Hitscan or Projectile?

[discuit]

New to RR and was wondering if anyone can tell me what's hitscan and what's projectile in the game? Cheers.

On that note if anyone has time to add a brief description of what weapons are good for what and there drop off if they have any. Thanks again.

- there is no bullet-drop (except plasma-launcher, warrior-axe and poison-pistol - somewhat)
- atm everything is projectlie with travel-time (they seem to think about adding hitscan-weapons as well though)

No bullet drop at all? Im sure I've seen some weapons bullets dip at range. 😯

[SuperMeggy]

No bulletdrop

Every weapon is a projectile, EXCEPT sword (obvious reason) and the shotgun

The meta right now is picking mage with his class weapon, fireball and iceblock

The best neutral weapons are the slug and heirlom rifle

[thebadman]

Pretty sure shotgun is hitscan.

I just edited, sorry! Poison-pistol, warrior-axe and plasma-launcher has some sort of bullet-drop. But it's more of a mechanic I would say. They fly in diffrent arcs.

[SuperMeggy]

The weapons that "bulletdrop" are:

Poison pistol, but you don't want to use that in any situation

Warrior axe, because it is made for close-mid range

And Eng plasma gun, same reason

hunter bow also drops but it's almost nothing

[naka]

you guys really sure about the shotgun being hitscan? I ask because of the weapon-survey and the way it was phrased in there.

Next Q. Do some weapons spread more if you're jumping about than others? Also is there any accuracy bonus to crouch shooting? Thanks again all!

[naka]

Do you mean normal jumping or by using the movement ability?

Jumping ♥♥♥♥♥ up your aim with some weapons. Crouching does nothing, you just stop making step noises

I meant normal jumping but I guess it applies to movement abilities that let you shoot while in motion too. Could someone elaborate on which guns are movement/hipfire friendly and which suffer massively when in motion?

Hitscan you click at the person and you are guarantee to hit them (like instant, thete is no bullet travel speed/time).
Projectile you have to calculate the time that the bullet travel to hit your opponent.

He's asking WHICH weapons are, not what those terms mean.

Please read properly before replying to threads.

It still makes noise, just not as pronounced.
