Left-Handed Weapons

When it comes to First-Person Shooters, the #1 problem I always had with them is that all of the guns are held on the right hand from your own perspective. Obviously since the world is dominantly right-handed, this issue has probably never really been addressed. For all of those who are right-handed, imagine playing with a left-handed character. Watching your character aim, shoot, and reload with the off-hand is unsettling. If you at least mirrored the gun animations from now own, I would appreciate it greatly. Thank you for reading this message.

  • Ewww, damn lefty mutants. Right is right, left is wrong. (just kidding, I upvoted because that would seriously drive me nuts and I don't think mirroring the character would break anything. We still shoot at that central dot)

    • You can change weapon hands in CS:GO, and I can confirm that it’s extremely unsettling

    • As long as they use left handed enhancement cores.

    • I never even thought of this cause I'm right handed. It'd be cool if there was an option to choose in shooters

    • Lefty here as well, I'm with you. It's unsettling to shot guns IRL left handed then play a game and it be reversed. Playable, but slightly annoying.

    • If you notice all ghosts stay to your left. Never to the right. So you will never be able to shoot from the left. Something about it in lore. Check it out.

      • Agreed. I'm right-handed but my left eye is dominant so I've always held any gun with my left hand and got used to that.

        • I wonder if you could make an exotic out of it. I know it doesn't fix your problem, but it could be interesting to have a weapon that was wielded by a left handed guardian and was somehow more powerful when held in your left hand.

              • I'm ambidextrous. I'm terrible with either hand. I'll see myself out...

                • Upvoted, since taking up archery i've found it so jarring trying to use a bow in game. It's just backwards and feels totally wrong so i can definitely get behind this! To be honest i was thinking about making a post like this a few weeks back but never got around to it, it'd be cool to have an option to have a left-handed character to match real life. (Although already the Orpheus Rig exotic has a quiver positioned for a lefty)

                • Lefty here too, while I haven’t really found it much of a nuisance, it would be cool to see it happening.

                • I'm right handed but shoot left handed IRL because I'm left eye dominant so as a roleplaying perspective I would love this. Just another step of emersion.

                • I'm usually ambidextrous irl and had played some games that do flips weapon shoulder does have a little impact on how the bullets move around on the maps. Just a head up that it can affect how a player use shoulder swap on parts of maps.

                • I’m right handed and I’ve always thought that changing the dominant arm in shooters would be a great idea. I wouldn’t imagine it being [i]that[/i] difficult, and it’d be a nice touch for people who are used to that.

                    • As long as my bullets hit the enemy, I hadn't much thought of that. Due to having to code/save 2 full sets of animations for everything (1st person and 3rd), I'm guessing we're not going to see it.

                      • Tbh I think it would be kinda cool to wield your gun in your left hand. I don't think it should be a priority but I don't see the harm in adding it.
