Gun reload speed is atrociously slow

[Sweggler]

I get that the driver isn't a trained rambo like character but FFS it takes an absolute age to reload every weapon.

for example the various reload times:

double barrel shotgun = 8 seconds
revolver (for 4 rounds) = 15 seconds
M9= 4 (actually reasonable)

this is with
health 5
stamina 4
strength 5
stealth 1

this is in the 3rd area and if your character is supposed to get better at operating guns why are they still at this point reloading with the speed of a geriatric 90 year old on the cusp of their final heart attack?

I have to agree with this. I was watching a person doing a let's play from 1 month ago. The weapons all reloaded much faster. I gave up trying to reload the revolver during the Grace fight.

Maybe "Weapon Handling" could be an additional skill to put points in which would give you faster reload and less sway/recoil for each level gained.

I fully agree we need a skill or something to improve overall weapon handling, and the grace fight itself is a slog now.

Hey! I plan to implement fast charging when leveling up the firearms skill. But I don’t rule out that the reload speed will be slightly increased before the level increases. For now, I'm monitoring the reaction to the implementation of weapon ownership in this version of the game.

Skills to speed up reloading are planned. And weapon wobble and recoil decrease as the character’s strength increases.

Sounds great. Thanks for replying Dev.

you could even add weapon mod's like extended mag's, drum mag's and tube extender's for shot gun's. food for thought
