Question about Eye of Reach

The eye of reach should make less damage close up. Maybe the damage could start small and then increase over the distance between you and the target. Sea of Thieves should not be like Call of Duty where everyone uses the sniper rifle as a close combat weapon.

Yea I play on Xbox and its dead center hip firing.

It's not dead center, it has bloom but usually if you hit from close the bloom doesn't matter.

So it does hit dead center then...

No? If you're close to someone the shot can arc upward, side to side, etc but it can still hit their body if it doesn't have a ton of travel time? That doesn't mean it's dead center, which it's not.

You keep explaining that it does hit dead center...

You say it "can" miss. No need to be so argumentative. You're agreeing with me.

"Is the EoR always a dead center shot when hipfired?"

Answer is yes.

@eatdamuffin

You are though.

Yeah, and you said it hits dead center. That isn't what you said before, you said it has bloom so it can miss.

Your photo doesn't prove anything. I don't know why you are so upset. Relax dude. Your opinion isn't fact and you aren't providing any evidence, so I can't just take your word for it, you feel me?

Especially since you seem to just be arguing for the sake of it. Completely ignoring what is actually relevant to the discussion.

I did that "test" you speak of, and I noticed that the shots all land dead center. Gee golly. I guess that proves you are wrong?

@lenny2k3 You are definitely projecting here.

You literally just replied to this thread to continue the argument.

"He's upset because you are arguing for the sake of arguing."

Objectively speaking that is an impossibility considering the fact that he replied to me; not the other way around.

Its hard to take either of you seriously when both of you are indeed saying it does hit dead center, its just not "dead" center lol. [Mod edited]

You are actually delusional. L**o

[Mod edited] Only to reply to the part of the posts you can use double think on. I don't understand how you ignoring the rest of what I said is proof it is true.

[Mod edited] expecting people to just take your word for it. Notice how I made an accusation, and then backed it up? lol

@lenny2k3 said in Question about Eye of Reach:

@condorcalabasas
This isn't an "opinion", but rather a question of is or isn't. EoR is not 100% accurate when hipfired.

I am ignoring the rest of what you are saying because it's utter nonsense and argumentative garbage.

The OP asked a question, he replied (with the correct answer), which you started nitpicking because of the 'spectrum'.

OP never asked if the EoR is 100% accurate, you are proving my point.

The reason why you are ignoring the rest of what I'm saying is because it is objectively true and [Mod edited]. [Mod edited] You treat me with disrespect and respect me to respect you? [Mod edited]

Nope, I never nitpicked anything? What are you even talking about? [Mod edited] How could I have nitpicked when I didn't reply to anyone? I just answered the OP. I didn't scroll down to read any of the other answers, I just wrote down my response and answered the question.

Answer is yes.

I don't think dead center means what you think it means.

It is was always dead center, ie it hit the same spot over and over, it would have 100% precision. It does not have 100% precision when no scoping, ergo it does not hit dead center every time.

Weird I don't recall OP asking if hipfiring had 100% accuracy...

Calm down.

#1 The EoR does NOT fire “dead center” from the hip. This is a fact that you can easily test in game. (Or even ask Rare)
#2 If you do not agree with the statement above then you do not (at the very least) properly understand the definition of “dead-center”.
#3 Both the above statements are not my opinion. They are what used to be known as scientifically supportable evidence based truths; or FACTS. I realize that the younger generation seems inclined to believe that their opinion “counts” where FACTS are concerned. This would be another mistake.

1. It does though.

3. Actually both of those statements are your opinion. I realize that the younger generation were never taught what semantics is, or how to actually provide a coherent argument, but making a statement and making zero attempt to back it up is proof [Mod edited]
   I love how you mention scientifically supportable evidence. Despite the fact that you just proved you don't know what the word scientific means, you failed to provide any evidence supporting your claim.

According to supportable evidence, aka the definition of dead center, the sniper rifle does indeed hit dead center when hip fired.

@daddy-sanctus said in Question about Eye of Reach:

Well.... that escalated quickly. LoL

I’ll do some testing when I get home and check out the accuracy. I guess I always assumed it wouldn’t be that accurate unless scoped in. But it appears that at close enough ranges, the variance in bullet spread leaves the EoR as a formidable hipfire PvP weapon.

Thanks for all the input everyone!

