Console Demolitionist - Level 25 Skill: Mad Bomber

[J-Dub]

Greetings and happy Aussie day to any fellow Aussies out there c:

I could be wrong in describing this issue as a bug etc. but I believe it is not currently working as intended (PC).

The "Mad Bomber" skill seems to have no effect on my reload time as a demolitionist where before the update it seemed to work consistently - I cannot seem to notice an increase in reload nor shooting speed during ZED time.

Just bringing awareness

Many thanks,
J-Dub

If you are in the middle of reloading when Zed Time is triggered, the reload for demo weapons won't be sped up and play at real time until the next reload is triggered during Zed Time. This is part of how the system is handled but should still be very useful for the duration of Zed Time. Only in progress reloads should be affected.

Thank you kindly for the explanation and reply.

However I personally find it ridiculous as most times as demo you are mid-reload during zed time (very common that you yourself trigger the zed time) and as such the skill becomes useless as the reload time occupies most of - if not all - the zed time. Therefore it is simply not viable to choose Mad Bomber as a skill whereas it would be an equal advantage to choose it if mid-reloads were affected. I wonder if others feel the same way.
