Are bipods still planned?asked by sladuog
TL;DRBipods are still planned but were left out of the first attachment set due to animation complications, and there is no date, not even a vague one.
Yeah, they're still planned. So we didn't manage to get those out with the weapon attachments tier zero set that we actually got out there, just because it has additional animation complications. Obviously it flips in and out; you have to get the hand interacting with that. And then once you're actually on the floor, you're meant to be pivoting around the bipod if you're actually aiming, and that's trying to move the player's body around. And as you know, with the unified rig, things aren't always as simple as they are in other games. So 100%, we still want to do those, and they're on the list. I'm not sure when they will come in, so I can't even give a vague date on those. But yeah, we know how useful they're going to be for gameplay with things like LMGs and sniper rifles. So yeah, the bipods: yes.
