off, lol.

    Hip firing never stopped, thus chicken dancing never stopped.

    Thompsn even has a talent that supports hipfire

    Med kits got nerf from every update and now they are pretty much useless. As i play survival mostly and these med kits are only useful for reviving yourself but even reviving wont give you enough health to get safety from the nuke bomb damage with 1000% of accuracy and no range limits for bots.

    Hipfiring is definitely still the way to go. They said they fixed some things like stat and seeker stagger but they didn't.

    Hipfire was tuned down a bit. This is not a "fix" area as nothing is broken. The tuning of hipfire can be changed and tweaked, but it is not a broken mechanic.

    Also, there is a significant portion of our community that wanted hipfire to stay as it was. The changes made are a middle ground.

    You are correct in that is not a "broken" mechanic.

    What it is, it is an unbalanced mechanic, which was left unbalanced. But that's not surprising, considering that in this game, aiming down the sight of a sniper rifle is less accurate than shouldering it.

    Now I am curious as to how you determine "a significant portion of our community" wanted hip fire to stay as it was, and how "significant" is quantified.

    Oh well then, ADS no more for me, only hipfireing (like last few days)

    Console issue for sure.

    I used to rely on hipfire on console to win fights, because it required a certain amount of skill and many players didn't use it. It required a fair bit of practice.

    But, something has definitely happened with auto aim. It's ridiculously easy to do now, without any need for skill to lock onto targets. And now everyone has realised this, last stand is nothing but hipfiring.

    The hipfire nerf was ok, even though it killed a play style I worked to get good at (more average than good tbh). This auto aim thing is a problem imo, because now anyone can do it without even being good, and in the current form, can land more bullets from auto aim hipfire than actually aiming with ads.
