Simply put, no matter how many “fixes” y’all try, Rare cannot fix something that’s as simple as just don’t let people equip 2 guns. Because aslong as macros are allowed on this game. Toxic PC players will keep Double gunning and it’s one of many things that just absolutely ruin the experience.
Get rid of Double Gun, for real this time
Personally yes I agree and think the game would benefit long term from it's removal however it's a preferred weapon loadout by many users. Double gunning is quite risky and since quick swap removal is not as OP as it used to be apart from those who are still bypassing the swap time. Most of the time it comes down to the blunderbuss in my view that is OP rather than it being double gun itself. I PvP quite a lot in organic adventure and hourglass and as someone who doesn't chase meta's, pretty much only uses sword/pistol, I find the balance alot closer now than it's ever been. Most of the time I lose is down to some form of bug or fault on my part.
I totally agree with your point on macros. as long as someone can macrobind the perfect quickswap and then maybe just glue a dot onto his/her screen, that person will be able to have a oneshotbutton and all of that perfectly "legal" despite that going against the spirit of the game.
But I think targetting quickswapping and doublegunning here is the wrong approach. If someone musclememorized the quickswap then imo thats fair and should be allowed again. Macros should be targeted and detected and every use of those should immideatly lazybeard (so you cant even rejoin after the violation) you out of the game or smth. Also ironsights go largely undetected - there should be something for that too.
Then it'd be all about skill.
But in any case, sword is soooooo much stronger than doublegunning atm. Mostly due to guns rarely registering in close quarter combat even with good aim. Ive switched to sword at the start of s10 again and it's just absolutely overpowered. If you lose to doublegunning right now with a sword, then that dude either cheated or is just a LOT better than you at the game and would probably win against you with just 1 weapon anyways.
@ictus-xxi The sword hasn't changed and hit reg's just as much as the guns do. The main difference is the longer change time between swapping weapons meaning double gun needs to consider spacing in a tight space. 2 guns will always beat a sword if they land the hits. The balance is pretty good right now apart from the outliers of animation cancels and macro's.
