I noticed after the new launch of the Clan patch that my ultra ac 5s now fire on a single fire now. When I mash the mouse button for carnage it only shoots one shot. Did something change? What am I missing here? Please any help is welcome.

Thanks

Patch Notes - Gameplay

• Holding down the fire key no longer auto-fires UAC shots, you must release the fire key and explicitly press it again to fire all your shots.

Well done nerved the Uac5 to crap... WELL DONE
A full automatic weapon that now only can shoot single fire nicee idea,
Which brilliant head thought this out lol
a multi barrel full automatic gun that is force to single fire.

It's a quality-of-life buff for UACs, though not the one I was hoping for. A toggle would be better, but barring that the new mechanic (hold down for regular fire rate, spam click for double-tapping) is certainly better than the old one.

Having to click more than once- nerf for the lazy?

It's not a full auto weapon if treating it like one results in the weapon jamming constantly.

It's not big deal in any way at all. But if you're really bothered by it, just use a macro.

???
so if i mash my fire button repeatedly, there will be no jam???

your logic does not apply here. the jamming is part of the UAC5. I think the only reason PGI came up with this &%#$ idea is that their servers was registering multiple button presses for a single UAC5 shot resulting in more jams.
I still expect the UAC5 to fire like a normal AC when i hold down the fire key and go "ultra" if i double tap.

[Nothing Whatsoever]

And the jamming was originally permanent on the field also.


Edit:
Here are some caps from the Master Rules and Tech Manual.

I just realized why what I said doesn't make much sense (because treating it like a full auto weapon would actually mean holding the trigger down) but my point was that if you constantly mash the fire button it will jam up.

Holy crap, inorite?! I mean I have to twitch more than once to increase my rate of fire!

[ACH75]

This NERF sucks badly

I feel double tapping manually jams more frequently and make this weapon really worst than before...

IMHO i think the auto fire have to be restored and the chance of jamming should be reduced at least at 15% otherwise

it can be made incremental, 10% jam rate if you mount 1, 15% if you mount 2 and 20% if you boat 3...

[Hans Von Lohman]

This stops it from jamming on the first shot.

I approve of this change myself. I never liked the idea that my gun would suddenly stop working for no reason, and I wanted to go to x2 rate of fire myself.

Now you can do just that.

Insert reference to Vietnam era m16s here.

[Powder Puff Pew Pew]

I never even used the hold option, I just spamed mouse fire for the AC's anyways lol. I love the carnage of balistics. <3

[Kharax]

With this dumb single fire change the have to be gone consequent and change every weapon to single fire, sorry for the lazy.
