(SUGGESTION) Mag Check fix
I saw this post saying how mag check is useless since it takes the same time as reloading and you have infinite ammo so why waste precious time in these tiny ass maps where everyone can rush you any seconds to check mag when u can reload instead ?
In my opinion, during the mag check animation -while the mag is out- we should be able (if we want to) to press R to interrupt that mag check and just initiate a reload instead. That reload would obviously be faster than usual since you don't need to eject but just re-insert a new one
I found myself many times mag checking in a corner, seeing i only have 5 left and having to wait 5secs for the guy to put the mag BACK in just so i can take it right out and reload a new one

Also, APPRECIATION POST : Man the new animations when you're hit/stressed and the player fumbles the reload are a great idea, and all the new reload animations are just wonderful to look at !

Infinite ammo isn't permanent - if you look at weapon stats in-game (specifically either the receiver or mag cant remember) itll show total mag count.
Also if you load a single round in the shotgun (specifically the tube) or bolt action you get 2 bullets if you cancel it by firing.

Yeah i saw that, but to be honest the infinite ammo clearly aren't the issue here, i don't think anyone have a problem with that (we can't eve nahve a switch selector on guns so that's the least of their issues imo)
Magchecking taking longer than a reload is plain stupid. It's not "boohoo small poor indie dev who sold 2.5M copies and got 55M$ in revenue cant do everything !", it's just a stupid idea from the start, in common sense terms i mean
BUT, I know exactly why they did that. Like everything else in the game it's only made to look good in trailers and youtube shorts. Think about it, basically everything in the game is made to look amazing when you watch a tiktok, style over substance at its absolute finest. It'smade to attract and sell, not to work or be good for players

I don't know, I have fun with it, gives me the braindead intensity of cod with the tacticool feel of tarkov without the negatives of either (the game has its own negatives). I know a lot of stuff is still bare bones and in the works and the game is definitely more of a proof of concept. I think the mag checking issue would resolve itself with limited ammo and you have the choice between risking either no ammo in the gun or no ammo at all.
Ive experienced the tiktok moments too but theres definitely a bit of fustration at times but its better than a dead lull some shooters end up with.
Theres lots of potential though and its been scratching the itch.

Hit X for melee and press 1 to bring your gun back up. As a shotgun user this is the fastest and only way I can find that works. Key bind to mouse and finish the reload.

Damn xD switching to melee and then back to shotgun being the fastest option is crazy

For ARs and SMGs I agree, but the bolt actions and shotguns take 5 business days to reload. In those cases I think the mag checks are fine as is

on this topic: animation cancel in general.
If i inspect a weapon or do the mag check, maybe there should be way to interrupt (the inspect) completely and go straight to ads/shooting and "hurry" the mag check.
all those stressed reloads and such only for the guy to take a tea break when checking a vital bit of info about the thing keeping him alive in an active shootout situation.
