#combat reload

[historyofguns]

The article "Under-Fire Reload Tactics" by Mike Boyle, published on The Armory Life, discusses the importance of mastering gun handling skills for self-defense. It emphasizes the "Combat Triad," a concept by Col. Jeff Cooper, which balances mental conditioning, practical marksmanship, and gun handling. Boyle stresses that while gunfights requiring reloads are rare, possessing quick reload skills is important for safety and preparedness. He advises carrying at least one spare magazine and practicing reloads using dummy rounds to enhance reliability even under stress. Different reloading techniques, such as using the slide stop or overhand grip, are explored, with emphasis on finding a personal, comfortable method. Lastly, the article suggests focusing on speed and empty gun reloads rather than the more complex tactical reloads, considering the practical challenges posed by stress in real-life situations.

i'm sure the devs are aware of the problem where henry being too high level makes boss fights super underwhelming but i'm not sure what the solution would be either, like, maybe boss hp could scale with henry's levels??? coz hearing both István and Zsizska give this whole evil speech about the upcoming fight before it starts only for them to immediately get oneshotted with a single masterstrike, while comedic, feels like i got robbed of some really cool combat, yknow?

Today I found out what happens if Gale dies (temporarily), and I... have some feelings.

I'm snooping around the area surrounding the Adamantine Forge, and my gal Fern leads the way across the lake of lava. The party, who clearly have separation anxiety, immediately decide they cannot bear to be parted from her and would rather run straight into the lava to get to the next jumping-point than find a safer route. (Should've thought to split the party but, y'know. Hindsight.)

By the time I realise what's happening, Gale's frail little wizard hit points have been long since lost. I decide to reload because a) I don't have time to go to camp and ask Withers to fix my mess because I'm on a time limit to get to Nere and save the gnomes and b) Gale is still in the lava, so no one can Revivify him. Leaving him to marinate while we go kill Nere would just make me feel bad.

But as I'm reaching for the Esc key to return to my last save, I am launched into a dialogue with a projection of Gale, which pops up to inform Fern that hello, he is Gale of Waterdeep, and if she's seeing this, he has unfortunately perished. By the way, it is of dire importance that she bring him back before the hungry orb in his chest detonates and kills everything. He hopes that he's made everything clear. All very businesslike and very well-spoken and very Gale.

And yes, I reloaded, but - not before I got the mental image of Fern standing screaming at the edge of the lava. Fern, who trusts Gale as she hasn't trusted anyone in a decade, Fern who's been falling for him, staring and helpess and knowing that for all her fire-resistance she can't get him out. And Gale's proejction pops up and talks to her like she's a stranger, being so professional and 'here's why it's important that I don't stay dead.' While Fern's on her knees with tears evaporating on her face from the heat, choked and furious and screaming.

Gale 'my tressym is my only friend' Dekarios. You never imagined for a moment that your 'in case of my death' message might be delivered to someone who loved you, did you? You never thought that whoever saw it wouldn't need to be convinced.

I wonder if, for all he left a message arguing how logical and important it was that he be resurrected, he was surprised to be brought back.

Making a level 0 Lancer character just to try it out and I wanted to make a kinda support character, so I ended up with a playstyle that does stuff like using Lock On to support allies, and also placing drones and using tech attacks. When it came time to pick my weapons, I realized I probably won't actually be shooting them too often, so weapons that require reloading won't have that much of a downside.

And that's how my support character ended up wielding a pair of Missile Racks and a Superheavy Cyclone Pulse Rifle.

I never played Citadel but Beyond Citadel has really fun gunplay. The rest of the game is rough and it looks like a guro fetish game, but there's something really fun about complicated reloads and also having to manually pump your shotgun or work the bolt on a carbine

Honestly, my only complaint with Reload is how limited the AI feels.

In the og it could act freely, we could give the characters direct commands (my preferred one honestly), focus on knocking down a target, heal/support, attack the fallen enemies, conserve sp, assign a specific target and stand by (I still dont know why thats in the game but-)

In reload we can only do like half-

Understandable, I don't have an issue with the combat systems. But as you say is what you prefer.😊

normal civilians don't know how to reload guns one handed nor would they get a direct line for someone like Chris Redfield
