I think its a mechanic when taking fire it causes your character to stop ads'ing, very frustrating.

I’m trying to be actually helpful. Hip aim doesn’t go higher than a certain point in this game, so that may be the issue. Going ADS actually solves it.

Happened to me once, had to switch weapons to get rid of it

Yes, and we have plans to make adjustments to this. We're very focused on some bugs and community suggestions, but it's on our list of things we'd like to tackle.

This just happened to me literally as I'm writing this post. Seems the bug is still occurring.

Has been happening to me a lot as well. My character randomly stops aiming sometimes when under fire, despite not getting hit.

I was just about to jump in and ask this - weapon down will still occur on hits and not near-misses. Are you sure you're not being hit, Lukasoss? Video will be extremely helpful to us here.

I can confirm the old flinch mechanic is back in force. It feels like I drop my gun again just because they look in my direction.

Yes, I can 100% confirm I'm not getting hit. This is not an issue that arised with the latest hotfix or anything. It has been happening ever since the flinch "got removed". I believe I sent you a video on discord some months ago about it, but I can record it again when it happens. I haven't been playing much 'cause I'm waiting for the friendly AI, but I did notice it happening on ocassion while playing (singleplayer and coop with just 1 friend) lately.

EDIT: Is it possible that we are indeed getting hit, but there's not visual feedback? There usually are some other screen effects when hit. Maybe it isn't that the flinch is back, but there could be a bug that doesn't render the same effects on screen and only lowers our weapon.
In any case there's no indication of being hit afterwards. You're completely fine as if nothing happened. The other day a bullet hit the wall next to me and the character stopped aiming and I was forced to re-aim. I'll definitely try and record it when I have the time.

It's possible, but I have to check with the team. If these reports are accurate, there may be a bug hidden somewhere here.

Can you guys give any more specifics for a repro? Any maps or modes? Specific insurgent types that cause this?

As soon as I've more free time to play it (and provided that it happens again) I'll try and send a video over discord with as much context as I can.

Was just trying to play my first game and couldn't aim from the beginning. Right click was doing nothing. I know it should be working because I had played training for a couple minutes just prior to this and it was fine. I play with toggle because holding is uncomfortable and messes with my aim. Other players were fine. Ended up standing a little ways down from spawn pressing ♥♥♥♥ trying to get it to work, then went stupid and pulled the pin on a grenade, killed myself and alt+f4'd. gg ez.

At least you found out the issue affects only the weapon and not nades.
