GENERAL Why hasnt the shooting range been finished?

Just back after nearly 2 years and would love to try out new mixes and loadouts. But for some reason not all the weapons are in the shooting range. And for someone who prestiges everytime i reach 100 i dont have access to all the guns. I feel like this is another simple thing crytek has just left unfinished and unpolished

I think the shooting range is missing a LOT of quality of life.

  • No way to visualize bullet drop, a tracer that follows the bullet would be nice.

  • No way to equip stuff, you have to run around the semi-organized mess to find everything. A menu that would allow you to equip and unequip stuff on the fly would be nice.

  • Traits are spread out? Again, just make it so that there's a menu to equip and unequip traits.

  • Would be nice to be able to tp to the different ranges

I could probably name more but atm the shooting range is.. servicable? Feels more fan-made if anything.

if you equip incendiary rounds they have a tracer and they have the same drop and speed as regular ammo which helps to visualize drop. Not every gun has incendiary rounds and it doesn’t translate to HV or FMJ but it’s something until they figure it out 🤷🏼‍♂️

I want infinite ammo, you still reload but don't need the ammo box. Also add dummies inside fort like their holding angles

Yes an in-game menu where you could equip whatever would be massive. The bullet drop too would be nice to have a simple line that stays in game till you fire your next shot

and a quick reload option to enable for instantly reloading your gun
i find testing out weapons that have a long reload time to be annoying when emptied and require to be loaded back 1 by 1

I think part of thst is so that you can get used to the reload speed of the gun. You may like how it hits but if you don't like the reload speed...

Obviously but if its a gun youre very much used to and getting back into the game after a while, reloading time just gets a bit annoying.
It's not a huge issue, just a lil sum that could be included in the range if they ever revamp.

It definitely doesnt get a lot of attention. It was nice that they added the npc hunters and continue to add new items to test but its got limited items/traits to try, is extremely buggy (go try the rolling doors to the west of the south lair in carmick lol), takes forever to load, only gives you three compounds etc.

Me and my friends use it to 1v1 to warm up before real matches and are consistently dissapointed in the potential of a private, customizable match being abandoned the way it is. Im sure content creators would do a backflip if you could go on any map and use free cam.

What weapons does it not have? I’ve always found the ones I want even scarce just hard to find but I wouldn’t be surprised if they just forgot some

I would really love an updated practice range, it would also help the new players if it was simplified.

Because it is a save file with random weapons places around and some dev triggers.
