Feature or Bug?

I didn't read anything about this on the changelog. This was taken after running for about a minute. Last night it was even worse, to the point where my gun was nearly going off my screen. My friend is having the issue, too. His AKM is uncontrollable even when you sit and rest for over a minute. I heard people mention something about broken arms. I have no tried that yet.

Considering the number of other threads about this happening with other guns, I would say bug.

 

Although I start to sense a pattern about the various issues with the recent stable: fewer m4s, lots of m4 ammo not working, almost no akms or mags, uncontrollable sway when using scopes on any gun, mosin damage nerfed (apparently). All in all this recent stable should have made guns so rare and gunplay so unplayable that all the people crying for friendly pve servers seems to have gotten a build that indirectly supports their view.

 

They should probably enjoy it while it lasts.

I had the same. It's damaged arms. I've used a split and it stopped that shaking.

Alright tried that and it didn't fix it.

You have healthy status?

It is not damaged arms. Damaged, sprained, arms (not fractured) gives the "My arm is in pain" message frequently, but it doesn't actually do anything. You can use morhphine or splints to remove it, but all it does is remove the pain message.

 

This sway is inherent in the recent build, it is a bug, and it occurs to players with no damage at all.

Yes, I have bright green energized, hydrated and healthy.

I think it's a bugged feature.

[frosti 2165]

Try using split 4 times to be sure it fixed all limbs.

This bug needs to be fixed.  Lol, it's terrible sniping at the moment.

[rickyriot 1009]

Lol, it's terrible sniping at the moment.

 

That is a positive. 

[SniperwolfMR 153]

This is literally making the game unplayable. The sway when looking down the scope that attaches to the AK is laughable. 

[HIHBGaming 14]

I did find if you ran, stopped and tried to aim the sway was worse then settled down after about 30 seconds or so. I did this a few times to see if it was consistent and it was.

 

So, I'm not thinking it's a bug but a feature that may have to be tweaked on certain guns. The test was done with a PU scope on an SKS, obviously it would be worse at higher magnifications as it should.

Yea, if you are out of breath, the scope is useless.  However, the scope is still dumb when your character has been lying down for 20+ minutes.  It's HAS to be a bug.

It's a glitch of a bug of a placeholder.
