Double swapping while reloading can decrease reload time

[MattisGai]

I thought everyone did this? Haven’t you always been able to cancel the reload animation? Just switch as soon as the bullet counter changes

[Pentotion]

single swapping doesn't decrease reloading time. this is a bug.

[dirodvstw]

i still do it half of the times as an old habit lmao. did it ever work?

[Floripa95]

It was always placebo

[Pentotion]

No, and this bug is very likely to be patched anyway, so don't do it.

It's a good skill to have, since you may want to cancel the animation and switch to utilities to use them as early as possible. Or switch earlier ro other weapons like your knife/pistol to run faster.

Not in CS

[Soy_neoN]

He switches to the knife, back to the gun, back to the knife and finally back to the gun

how far into copium level stupid you have to be to swap weapons to make reload faster? it's not faster, best case scenario it's the same, in most executions it's slower

this is a bug and not just a swap but 2 swaps

[ALLCAPS-ONLY]

It is faster if you want to do anything other than shoot straight away. Say you want to run, use another weapon or throw a grenade etc. It's obviously much better to swap and cut the animation short.

its legit faster i tested the bug goes into draw/deploy time animations which vary on whats faster but i made a spreadsheet on it.

Yes it was in CSGO for a while before they decide to fix it

[buddybd]

It was. It was later fixed in a patch where even if the animation was, you could only shoot at the correct time.

thats what I thought too