See, even OP agrees it hits dead center. Its almost as if OP doesn't care about semantics, and wasn't trying to figure out the exact percentage accuracy of the EoR, and was just saying "dead center" in reference to whether or not it was capable of reliably hitting the center of the screen.

Weird how all of you assumed OP cared about semantics and the exact percentage of the EoR in hipfire, despite him never mentioning either of those things, in his first post, and this one. Hmmmm. lol

@personalc0ffee said in Question about Eye of Reach:

There

Now, take into consideration stability, ship wobble, gun wobble, recoil, etc. etc.

There's no way the gun fires dead center every time. Could you get dead center sometimes while firing, I believe you could but it will not do it every time. It is going to be off to the left or right.

If you want true dead center, you ADS.

It does hit dead center though. Everyone including OP just agreed that it does hit dead center, [Mod edited] OP didn't ask if the EoR was 100% accurate when hipfiring, he asked if it hit dead center lol.

And you are "taking into consideration" things that literally do not exist in the game lol.

You say a lot for a guy who clearly doesn't understand the English language.

OP asked if it always hits dead center. This is the same as asking, not just implying but literally by definition, if it has 100% precision and 100% accuracy.

It is always aimed at dead center, sure. I'd be hard pressed to name many games/weapons that don't aim at the center of the viewing area when fired.

But aiming and hitting are two different things entirely. Does it always hit dead center? No, it demonstrably does not.

[Mod edited]

"This is the same as asking, not just implying but literally by definition, if it has 100% precision and 100% accuracy."

You just said I don't understand the English language, but you just proved you don't even understand the basics of forming an argument. No actually objectively speaking it is not the same, hence why the definition of "dead center" does not include anything related to if it has 100% precision and 100% accuracy.

[Mod edited] and you make zero attempt to explain them.

"It is always aimed at dead center, sure."

[Mod edited] How is that relevant to what is being discussed? Notice how you can't actually reference the definition of "dead center" but can't even explain what you mean without referring to something completely different?

"I'd be hard pressed to name many games/weapons that don't aim at the center of the viewing area when fired."

@callmebackdraft said in Question about Eye of Reach:

@condorcalabasas you must be a joyfull charactur to hang around with, dead center means the following:

dead centre
noun
noun: dead center
the exact centre of something.

As you can clearly see in the image provided it doesn’t do that, both the definition and the image are not oppinions they give and show facts

A EoR fired from the hip doesnt hit dead center however if you are close enough the bullet spread doesnt matter as with any weapon even irl.

Each one of you needs to stop bringing up the image. It doesn't prove anything, besides that you are all wrong. It shows bullet holes.

You want to prove yourselves, make a video of you shooting the EoR twice. No need to walk up and zoom in on the bullet holes, you'll be able to see where the bullet goes. You'll notice it goes... dead center... every single time. The reason why an image is being used is because you all really despise being wrong.

The definition you provided proves me right again, proving you all wrong lol.

"as with any weapon even irl."

I cringed.

@entspeak said in Question about Eye of Reach:

@condorcalabasas It’s not semantics. Dead center means that it hits the spot dead center. The EoR doesn’t always hit dead center. You’re arguing that because it’s easier to hit up close, it must, therefore, be hitting dead center - which is an absurd argument. Much as is illustrated when using the blunderbuss, the shot goes out and is within a cone that gets wider as it extends from you. Hip firing from a distance would mean you have a greater chance of missing, and hip firing up close means a greater chance of hitting. In both cases, the EoR is using the same cone and the bullet doesn’t always hit dead center point of that cone.

"It’s not semantics."

/facepalm That isn't how things work. Objectively speaking it is semantics, and unless you want to actually be taken seriously you are going to have to make some attempt to back up your claim.
"The EoR doesn’t always hit dead center. "

It does.

"You’re arguing"

I haven't argued with anyone. I made a point and you are all really upset about it because it sucks to be wrong.

"easier to hit up close, it must, therefore, be hitting dead center"

Weird I don't recall saying that. Its almost as if you have no idea what you are talking about and are using a strawman argument.

"Much as is illustrated when using the blunderbuss, the shot goes out and is within a cone that gets wider as it extends from you."

A different gun is your way of explaining how the EoR works? lol

"Hip firing from a distance would mean you have a greater chance of missing, and hip firing up close means a greater chance of hitting. In both cases, the EoR is using the same cone and the bullet doesn’t always hit dead center point of that cone."

Too bad dead center by definition doesn't have anything to do with any of what you just said otherwise you'd actually have a point.
