Recoil Off or On. Your choice!

If you can't figure out why you keep dying to people who are so far away you can barely see them, here's why. They have disabled the recoil of their weapons with a chat window command.

Apparently it is quite legal and not a ban able offense. I've watched countless Youtube videos where it is blatantly obvious they are using the command. You can tell because when they zoom in the screen doesn't actually zoom. It just brings up the gun sight. So why doesn't everybody know about this? Good question. I've been playing for over a decade and this is the first I'm hearing about it. So in fairness, I'm passing this information on to the entire community.

This is a chat window command that will disable the recoil effect of any weapon.

/fp_fov 115

This is a chat window command that will re-enable the recoil effect of any weapon.

/fp_fov 72

That feeling in the pit of your stomach right now is the reality that you have been fighting with one hand tied behind your back.

I don't think it impacts your recoil but rather decreases cone of fire/bloom or increases projectile size with visual manipulation.

Use T7 Mini-Chaingun and compare those 2 FOVs. There you may notice that something is fishy.

In terms of recoil, I have seen many compact their screen resolution which prob indicates they are attempting to counter vertical recoil.

Aha you are right, 115 specifically messes with recoil. I see.
Possibly with other manipulations when I noticed that T7 Chaingun bullets hit more with higher FOV, compared to lower like 65 or such.

Higher FOV reducing the impact of visual recoil (keeping in mind that the weapon is still has the same recoil, it's just less impactful because you're zoomed out more) has been known for quite literally years. It's the same reason that screenshake is much worse with higher zoom optics. But no, most players are not sitting at 115 vertical FOV (I'm currently at 90). The higher your FOV the smaller your targets become, especially their heads.

Have you tried it? No! Or you would have seen the command doesn't affect the FOV.

fp_fov ## literally changes your FOV to the numbers that you input in

Can you make it permanent. Every time I die or teleport, it goes back to normal.

In-game you can use fov slider to go to a max of 74, to go beyond that and have it save you need to find your useroptions.ini and change the verticalfov under rendering to the # you'd like to use.

You may not want it on all the time. For me it depends on what situation I'm going into like as a max for instance. I have the commands macro-ed for on and off. Quicker and easier that way. An infiltrator has time to use it as well. But I don't try to run and gun using it.

He's talking about making changing his FOV to be permanent. Not your misunderstanding of what fp_fov does.

yeah those CVPOT guys on emerald use this the ones with the Australian flag

Pal, what is your problem? I simultaneously answered his question by giving him a better strategy to use in the field making his original inquiry somewhat moot. Your the only one who has a problem with my answer. From what I can see here he, or anyone else in this thread for that matter, don't seem to have a problem. Just you! Now run along and ask mom for a cookie.

I guess they don't teach reading comprehension in the schools anymore. I sure hope somebodies written down the instructions on how to use a screwdriver for posterities sake!

I always have a problem with people spreading misinformation, I already stated what the fp_fov ## command does, explained how FOV (which includes your FOV changing due to choice of optics) impacts visual recoil and then provided a video that shows it in play. Trying to call someone a child while literally lying (or maybe you're just ignorant) is hilarious hypocritical.

You also didn't answer his question, because his question was how to make the new FOV permanent (something obvious since he literally quoted my video link), since if you change it through fp_fov, said fov resets everytime you respawn.

You just have a problem period! Must be a Harris voter. Facts mean nothing to you or your ilk.

Must be ... A COMMUNIST !!

Your ability to ignore video evidence to spout baseless nonsense would be impressive if it wasn't pathetically sad.

Damn effect... you've been squashing me with the cbx75.

I think I need to send mithril a letter and box of chocolate with a request to buff the NSO maxwell to have .75x ADS, so the robots can finally have a more rounded arsenal. Tired of the bots only having the cbx,galiel as the good guns.

Fun gun to use, especially being one of the best carbines in the game.

I do wish the NSO AR's got some buffs across the board to make them competitive.

Your video evidence doesn't happen on my screen. My settings are default so I see exactly what others see. Again you are the only one saying it doesn't work. Get a clue!. You are a choir of one. Oh and I'm done with this topic and you're on ignore now so bark away little doggy.
