Well wanted to do another guide on something in respawnables but I promised to do this on my last episode yesterday, but I never did it so gonna do it now :).

Ok there are many glitches in this game. But many things people consider glitches really aren't and I'm gonna be going over some of them.

Reload/Fire Glitch

Probably the most infamous of "glitches" this glitch occurs where if you tap the reload button instead of waiting for your gun to automatically reload and you hold down the fire button, you reload one full second quicker and fire much quicker than usual. Actually this isn't a glitch, this is a mechanic of the game. It takes a second to realize you fired your round and therefore it auto reloads one second slower than it should, I think DLE does this because it's cheaper to do but idk. The firing faster happens because, your gun whether it's reloaded or not isn't based off the animation, but rather if the round is back in the gun or not and many other games do this. This is why in many games you can skip the reload animation for bolt action snipers by hitting the sprint button. This is also why in respawnables, with every gun you can fire before the animation fully plays out.

Flaregun stuck midair glitch

Ok this glitch was something that was in the flare gun trivia for a while until I fixed it. Basically it stated that sometimes there was a glitch where the flare would strike someone even if it misses slightly and still kill them. This results in a flare being held midair above someone instead of being in their body. This is actually not a glitch but rather a mechanic of the game, projectiles have a bigger hitbox than hitscan weapons in this game, it's just not obvious because flares are the only projectiles that don't explode on impact. But if you look at the flare gun mk2, it's again pretty obvious to see it has a much bigger hitbox aswell.

No pump action glitch

This is a thing even this wiki documents as a glitch. It's where if you press the fire button on a shotgun and press the reload button at the right moment, you will skip the pump and instead continuously fire the gun. This isn't a glitch, but rather a few game mechanics operating in perfect harmony. When you fire, you need to time it perfectly so you reload before the pump, (you can do this but it's very difficult), after that midreload you hit the fire button. In the first split second you can fire out of the reload but not after that. This makes skipping the no pump on a shotgun possible but again it's very difficult. I still can't consistently do it and I've been playing this game for a very long time.

Ok, hope you guys enjoyed this respawnables mythbusters episode, if you guys have recommendations for the next episode please post below. Peace out!
