Hi,
Long time fan, but so sick of the issues. I've attached videos of the latest ones.
First Batch:
First up is the True Patriot set. Wanted to do some testing and realized a few things while in the shooting range.
- True Patriot perks showing up sporadically or NOT at ALL
- Hundreds of Bullets NOT registering - this also happens in live gameplay against NPC's.
- Position of bullets hitting the target (visually) seems to be different than actual scores that do show...when they show.
e.g. hitting the upper chest seemed to hit the head (red damage) - Could be a side affect of the whole bullets not registering and the visual side only showing something at approximately the same time.

Second Batch:
- Wearing 4 pce Negotiators and the perks simply do not activate or do so randomly
- Same thing happens with skills...they just stop responding.
- Also note that a purple sniper can 2 shot me to down it takes a significant amount of rounds (100k to 200k a bullet at 850rpm) just take off their armor. I guess those purple vets run 10 million armor or so armor....lol.

There are other issues with skills not working, specifically for things like Hard Wired but I don't have videos.
Also, with a set like hard wired, why is it if I run a hive (charges) and a drone, I can toss the hive and use it up, but if I destroy the drone, the Hard wire doesn't restore my hive to full with all charges?? The hard wired set is only good for non-charge based skills.
Just as a follow up to these issues I have a question for the devs...
What good is saying a rifle is 280 RPM or higher when you can get nowhere near that ever?
If I load up a 10 shot rifle and fire off all ten shots then reload and it takes 2 seconds to reload and 0.5 seconds to fire, then I could only fire 90 RPM maximum.
Problem with this game is that if you fire a rifle faster than 1 round a second you are more likely to automatically miss, even if it looks like you'll hit and that's with a high accuracy weapon.
Maybe you might miss less on a 144fps PC but on a console with an SSD it is a no go. Spamming shots will miss more often than not.
I can post videos of this.
Overall, I'm left wondering who though it was useful to to put RPM's on weapons that mean nothing.
Please upload the video if you have it.
They tend to take videos and screen shots of issues/problems/bugs more seriously than just posting about them. Plus it gives them actual proof when passing these things along to the devs. At least that is how it seems. Plus it is also why they always ask for videos or screenshots if they aren’t already provided.
I have noticed this with my bakers dozen rifles. Missing shots when I have clearly hit a target. Even happens at the firing range at times but I am not able to record game sessions currently since I use remote play to play the game and not allowed to record while using remote play.
The hard wired set is having issues but mostly it doesn’t refill or refresh cooldowns when the damage boost is active from my understanding on other threads about the hard wired sets. Personally I gave up on all gear sets when I realized you give up at least one attribute per item and you can’t change the talents on them. To me it isn’t worth using them for those 2 reasons alone plus all the bugs/issues with gear set items. But the hard wired set bugs/issues have been reported and they are “working” on it but no time line on when they will actually fix it or any other gear sets that have been reported. Sadly.
Thanks for the feedback!
I did link some videos showing the first items and shouldn't need to upload a video for the rifles. Just log onto any console, go to the range and pull the trigger as fast as you can.
You will NEVER get to 280 RPM. Make sure you have no reload boosts on as they will skew your reload speed.
It is possible that PC's can get a faster RPM by running at a higher frame rate but they still won't hit 200 RPM.
Then again the Ubisoft Game engine is garbage for managing player speeds. Don't believe me...watch a youtube video with a counter showing in game like on the current time trials.
A high FPS player runs and spins like he is on speed compared to a console player. I use an SSD for my consoles (Pro & X) and there is no way I can run as fast, bullet registration is worse on high RPM weapons and they can turn around on a dime.
Yeah I don’t think they ever intended SSD drives to work in consoles. They should have for sure but I didn’t see any changes when I put one in my ps4 granted I don’t have a ps4 pro I guess it could be different. I have the original ps4 from release. SSD didn’t help it any. PCs do have an advantage there and in other ways I guess. I’ve just never been a big PC gaming fan myself. In my opinion can be an expensive hobby to say the least. RPM on rifles do seem slow but I never tried counting. Would be nice if we could use the full rate of fire without missing shots even when we ARE on target. I know when I am at the firing range testing things or new builds or tweaking builds more often than not my first shot never does damage for whatever reason no matter if it is a headshot or body shot it doesn’t register.
And I was just asking for videos before the mods asked. They always ask for “proof” which makes sense considering things. Makes taking issues to the devs easier/better when there is proof of an issue rather than some random players word for it. Personally it seems like the devs just shrug off most complaints or feedback from the community and just do or “fix” what they want and rarely take the community into consideration. But maybe that is just how things feel from my perspective.
