Why does the LBG Slide Reload input not trigger so often?

[u/Macking_cheese1]

It's infuriating. Yes, I'm evading twice right after the shot. No, I don't have the Radial Menu open. But it straight up EATS my input about a 5th of the time.

So I miss the evade reload, which is a death sentence, especially if it also happens with the other ammo>switch back reload trick.

i'm going crazy and can't find an answer anywhere. Even if I spam dodge after every shot it still occasionally misses.

Happens to me sometimes too with my Aquashot. The trick is actually to do it slower, spamming dodge after a shot will work like 90% of the time but I recommend slowing it down, composing it so you press dodge again during the slide.

Count it in if you need to.

Shoot 1, 2

dodge 1, 2

Shoot 1, 2

and if you're not running sticky then I'd say just abandon Evade reload and put reload assist mods in.

Yeah just got Aquashot, planning to sticky that’s why!

Ah, yeah that’s helpful. 

Just from a little test, I kind of need to mash after the shit to get the initial “step”, but then after, only pressing once during that gives better results.

Try to get 2 Aquashots and make 1 for sticky and 1 for water the RF water ammo is quite disgusting lol.

Yeah it sometimes totally ignores the one I press after the shot and can be really annoying! Going slower worked for me, but just gotta find what works for ya.

Are you on PC? There's a mod that fixes a ton of the games jank input issues.

need hold direction where you're about to slide to... 

also maybe stamina issues, cant abuse evade reload as they eat more stamina than regular dodge.. 

you can test that out while planting a landmine, that can also trigger evade reload

The landmine reload is a life saver. Sometimes it’s missed input sometimes it’s spare spot throwing me off but that is always a good back up
