Stealth Shooting

Post » Thu Jan 29, 2009 3:01 am

So...I have a question about shooting while stealthed because I just cannot figure this out.

Usually, using the DSG-1 Sniper Rifle, when shooting the first shot from stealth (the reticle is clearly over a non-moving enemy) the shot will ALWAYS miss. It is only the second shot that actually hits the target when I have completely come out of stealth.

Is this a known bug or issue? Is it just the fact that I might have the worst lag in the entire world and always happens at this point in time? Anyone else notice this problem?

Happens to me also. Tested it with a friend standing at point blank range and it would always miss the first shot.

Hi, the cloak distorts your view slightly so you can't shoot accurately, you need to decloak then shoot and you will hit.

ok from my past experiences from using a sniper rifle whilst cloaked in real life it has never distorted my accuracy

but i guess it makes sense i like that idea actually im sure there would be a super amount of people complaining to nurf if you could pick people off whilst invisible without an setbacks

Well i dont think you miss the shot. I think when your cloaked you must uncloak before shooting, meleeing, or throwing a grenade or else it will drain your energy and result in that action being cancelled out.

Odd, this seems to work differently in campaign, with stealth enhance I can fire ~3 semi-auto silenced feline shots before the cloak runs out, but each shot works properly.

A couple of things about shooting stealth.

I noticed that with auto, you tend to not hit as much. Also, with if you couple that with a silencer, then you have reduced damage.

Silencers will let you get off a shot or two before decloaking. WITHOUT silencers, you will almost always decloak first shot unless you are using a lower caliber weapon like a pistol or Feline then you'll get a couple of shots off first.

Use armor mode to increase your aim. Also squat and don't use the silencer for max kills. Of course there are disadvantages to this. :)
I notied that when shooting over 100 yds/m (or so) that you need a bit high if you're trying for a headshot; about the height of the dot.

I haven't tried point blank range though. Was that off the hip of down the sights? Which sights were you using?

The problem is in demo too.
I'm wonder if it is just another bug or not.

When I'm sniping with DSG I always switch to armor mode quickly shoot and switch back to stealth (Best way ever) Doesnt lose any energy and if you do get shot it gets absorbed by the suit
