    Question for Ubisoft: Why no Bi pods for the M82?

    Why is the M82 the only 50cal sniper rifle in breakpoint the only one without a bi-pod? Hell even some dnr's get a bi-pod. The TAC-50 gets one, The Scorpio gets one, g28 has one, and so on and so fourth. But nope none for the M82.

    I'd be angry too... but its not like bipods are not functional anyway right?

    They are functional though. They add stability, range and accuracy. Not sure if they were animated though as they were locked.

    The L86 LSW came standard with a bipod attached, but the bipod wasn't deployable and the game did not gave you any way to interact with it - it only gave your weapon the aforementioned stats.
    Which is fine, I guess, since the bipods have been a highly requested feature for a long time now and all in all this is a step in the right direction.

    Is Breakpoint getting functional Bi Pods? That would be very cool.

    Do what every other self-respecting recce sniper does, and use your ruck for support.

    At this point I'd also like to know. Although it's quite possible the answer to this question can be found somewhere in this thread.

    I’m thinking a bipod sticking to ground or object surfaces is easier to animate than the player character taking off their rucksack and using that for stability (which would be very cool, but there’s no way the devs are gonna add that!).

    Im mean this — https://youtu.be/kMxcEcYWIa8

    Functional? Something that will offer the player an increase in the stability of there weapon and a decrease in recoil, which would be traded for the vulnerability of immobility whilst you are stationary....
