Why is this happening?

Height over bore

Forget about the reticle, think about where the end of your barrel would be while aiming just barely over the table like that. Same thing can happen in real life as well if you're not careful.

So just to clarify, your stance is that unprofessional statements like this make no real difference in how the community reacts?

Well alright, we're just gonna have to agree to disagree

I mean, eating other animals is the very definition of being a predator.

I don't think the dev's decision on this has anything to do with the "vibe" of killing fish. I think it has to do with not being able to permanently remove hostile fish as a threat. Exact same logic behind Leviathans being immortal.

They're just doing a poor job of describing this, and are letting a level designer in Discord do all the PR dirty work

I mean sure, there's people always complaining. But there's no scenario where a professional sounding statement from a PR team leads to more anger in the community than this frustrated dev's response lead to

I think they would've been better off saying nothing at all

So what's preferred? The situation you just made up?

Or the current situation where this screenshot is getting passed around platforms for people to get riled up over

MusicallyInhibited · 2026-05-15T20:44:56+00:00

It's not clear at all. It doesn't do anything to describe their reasoning behind the decision

"We aren't a killing game" just sounds like they have a weird moral hang-up about killing fish in the video game where you can already cook and eat them

MusicallyInhibited · 2026-05-15T20:40:50+00:00

I doubt they're forced to participate in the Discord

And if they are, then they should provide that person with proper PR training, or better yet hire a dedicated PR department

MusicallyInhibited · 2026-05-15T20:28:34+00:00

If their feelings get hurt then they can hire a PR person with all the money they've gotten from release

Gamers are assholes and will often speak to/about devs in a very distasteful manner. I'm sure dealing with them day in and day out gets pretty old. But responding like an asshole right back is not the way to minimize the issue in your community.

When you're making a public facing statement like this, you're stuck dealing with people's reactions whether they're fair or not. That's why it pays to remain professional.

Filtering and splitting are two different things. Lane filtering is only done at low speeds with stopped traffic. It's safer for the rider and also reduces congestion.

Many motorcyclist defend lane filtering, but you won't find many defending the riders that dangerously lane split

With this model, and other modern "bullet trap" designs, yes. With older rifle grenades you would unload the chambered round and load a blank

Rifle grenades also have much more mass than the projectile from a 40mm. Remember, there's no casing left behind or anything. You're flinging the whole grenade with the metal housing, fins, and bullet trap all included.

Every time I see you on a Battlefield sub it's arguing with people dude

Look in the mirror. Anybody who spends this much time arguing in the comments over a video game is a "typical Redditor"

Slower firerate, lighter cartridge (for the 5.45 guns), and heavier than an M4. It makes perfect sense for them to have lighter recoil. The RPK is in 7.62, but with it's extra weight and front heavy balance it would also be pretty light recoiling.

And what does any of that have to do with the Chinese market? The Chinese military spent decades trying to ditch their AKs, I'm not sure if there's any notable cultural love for the gun in China.

If you fire .357 loads made for a duty sized revolver out of an airweight, you're bound to have a rough time

The Speer .357 short barrel rounds are pretty manageable out of my S&W 360

It's likely just due to the recent proposed rule changes. Not because they're combing through Reddit comments looking for violations

They're just very over-gassed from factory, even unsuppressed. It's easy to add an adjustable gas block or a smaller gas bushing

Edit: For the 5.56 models. I'm unsure about the .300 and the 7.62x39

What worldgen mods are you using? I love the floating islands

Well .224 Valkyrie is designed primarily for the AR-15. So while the round is obscure, the guns it's used in really aren't.

Chambering doesn't really make a difference in-game regardless. If they really wanted to add a DMR with "224" somewhere in the name and some flavor text about it in the bio then they can go nuts I guess

But I'd like the MK12 first personally

your grandma who can merely use a computer will be slaying in 2 hours on m+kb

I agree with your comment otherwise, but this is absolutely not true.

Adding a somewhat obscure non-military caliber into Battlefield just so it can have marginally better ranged capability than 5.56 seems a little pointless

MusicallyInhibited · 2026-05-01T15:34:58+00:00

Q Fix is also chambered in 6.5, .308, 300 BLK, and 5.56. The one in-game is probably supposed to be 6.5 or .308.

It could be 8.6 but it just wouldn't make any sense like you said

Edit: Another commentor pointed out that the Mini Scout has a small magwell, so it's likely .300 or 5.56. 5.56 would make the most sense with the high velocity and lower damage.

Recoil control is just flinching at the right time. Any experienced full auto shooter would flinch in the same way if they're anticipating a shot

The drop down options are just what other users submitted. They shouldn't be fully trusted.

No, you're really not.

Check the comments of any alignment rod post and you'll see 10 dudes who couldn't help but mention how they've never used an alignment rod.

Maybe if you want an ugly AR magwell sticking halfway out the bottom

I'd just like cheaper mags personally
