The infamous "quick-draw glitch".

No game is perfect, well, besides pong. Just a sweaty pvper here...wondering if you could adjust some things to make the crucible more competitive for everyone. So...as I'm sure some players are aware of, there is a certain glitch that many players use in Crucible. Even many top tier pvp players have been using for quite some time, including, but not limited to: Frostbolt, Panduh, Wishyouluckkk(screw Twitch, watch him on YT)...etc. The glitch allows players to almost immediately switch weapons, allowing for easy and unexpected shotgun clean-ups(depleting the remainder of an enemy's health), or...if using snipers and bows, can allow for easy primary clean-ups. It is activated by "sprint cancelling". That is, activating sprint to cancel the weapon switch animation. The animation prevents you from firing your weapon, but, if you "sprint cancel" you can skip the animation almost entirely and fire the weapon you are switching to. With the quick access sling and the quick-draw perk on a shotgun, the animation moves so quickly you can't even see it. Near .1 second weapon swap. As you could probably imagine, this is an issue for new players that aren't aware of the glitch. For other players like me, it's just annoying to deal with even though it's become habitual. Sometimes it doesn't work so it's never consistent, yet you are expected to use it in higher-level matches. I might just autohotkey that mug and call it a day, but, anyways... Thanks to you all at Bungie hope yall are doing okay. Hope ya get this.

  • to be honest this has been a thing since D1 and at this point it is a skill gap thing. like bunny hopping in apex when it first came out they fixed that and no one wanted them to but they did it anyway. learn to do it yourself and just think of it as a new skill to learn it really doesn't need fixed. just because something is a bug doesn't always mean its bad for the game.

  • This is an example of why sbmm should always be in effect. Keep the sweaty glitchers playing against each other.

  • I think the switching gear to negate cool downs is a bigger issue, watched someone using mask of barkis, teleported away then switched helmet and back to the mask... Seemed a bit cheap

  • Does this explain how sometimes people can shotgun me while running full speed, which shouldn't be possible?

    • Its more about a skill mecanic than a true glitch. Takes a lot of time to master in pvp. (Unless you do a macro wich is ehh) And isnt really an issue to the game.

        This is literally in every FPS. I really hate this community. You're all bots.

      • I don't think its a glitch. Also thanks to double slug strat we know it doesn't skip fire rate either. I think things like this should be made intentional because its an additional thing to learn mechanically. Very cool.

      • It's not a glitch lmao. Animation canceling has been in the game since day 1, and destiny definitely isn't the first game to have it either.

      • It’s a problem for sure. Many players would say Oh Well Only A Few Use This. As if this was justification for its existence. Any time I went into Survival there would be a 50% chance of finding someone doing this.

      • If they thought it affected their bottom line; it would be addressed. You'd be better off appealing to their greed factor - but have to produce numbers to prove it. Hence: find another game that's more community run, instead of owner greed.
