BHVR did you design deathslinger with crosshair in mind?

To me it doesn't seem like that since has to aim but also he can quickscope insta shot. However people are abusing crosshairs on deathslinger and have super accurate quick scopes and hit 99% of their shots.

I'm pretty sure this isn't how you designed deathslinger. Otherwise why would he slow down while aiming and has aiming addons.

I know you can't prevent people from using crosshairs. But instead redesign his power around the fact that people use crosshairs on him.

    I mean, huntress players also have been using crosshairs for a long time as well. Its not like they can redesign a whole power because they put a pice of tape on their screen

    Plus, quickscopes are not that terribly hard on deathslinger, Im pretty bad at aiming with him and I still manage to hit many quickscopes with him and barely miss others by a few milimetres.

    Maybe they are really good at aiming?

    You absolutely don't need a crosshair to be good with deathslinger, it just helps people that don't play a lot of FPS's/don't have a thousand hours on Huntress and don't have that instinctive knowledge of the exact centre of their screen.

    Although it would be nice if his ADS sensitivity was higher so that quickscoping wasnt the only way to hit a shot against average survivors.

    But Huntress has a windup time which compensates using crosshairs. Btw I think a crosshair should be in the game for Huntress anyway

    Crosshair is an advantage for everyone. Guess why csgo pros use crosshairs and don't disable it.

    Survivors get a sound warning whenever they’re in the crosshairs of Deathslinger. Quickscoping is the only way to avoid this and is more effective then aiming down most of the time which is why it’s used a lot.

    Read your question completely wrong sorry lol, I thought it was another “quickscoping shouldn’t be a thing” post

    Deathslinger has a crosshair, the weapon gives you a crosshair when using ADS. 😊

    However, people tend to memorize where they're aiming at because they know where the crosshair is at when ADS'ing. That's why good Deathslingers can just quickscope.

    Given that people had been doing it with Huntress for a long time, I'd be very surprised if they didn't at least consider that people would do the same with a killer like Deathslinger. He does have add-ons that activate while aiming down sights, but none that have anything to do with accuracy. Given that quickscoping is the best way to play Deathslinger, crosshair or no, I think it's more likely that either those add-ons were designed with newer players in mind, or that the developers didn't think much about the quickscoping thing and expected aiming to be a bigger part of his playstyle than it is. But of course that's just my guess, none of us really know for sure.
