All the NEW GRIPS in 1.8 CTE (Insurgency: Sandstorm)

kinda late video, but this should give a rough idea what to expect from the grips coming in Operation Breakaway.
things to note:
-all the footage was recorded in the CTE, so these aren't the final states of the grips, obviously (we can expect some adjustments in the live build)
-a lot of the animations are kinda jank here, those are gonna be ironed out.
-the point shooting grip isn't coming in 1.8 (hopefully in a later update it will)... it was kinda half-baked anyways
-weapon swap speeds seem to be universal among most guns (exceptions being MGs and AMRs)
-aiming grip doesn't do much when standing still, but apparently helps when going from sprinting to ADS
-reload grip has the most varied effect on guns as far as I can tell... e.g. the G3 benefits more from it than an AK imo
words from Mikee on the Sandstorm discord: "We'll go more into that later but we can say we bumped damage on the underbarrel shotguns, rebalanced the grips, and removed the Point Shooting Grip. The PSG felt like it needed more time to explore in terms of gameplay balance and overall implementation. It felt like it was missing key features like a clearer way of knowing when you're in point shooting mode, better animations, and just general polish/bug fixing."

Lmfaoooo... I hope they fix this.

[@bruh-uy3vn]

The faster reloads look so much more natural. They should have been the standard imo

[@AHPcameron]

Tbh I think the reloads look more natural being sped up, as I don’t know why but a lot of tactical shooters seem to make there reloads super slow, even though they look fantastic, it’s just kinda unrealistic when being under fire and all and your slowly replacing your magazine...

[@leechoonfai4316]

Agreed, now I run loading grip on almost every weapon. If I can reload faster than the default animations while playing magfed paintball, I'm sure trained soldiers under fire can reload like their life depended on it.

[@CEOofSleep]

True

[@Mikosah]

I really want that point-shooting grip. For just about any sort of close range weapon, that would be amazing.

[@cheznoob4307]

0:37 Yeah I know the grip reload is glitched but holy fuck that looks cool af

[@danielal8230]

i loved the details that they have different grip for different front grip

[@beltbustertx]

The rails for the aks look sicc

[@danielal8230]

Zenit custom is always sick

[@ThatOneSniper]

@@danielal8230 We need a full AK-74 Zenit in this game.

[@actualteddybear891]

Im confused how a grip helps you reload faster.

[@therarestnormies7859]

shhhhh, it's content ps. i love this game, but i don't get it either

[@matthewledford7209]

Yea it doesn't make sense, it should just be an additional option in the loadout menu that costs points, not a grip.

[@gimlifan12]

I’m just glad they added extra variety when it comes to attachments. My favourite thing to do in shooters is playing around with the attachments and seeing the effects they have

[@mr.gripsandtheboys3469]

Magazine assists and flared magwells would've made more sense tbh. But I am glad they got added because variety is really nice to have.

[@meadester]

Because it’s so damn tacticool.

[@HKM4A5]

Looks like loading grip comes with "new" broken animation

[@TheVertical92]

It think it would be better to make the classes more meaningful. Making Quickdraw exclusive to the Breacher (bcs he is a CQC-Class). So that every class has specific training. Atm the classes only have specific weapons, and the Commander/Observer are the only ones with class-features.

[@xSinpaiix]

great video!

[@tactaillike2]

likewise, dude

[@homeygfunkoffacherryfruitl4971]

Shoulda made faster reloads a magazine option that you'd choose over an extended or drum mag so we didn't have to waste the underslung attachment slot.

[@epicfail6887]

3:02 dat trumb

[@yeoshenghong3461]

Why won't the grip give us recoil control, i hope they add heavy barrel much help

[@aguspuig6615]

okay LESGO

[@zackbobby5550]

The one on the right is just how fast reloads should be standard. Your dude is like a crack operator not some dork taking his first day to the range.

[@ferdinant4101]

Which button do you shoot with? It doesn't work for me even though I press all the buttons

[@truffles]

so basically they don't do anything

[@Ch3sm0829]

why is the point shooting grip not coming to 1.8???

[@bsmn2oid]

ikr

[@user-wg8co4mx7v]

0:41 reloading is 300 bugs

[@Kudimovkap]

0:40 omg whats wrong with your hand BRUH

[@jthele]

How does a grip make you reload faster 🤨

[@tactaillike2]

it gives you a morale boost, causing you to reload quicker

[@ECcR0]

Wish they did something like sleight of hand reloads from cod mw and not just a grip with sped up animations

[@valcant940]

Want stopping power too while we are at it ? ^^

[@no-bodymr6419]

Perks that cost supply point?

[@bwfextreme]

wheres the recoil grip

[@tactaillike2]

the recoil grip is not new

[@naomi_moon]

today i learned all these grips are useless

[@kadolift4446]

I think the new grips is very absurd. I hope they remove them.

[@valcant940]

Yes we would all like less content Im sure very little work went into them so it wont be any time wasted to just remove them
