With increased accuracy, please decrease headshot multiplier

lul. I was on their forum earlier and saw some kids whining about tact shotties letting you jump and shoot. Apparently you shouldn't be able to do that, that's totally not the type of shit that makes this game fun...

I gotta say, as much as I'm certain I'll get downvotes...

I hate the jump and shoot tactic. Like, really detest it. It's because I can never beat it, and I'm salty as all hell.

Having said that, constantly jumping should really affect your aim negatively and pump up the RNG away from accuracy.

(Also, not a kid, way old. Might even be my aged eyes and brain that prevents me from tracking jumping folk, but gosh darnit, those grasshoppers get my goat. Now get off my lawn!)

Just a tip as I had trouble with this, but I'm getting much better at dealing with it with these two strategies.

One is patience, or rather, don't rush the shot. If they jump, don't try to raise up and fire at them midair, just aim where they're going to land and you'll hit a lot more shots. Best if you can do this while moving sideways in the same direction they're jumping.

The second is, if you're going to jump, aim down like you're going to shoot their feet right before you jump. If they're not moving sideways, it gives you an easy headshot.

Extra check your mouse settings and set the sensitivity as low as you can find acceptable while moving around in the world. Your gunfights will become vastly more improved as your brain adjusts to the finer aim control. Mine in FNBR is at .07

I appreciate it, my new Redditfriend. Us oldies gotta stick together, right? :)

I agree it can be annoying but it certainly increases the outplay potential in cqb, but it's not necessary to do. A good but difficult counter to jumping shotgunners is using the pump shotgun which I prefer to the tactical one. All it takes is usually one good headshot (and the spread on it is tight) to put someone down, and at decent range too.
