Why is McCree's crosshair moving when he's shooting?

Srsly, the most annoying thing ever. Does it move just to mess with the player? No wonder why i have barely touched this hero. This is the reason why i always quit playing him.

So you are not playing one of the best Hitscans in the game because of the fake recoil animation?
Damn you must have very high standards in life dude. I think it adds “realistic” animations to the hero and actually have ZERO impact on the accuracy/precision but hey, you do what you do.

Good Luck in any other games with ACTUAL recoil and insane spread.

I’m pretty badass with the deagle in CS:GO actually.

I know that it does not have any impact on the actual accuracy, but it’s visually annoying as hell.

The recoil/xhair resets to the original position in time for you to shoot. it’s purely visual.

Personally it doesnt bug me at all, and hes also the best hitscan char i can play >.>

Yes, it’s visually annoying. If it’s just there to be realistic i don’t really understand why it should be there at all? What is realistic with OW? :stuck_out_tongue:

Are you referring to the recoil? That’s pretty standard in almost every FPS game. Even the deagle in CS:GO has some recoil to it which moves the crosshair.

Yes, but there is something with the visual recoil that completely mess with my aim.

There is a recoil compensation option that maybe screws with you. You can try toggling it and see if it feels any more natural.

Otherwise it sounds like you just need to practice.

Sure i could practice, but should i have to?

If it’s not supposed to affect the player’s aim, why can’t we just disable it if we don’t want it to move?

If it’s only there to be visual that is.

12

Yes. Definitely. It’s how you win games.

You forgot to read my whole post tho

I’m fairly certain it is not just visual as suggested above. It’s intended as standard recoil as a balancing feature for how much damage he does per shot.

15

Every fired a real live revolver? You have to have fantastic muscle memory to avoid recoil.

16

It’s visual feedback to the give the perception of impact and recoil, and part of what makes the gun feel like it’s an impactful burst weapon.

17

So now OW is a realistic game all of a sudden? :confused:

18

There is no recoil…

19
