Guild Wars 2

So I was doing some hearts and got the elixir gun model for painting red Hyleks blue. But all of a sudden I noticed this(pic attached)
She is shouldering the rifle instead of hip firing. WHAT?! Why can’t we get this normally?

Its Engineer that fires from the hip, not Charr. Even the basic attack is called “Hip Shot”.

Pretty sure Charr Warriors get that normal shoulder fire animation, though I don’t have a Warrior so I can’t be 100% sure.

yeah.. wars aim along the barrel with their rifle while engineers use it more like a shotgun (especially looks funny if you use the hunter… 360 noscope ftw). Only elixir H is aimed…for some reason

Technically it still isn’t right, the butt of the gun goes firmly against the inner curve of your shoulder, not wedged in your armpit.

That animation should be featured on the warrior’s kill shot ability (with the kneeling down and such).

I think possibly elixir F and super elixir have that animation also, but I’m not 100% sure. Usually moving around whenever I fire that thing. If you stand still, I think it’ll be the same, although obviously with a shorter cast time.

Just a preference I guess then. Wish it was just shouldered instead.

Dear ArenaNet, please give us an option to choose or make them all shoulder. kthxbai
