Ogryn Ripper Gun recoil causes crosshairs to leave the screen

Weapons

Issue Description (Required):

The Ripper Gun family has historically had fairly high recoil. On the MkII, the crosshairs could just about reach the top of the screen. With Mortis Trials providing more and more ammo efficiency, however, it is now possible to consistently get them off the screen with the MkV as well, even when including effects that reduce recoil such as Concentrate.

That there is no upper limit to how far the crosshair can be pushed by recoil is not necessarily an issue. What may be, however, is the desync between the client-side view and the server-side effects of how aiming works. When the crosshair has superseded the screen, the player can aim fully upward to loop their aim back behind them. On the client-side, it seems I’m able to hit walls above and behind me, and I see impact markings when doing so. Witness reports from other players however don’t seem to share this view. I am concerned that there is a desync happening between where the bullets of the gun go on my side compared to where they are actually going on the server’s side.

I would do more rigorous investigations, but getting this loadout in Mortis Trials can be cumbersome and is prone to flights of RNG, so hopefully playtesters might have tools that can better illustrate the issues I am observing.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

  1. Obtain a loadout that allows the Ripper Gun to fire continuously for 25+ seconds. I did this by taking three +3 Stamina Curios, the Concentrate Talent, a Ripper Gun MkV with Cavalcade, and playing as Emperor’s Favoured in Mortis Trials to obtain the That’s One’s Free and Desperate Strike Minor Indulgences.
  2. Stand before a tall wall, facing away from it at a small distance.
  3. Fire Ripper Gun continuously until the crosshairs have passed beyond the scope of the screen.
  4. Pitch player view up to its limit.
  5. Observe impact hits from the Ripper Gun’s bullets
  6. Have other players stand near to observe from an outside perspective.

This is a problem I reported a few months ago, and it doesn’t seem to have been fixed yet
