#29 Sniper rifles hidden stats? in TF2 General Discussion

gemmit's placebo (kinda), i always think that a visual change, whether it's crosshair/hud/weapon (e.g. swapping to original or cowmangler) makes me hit more shots for some reason.pop7upI noticed that too, but it's probably placebo. I don't hit any more shots with bazaar or machina. Or like gemm said, maybe the difference in how the weapon looks gives you some form of placebo. What kind of stat would make it hit more anyways? More accuracy on a pretty much 100% accurate gun won't do anythingKratataPlacebo definitely.ILLEGALELEPHANTGUNplacebo effect is realFireIts Placebo, all rifles have a point as bullet (so 0 width and height) and are 100% accurate (at least in theory).
That doesnt mean that it doesnt have an effect to you tho like you seem to think, its a very real thing.
After a while aiming become a thing that you just so without focusing on it, so a change in visuals, audio, or the mindest that you can hit way more with xyz gun can influence you alot.faggetpsychology has a big effect on aiming.Citrica placebo effect is still a real effect, the end

hotdotRipTideturn off viewmodels, turn off sound, physically block off any hud elements that suggests which rifle you're using on your screen, record your game as you play, rewatch the vod and if that's still the case then i can take you seriously
nobody needs to do any of this, and he's going to know what weapon he's using regardless of hud elements.

I've done this I always play without viewmodels, and I would randomly switch my loadout, and I think it might be the sound of the sniper rifle helping me aim. When I don't have sound on my aim for both weapons is the exact same but when sound is on I aim significantly better with the heatsmakee.

DirtyMortid like to hear some theories as to what hidden stats you think could be on the sniper. bigger bullets was quite the laugh.

yes it was, i was thinking of the huntsman projectiles and how since they're bigger you have more room to hit headshots

gemmVulcanAt this point im really doubting that it's a placebo affect, could it be possible that the bullets are maybe bigger? resulting in more leeway in hitting shots?
hitscan has no width

thanks for clearing that up

KratataPlacebo definitely.

i used the stock rifle for 30 mins and got a certain amount of kills and then after switching to the heatmaker i got almost double that.

#7 My phone broke and I can't login to Steam in Off Topic

wrechedddddUmm if you get a spare or new phone and activate your cell number on it, won't you then get mobile auth texts since you own your number?

#5 My phone broke and I can't login to Steam in Off Topic

tiptoesExaflamerTry using this help link on steam. You should also have a steam recovery code - not sure if you saved it (which you can use to remove the authenticator on your steam account).pendaDo you remember/write down your emergency code they give you when you first turn on mobile authenticator
I wrote it down on my phone and since my phone just stopped working I can't retrieve it.

thats dumb don't do that
if you have any steam gift cards that you've used you can provide proof that it's your account

I dont use viewmodels on sniper

hotdotcompare headshot thresholds before making this thread.

what do you mean by this?

saamits silenced so people dont notice you as much and you get more time to hit shots

im on a sniper server, and im hitting more of my first shots, normally i usually have to go for 2 or more but when im using this weapon ill headshot them instantly

4812622it discourages bodyshotting so thats not really surprising

i dont see the logic in that statement, im only going for headshots not bodyshots

#1 Sniper rifles hidden stats? in TF2 General Discussion

So i hopped on a sniper server and equipped the hitsmans heatmaker and noticed i was hitting way more shots than i normally hit, to check that this wasnt just placebo i would randomly change my weapons and noticed a big difference in the amount of headshots i hit.
Does anyone else hit more shots with the heatsmaker?
edit: after furthermore testing i have realized that i am also hitting more shots with the machina and the bazaar's bargain
