Left-Handed Guns!

My partner is a lefty! And she's also very new to shooters, so she sees things from a different perspective. I've wanted to get her into the game, but she also loses some immersion since all guns are held with a right-hand dominant feel (trigger hand is on the right). Is it possible to flip some (if not all) the guns? Like, can it be a mirrored toggle? I know it takes a lot of dev effort for something minor, and maybe I'm off base for people who are left-handed. I just thought it would be nice and would make the game more welcoming for her.

    • Gigantic problem. Wow. Sure, how many people are lefties compared to not? 10%? 15%? So all the game developers in the world should take huge amounts of time to make sth as insignificant as that for 10% of the playerbase, so their "immersion" isn't broken? 🙄 Every damn shooter I know has the gun going from right to left. It's been like that since forever. How old are you? 16? Kids these days man... unbealivable...

      I'm a lefty too, but that would really mess me up. I never really recommend these things because it creates some really weird habits and some inconsistencies not just in the game, but in between other games too. Not that I'm against it, but I don't really recommend it.

      • FYI IRL they don’t make left handed guns.

            You're play as a guardian of the last city, I would like to think most if not all guardians are ambidextrous in such a post-apocalyptic setting. [spoiler]I'm a lefty and can shot with both, take her to the range.[/spoiler]

          • I am a lefty too. But i dont care. Having left handed guns would feel strange.

            Right handed weapon immersion breaking? Answering to Mr. Clean as your commander okay?

              Glaives are on the right side of the screen, but wielded left handed. I know that doesn’t solve it, but at least one weapon type is wielded left handed.

            • Tbh I don’t understand how this would hurt the immersion. If someone has the imagination to believe they really are using space magic to fight aliens. Could they not just imagine that they are right handed? A lefty moving to a righty is a hell of a lot more realistic than basically everything in the game lol.

            • Huh. Interesting idea. I could see it feasibly implemented as an option to switch dominant hands.[spoiler]P.S. She hot?[/spoiler]

              I may not be lefty, but I understand how you feel (played Minecraft with left hand holding things, felt awkward). Unfortunately, they can't add it, because it wasn't implemented from begining, it would be way harder to implement it now, so, yeah, wish her luck

            • I’m a lefty and I’ve thought about this before, but the conclusion is that it’s not really possible because they’d have to make new mirrored animations for every reload and even make mirrored versions of the some or all of the guns themselves because rocket launchers and probably many other guns are asymmetrical. Even after doing all that work only an extremely small number of people would use it because every other shooter is right handed so even most lefties wouldn’t use it. As a lefty and a very accomplished fps gamer I can confirm it’s not a big deal, she’ll get used to it.
