BrianD 0 Posted July 12, 2012 You know how sometimes when you hit 'Z' your character will just drop into to prone on the spot from stationary, but other times he will run forward a little then drop into prone? What cause the run forward to occur before prone?I ask because after stealing a DMR from someone who wasn't watching their back in Balotta a friend and I headed to Cherno to loot the hospital. I was covering from the roof of the opposite apartments when I spotted two people running north up the open hillside. Eager to get my first ever player kill, let alone my first sniper kill, I went prone only to watch my character swan dive off the roof to an embarrassing and infinitely frustrating death.So what causes that movement forward before entering prone? Any help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyanyde 165 Posted July 12, 2012 go into your control settings and delete the double tap w to sprint part..It's the number one cause of falling off stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LumberBack 43 Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) it does this when you have lowered your weapon, happens when you climb ladders or press the button for lowering your riffle... Edited July 12, 2012 by LumberBack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KWilt 157 Posted July 12, 2012 I always assumed it had something to do with movement when you go to prone.To be safe, just crouch, then prone from now on. I don't think you get the dive if you're crouch running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm talking about going prone. Not pulling up the weapon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
species5021 28 Posted July 12, 2012 If you double tap left control your character lowers your main weapon, he is stating that if your character is in this position and your press prone you will do the swan dive. So if your gun is lowered, which can happen after performing several actions like looting or other when you click left mouse your character will raise the weapon again.

Can't think of a time when I've done the dive and I've had my weapon down. Usually it's if I just prone while running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
