Is Quickswitch Reloading a thing now?

    Pretty sure that’s always been a thing, as soon as the ammo counter updates, you could quickswitch and fire faster.

    EDIT- Disregard this dumbass post, my old ass was remembering the bolt animation canceling from 1.5 for the AWP, blaming it on lack of sleep and the current heatwave, I’m usually not THIS retarded.

    Lol these dudes in comments have been quickswitching for a decade thinking it’s faster

  3. Pre-patch behavior was easy to see on guns like FAMAS where the magazine came in fast and the switching animation was short. You weren’t able to shoot the gun at all until the hidden timer was up, even if the ammo count was full.

    However, on guns that have an additional sound when the charging handle is pulled, that sound isn’t played if you switch before it happens. Useful in clutch situations. Many people don’t realize this.

    Post-patch, it’s definitely faster to quickswitch after the ammo count refreshes. Whether it’s an oversight or intentional is unclear.

    I give it less than a week until most of the unintended changes are fixed.
