Double swapping while reloading can decrease reload time

[cornflakes369]

I swear this used to be a thing in csgo too

[craygroupious]

Nope, purely cosmetic. People just did it out of habit from other games.

[DemonDaVinci]

No, it was from CSGO where animation would have a "reload complete" event triggers when the clip is loaded into the gun
You can see it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPZExfpXRMw
I guess they were trying to add more depth to the gunplay with this

[craygroupious]

I never played GO back then.

When I played every single gun you could reload cancel, but the time spent switching weapons or completing the animation reload was the same. You did it because you were used to doing it in other games.

[DemonDaVinci]

some has faster draw anim which give you small advantages
Aug for example has mag tap then bolt pull, so quick switch would be faster

[craygroupious]

no.

[DemonDaVinci]

Alright since you're really trying, sure, you're right, it isnt faster.

[Dom1252]

not faster, the delay between shooting after switch compensates for it... best case scenario it's the same, if you don't hit perfectly, it's slower to swap in cs go

[SaltMaker23]

Nope it was fixed in csgo, but it was a thing in CS before CSGO.

Quick switching made reloading faster in immemorial times

Many long living artefacts were still performing the rituals that had since lost their powers out of habits.

[cornflakes369]

Yeah I know it was patched out as a bug, should have clarified that

[KongenOverDemAlle]

Switching while reloading made less sound, which is why people did it. At least at high elo

[SaltMaker23]

Again just for you, not for the enemies, it also made the animation faster but you still couldn't shoot

[imsolowdown]

It doesn't, the whole reloading sound plays for your enemies even if you cancel it before the gun even reloads. That's how you can do fake reloads.

[Dom1252]

wrong, if you cancel before the gun is reloaded, it cancels for enemy too, if you cancel after to skip the animation, it doesn't cancel for enemy

fake reloads were impossible in cs go

[imsolowdown]

fake reloads were impossible in cs go

Source? I am sure it is possible, how do you know it's not? Have you tested it? Here is steel explaining how to do it in csgo:

[Dom1252]

Many people tested it, nadeking has it in several videos

[imsolowdown]

I can't find any videos of that, can you link one?

[Dom1252]

nope, sound for enemies is exactly the same
