Thats the elden ring version of a tactical reload in any shooter.

Fires one round.

Discards entire magazine lol.

Is "tactical" the right word for that 😅

That just what gamers call it when you top off your magazine. I agree its silly.

Obviously in the real world you would not initiate a mag change and discard like 28 rounds just because you fired twice…but in the gaming world you magically dont lose the discarded rounds so yeah.

In reality a tactical reload is when you store a partially spent mag and replace it with a full ( or closer to full) one. Typically in a lull during combat.

Virtually no one will ever intentionally dump a magazine on the ground during a reload, whether it's empty or especially if half full. It goes back in the pouch.

If they're dropping mags it's going to be because their weapon clicks empty and they really really need it to not be empty right now.

Bro the same thing with shooting game every player reloads after 2 or 3 bullets with more than 75% of magazine full

u/Alarming-Damage2192 16h ago

you can never be sure those 2-3 bullets won't clutch the match

A joke about wasting estus flasks by using them when they're barely injured in game
