Revolver and Crossbow aiming trick
Hey there, just wanted to share something I found. This may be common knowledge or not even really considered a "trick" but it sure helped me right away. I was able to hit 3 headshots in a row from a huge distance thanks to this.

Instead of hip firing right away or using the iron sights or scope, use suit zoom instead to get a target's head on the little orange plus crosshair. Let go of suit zoom and fire instantly.

This works well for the Crossbow too since the zoom on that is a little hard to use for me.

Nah, I personally find it to be too unpractical, considering there is a delay between zooming out and being able to shoot. After all, enemies do move around, so unless they're just sitting in one place aiming regularly is just better. Also, the crossbow zoom is actually GREATER than the suit zoom, so that would only be somewhat useful with the revolver.

Cool, I have used that in the past but totally forgot how useful it was. Thanks for the reminder!

Yes, but the sensitivity is crazy high which makes it very impractical. The suit zoom sensitivity is retained from normal play. I know there is a zoom sensitivity slider in the options but setting it for the crossbow makes the revolver very slow.

I don't really have any problems with my sensitivity, so just using the regular zoom for the revolver/crossbow is completely fine to me. I do agree they should make the zoom options for both weapons separate though.
