Characters Unique Reloads

Just characters with unique reloads. That's it.

Equilibrium: Clerics wrist mags

Various games - Iraqi Reload: A few games have this reload, including Call of Duty and The Finals. I would've put The Finals version here but I couldn't find a gif of it.

Battlefield Hardline - Various reloads: Various guns have a chance for a unique reload, these are two of my favorites.

Battlefield 1 - Double Barrel: The sawed off has a chance to mimic the reload from the Classic Doom double barel reload

Borderlands, where you just throw the empty gun and it explodes

Sometimes throwing them doesn't make them explode but they grow legs and run around as a little turret

Third game got shit on a lot but it had some good additions to the gameplay

The story and villains were so fucking dumb, but the gunplay is the tightest it's ever been. Borderlands 2 was fun, but the weapons just didn't feel... punchy

It's because the weapons are guns and they needed to feel shooty, not boxing gloves, those would be more punchy.

BL3 is the best in the franchise in everything except story. BL4 was cool too, and had some nice additions, but I didn't really care for the open world and the new gun manufacturers were awful so less usable guns IMO.

I somehow did not know 4 existed until months after it came out

The gameplay itself is incredible, it's just the story that's bad lol.

Third one's gameplay was damn good, it just made me want to turn audio and subtitles off.

Bl3 is wonderful for gameplay and animation and art but goddamn did the writing suck, and that's why people are mad.

Bl1 and 2 had just the right balance of good but campy writing, with actual depth to the characters and story. 3 tried too hard at the camp but didn't write any actual character depth. They turned cult classic to garbage you get high and watch in the dorms to make fun of

I exclusively use jakobs weapons, but if I come across a gun with legs I'll add it to my kit anyway lol. It's the one exception
