Flinch is NUTS

[Cryptix]

When I get shot at I get flinched SO hard.
Even when I shoot well in advance, if they (or someone else) manages to get a shot in, my aim goes to the moon. It's not TOO hard to counter it but it's way more effort that I'd like and way more than other games.

Maybe it needs a tweak? The TTK are so high too so there is little room for adapting.

Aimpunch aka flinch is a feature i've never understood. It's only purpose seems to be to annoy you even further when you get shot.
It doesn't serve a purpose to me. It's just annoying.

Yeah it's incredibly annoying. Destiny 2 has a similar thing but it's nowhere near as bad AND you can take steps to mitigate the flinch.

Paired with the insanely low TTK and it's basically impossible to fight back if the opponent manages to flinch you off target. Sure, you can overcome it sometimes but it's such a wild feature and feels super unbalanced.

Yeah, flinch has and always will be a bad mechanic. It needs to go.

That sounds like the start of PTSD/shell shock

hahaha I was talking about the in-game aimpunch rather than irl but I see what you mean lol

Nah in real life I am a brick wall; freddy fazbear could tear my ass apart before I even budge, wait what...

Seems fair, shoot first. Like you, porbably, say in case of mecanic that suit you : getgud kevin !

The flinch really is ridiculous. You cant fight back the moment you are shot. Definitely needs a strong reduction.

yes flinch is over the top but there is more head shaking thats happening and its always feels out of place like when i jump i barely can see whats around i would definetly make it atleast half of what it is now (and yes i have screen shake disabled already but still..)

I think that can be changed in settings, not sure.

Is that what's happening? Time to death is SO FAST I'm just now realizing it's the built in flinch mechanic.
