Get rid of hip fire. If I wanted to chicken dance I'd play Division. | Forums

I see there's a lot of discussion about removing hip fire. I'll let the devs know there's interest!

I'm not even saying it should be removed, I just think it should be nerfed. I think they have a good game here, other than maybe bringing up the SMG damage. The biggest issue I have w hip fire is the LMGs. It's a little corny, & hard to defend, when a player has 100+ rounds to hip fire at you. I also don't think it should be the first option in a gun fight, & many people seem to use it that way.

Its a TPS, tighten it up please. Feels like I'm shooting blind when it should feel legit.

LMGs in the game are so innacurate due to exxagerated recoil and lack of any attachments to lessen the recoil, as well as the fact their role is suppression, not killing. HF is abetter option then aimed fire, due to exagerated recoil. I have rarely killed anyone with an Stoner, MK48 etc unless they were 5ft in front of me, fireing aimed short bursts, is a crap shoot, as it still governed by recoil and poor accuaracy, and the fact its an area fire weapon.

Where it does get deadly is CQB, and if you put your self in that situation, you get what you deserve be it killed by ADS or HF.

I'm aware of the title genius, I guess I could go back & modify the title. I realize at times it's a viable option, as I've stated I'm sick of people using it as a first, & only option, & I'm sick of it being used on the LMGs.

Then maybe they need to increase stability slightly on them, bc if their only effective use is hip fire they're a trash weapon, being used by trash players.

Who said HF was their only effective use?. Have you even used LMGs in the game?. How do you even know you were killed by HF?. Was it 3rd person, cause thats not HF either. from reading it seems your takeing exception to the 100 rounds more then HF.

Increase stability? well that would certianly be interesting, i can just imagine the resulting nerf LMG posts here 8).

Actually YOU suggested they're not good for anything but hip fire. & the fact that I have eyes lets me know I was killed by hip fire.

Ah, from my option remark. Oh your eyes told you, ok. So to recap, you got killed unfairly by someone useing <gasp> hipfire:, useing one of the worst, weapons in the game concerning recoil and accuracy. So due to the method of your demise, Ie, the audacity of that person dareing to use hipfire, and getting a rare LMG kill, UBI should now remove hipfire from the game.

That about sum it up?.
