Thread: Opinions on manual gun cocking?

  1. #1

    Opinions on manual gun cocking?

    What would you think of a Red Orchestra style (press fire to cock) manual cocking mechanic for bolt rifles and pump-action shotguns? What if it was extended to automatic weapons after reloading if the chamber is empty? I want to know the opinions specific to this kind of feature because the other thread's input was a bit diluted by the other minigame suggestions.


    Note: I am not asking this in official BI capacity.

    Press fire after firing the weapon.

    The 2nd option, though i prefer to tap the reload button (longer/hold reload button would be reload), pressing the fire button while not wanting to fire your gun just doesnt feel safe imo.

    Indeed, part of his contract stipulates that 'manual cocking' is a NSFW topic

    Arma 3 is a unique military game with an infantry focus. Built upon appropriate, useful and engaging elements of simulation, it's an accessible platform for a variety of official and community playable/ sandbox content, based on the principles of authenticity, diversity and opportunity.

    I would like to see manual cocking for the 2nd option using the fire key like in RO. Its not a bad thing to have (and as I recall it was an early version of having a safety)

    Personally, I'm fine with cocking being done automatically when you load, or fire, the weapon.

    what celery forgot to mention is that in RO manual cocking the bolt weapons is switchable on or off in the menu... = more options for each individual
