Fix Weapons Lock

When you have stats like these, your weapons should not lock every time somebody steps in front of your bullets.

-As in, you're hitting friendlies 1 or 2 times once every 30-ish seconds

when you have stats like that, I would expect you to have trigger discipline when people are walking out of the spawn shield you are firing through.

When you say something like that, you make it sound like it's easy to not hit somebody in the back once and then cease firing. Y'know, hitting someone ONCE. Not TK'ing them, hitting them ONCE.

step 1) look at the map
step 2) realize there's NOBODY around to even try shooting at through the shield
step 3) wiggle my willy with c4
step 4) ???
step 5) profit

hitting someone ONCE is not a problem.
Even Tk'ing a few players with a badly thrown grenade doesnt bring you a weaponslock.

If your weapons are locked... well, you know... you did way to much Team Damage.
Dont be selfish, and if someone runs in front of you (which happens to ALL of us), just stop firing.

Honestly, its not easy to get weapons locked. Its actually YOUR behaviour.

Hit enough people once and you are likely standing in a bad spot/ tunnel visioning like everyone else around you ADADing like a mad man and cutting through other peoples hitboxes, or you are shooting through a busy spawn shield people are trying to exit. your stats should mean nothing when it comes to weapons lock, that's not how its meant to work, if anything weapon lock is too soft in most situations, to the point were I pretty much have to throw my self at a team killer to get his weapons locked in any meaningful time frame.


All in all I think I have had like 2 weapons locks in my whole 2 years of playing this game.

If you're shootings pretty much constantly for a couple minutes, and friendlies are constantly running in front of you, it will be a problem.

meh it was an off the cuff remark about shield camping, ether way OP brought up his "awesome" stats and is blaming everyone else on his team for him shooting them as if it should really mean anything when it comes to weapons lock. OP likely has bad trigger discipline / awareness of his non squad team mates, end of story. He came here to rage non constructively on the forums since he had to sit in the corner for a few minutes and it ruined his SPM.

personally, i love running out in front of people who are shooting. I like knowing they tremble in fear of my nye evolution skills that make them read "This is your final warning."

it's all about the thrill of the kill y0

Uh, bruh.
Out of my past 100 kills only 3 have been TKs. I'm not one of those people that says "hurr i wont stop shooting if you run in front of me."

I'm not saying I'm better than anyone else and I'm not blaming them, I'm blaming this stupid mechanic.

didn't say you were one to team kill, now tell me how many times does this happen to you on a regular basis? all you have presented so far is "damn man I am so good i should never be locked!"

you sound like a doctor listening to symptoms

diagnose my diabeetus m7+2-1

Warnings happen all the time, but then I usually die. I don't really think It's fair when you're doing so well, then you get weapons locked because a few stray bullets are hitting your friendlies consecutively.

-As in, you're hitting friendlies 1 or 2 times once every 30-ish seconds

yeah, anylising data is such a weakness in people these days, its almost like op is angry because his kill streak got stopped by a weapon lock (that for experienced players is rare to begin with) and started raging with no real information. grow up. I might have been a bit inflammatory with my first post, but now I am trying to get more then "i'm awesome I shouldn't be locked" out of this so we can have a real discussion about weapons locks, not just a ***** fest.

that can be an issues in some cases (note it looks like you are in a bio lab farm) like the only place I have ever been weapon locked just due to the base design, that doesn't sound like exactly a glaring fault in the weapon lock system, but it does show that maybe it should be tweaked maybe on a per base/hex basis, or the damage over time threshold for locking adjusted.

uh. . . . so is that a yes to hypertension?

you have fun with that.

DIAG KNOWS ME BRUH

Honestly I don't really see it as a base problem, whenever you're in a (HA) position where you're holding down a room or chokepoint, assuming you don't die... You're definitely going to see a lot of "final warnings." Especially if you're VS using the Lasher, I assume.

I've played since before launch--and played way too much with way more time than you have--and I've never been weapon locked. Chances are you're doing something wrong..the weapons lock mechanic is very lenient.

You sound like you have some bad habits that you aren't willing to acknowledge. Some combination of situational awareness, purpose, usefulness, positioning, trigger discipline, faction recognition, etc.

Just a thought.
