How To: Reloading and other useful actions
By ShadowsThoughts
EDIT: Hey guys, still working on this guide. I'm in the process of rerecording all of the weapons with a better resolution and more isolated to a single weapon per video for easier searching. Hopefully they should start getting uploaded later this week.

I've gotten a lot of questions in the first two days while playing the game and a handful of those have been simply, "How do I reload?"

Typically those take the form of "I can't shoot!" or "My guns broken!"

I thought I would start a series of How To videos for variuos actions in the game starting with reloading. For most rifles, the formula follows a similar pattern:

  1. Press and hold 'down' on the dominant hand track pad. This preses the magazine release button.
  2. Pull out the mag with non dominant hand using the trigger to grab.
  3. Let go of the track pad to release the magazine release button.
  4. Grab a new mag off the lower left side of your vest and insert it into the rifle.
  5. Rack the weapon if needed.

For pistols it's very similar.
  1. Press and hold 'down' on the dominant hand track pad. This preses the magazine release button and the magazine will fall to the ground.
  2. Let go of the track pad to release the magazine release button.
  3. Grab a new mag off the lower left side of your vest and insert it into the pistol.
  4. Press 'up' on the dominant hand track pad to slide the action home OR gram the action with your non dominant hand trigger and slide it home manually.

It's important to know that you cannot press up to slide a pistol if the slide is already in the firing position i.e you can only slide it if its all the way back.

Thanks for that info M3gaLight. It's most likely a bug that hopefully will get fixed.

I am left handed and I noticed I never get the code when I press on the tablet . The reason for that is that you have to use the trigger on the left controler (the one holding the tablet) instead of the right trigger (as you should be doing).
This will only apply if you use left hand to hold the weappon . it is something that might have been ovelooked .
So if you shoot with your left hand point with the right hand over code and press left hand trigger . same when you put the code or send the uplink .
@Shadow - Maybe you can include a video about that too or maybe it will be changed .
Great tutorials , keep up the good work .

This should be the "go-to" thread for all new players. Great job!

np. There's more to come. Going to restructure a bit when I get time to record more. Clean it up and add the rest of the weapons. Also a 101 guide will be added soon. Go to my channel and look, it's there, just no time to add here till tomorrow.

Awesome videos! Incredibly helpful explanations of the locomotion and reloading of the more complex guns. Thanks!
