Posting it in reddit because it would be too complex for discord #suggestion channel.
Current bipods mechanic are really janky and hard to use. Mounting your gun are really uncomfortable and takes too much time. Gun constantly slips off if you turn a bit too much and dismounts itself. Mechanic in general are too abusable, often allowing some absurd angles where you basically invisible for enemy.
To fix that, there should be few changes in the system:
- Bipods should have bigger interaction radius or any kind of system that automatically mount them on most suitable spot.
- This way player doesn't need to perfectly angle the gun, which is especially problematic when you trying to mount your bipods on smaller surfaces, like window frames or sandbags.
- Character whole body should stay aligned with a mounted gun and move respectively, depending on direction you aiming.
- This way we fix the abusable part, where you could shoot around the cover without sticking your head out (which is also the reason we can't use bipods in PVP)
- Only auto dismount bipods if player start to move or changes stance. Throwing you out of bipods just because you accidentally turned a bit too much is annoying
- Turn limits of a bipods could indeed get increased if you make character follow the bipods (look for change №.2)
Devs could also use other games like Arma or Squad as reference. Bipods in those games feels much more reliable and straight forward to use.
