The weapons system has been overhauled and better tuned for ADS arcade action!
[h2]Weapon Patch Notes[/h2]
- ADS / IRON SIGHT firing is FIXED! (more tuning ASAP)
- WEAPON AIM ADS / IRON SIGHT in both Third and First Person
- BULLET SPREAD has been REMOVED (except shotgun weapons)
- CROSSHAIRS replaced with HIP FIRE aim dot in both Third and First Person
- COVER AIM has been added - auto stand up if from behind cover
NOTE: there are issues with some weapon models + sniper weapon scopes need an overhaul as well. I always seem to break the skeletal mesh when trying to edit the models in Blender... so am going to try using Unreal 5.5 with the experimental skeletal mesh editing tools to see if I can fix things with those tools and backport to UE4.
