Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

It's called backpack reloading. Hit the reload button twice, and then switch your weapon. If you wait out what would normally be the reload time for that weapon, you'll switch back to a fully-reloaded gun.

You can start shooting again slightly before the reload animations are finished. I've seen never anybody shooting during the whole animation though.

That's what I thought this thread would be about but it isn't.

By the way, to sate your curiosity, your bullets would have appeared to fly upwards but they would have hit anybody standing in front of you. The animations are client-side and don't have any impact on the server's calculations.

Everybody derps from time to time! Certain people on a certain other forum derp more often than some though. ;)

Indeed, this isn't about backpack reloading. My rifle was literally shooting into the air as I was taking and putting a clip in it.


Coming to think of it, I think I have seen this before. Fairly sure it was some mod though.
