My Contributions

I was responsible for major improvements across the game’s weapon, combat, animation, and projectile systems, focusing on gameplay feel, reliability, and multiplayer correctness. My key contributions include:

• Weapon Firing & Reloading Systems: Implemented robust rechambering, reload resuming, empty-reload logic, and fixed numerous edge cases especially under high latency.

• Weapon Swapping & Animation Flow: Redesigned equip/unequip flow with timing scaling and recovery sections, fixed desyncs and visual issues, and ensured smooth ADS behavior during transitions.

• Projectile & VFX Systems: Corrected projectile spawn logic for players and NPCs, improved tracer accuracy, upgraded pooling behavior, and introduced Niagara Data Channel–based tracer support.

• Networking & Prediction: Resolved multiple client/server desync issues related to ammo, reloads, swaps, and client-prediction, significantly improving multiplayer consistency.

• Combat Interaction Polish: Improved ADS, sprint, slide, and dive interactions, re-enabled damage camera flinch, and ensured consistent firing behavior in complex movement scenarios.

• NPC Combat Reliability: Fixed projectile spawning, firing logic, and ammo synchronization for NPCs.

• Additional Systems: Re-implemented fall damage, improved grenade animation behavior, added debugging tools, and optimized weapon asset loading.

Overall, I delivered broad gameplay improvements that made the shooting, movement, and combat experience more responsive, stable, and visually consistent for both first-person and third-person perspectives.
