Educate me on Quickscoping

So a hotfix is going live tomorrow and Bungie says it's going to fix a bug that allows quickscoping on some weapons. I youtube'd some videos of quickscoping and it just looks like some guys are REEEAAALLLYYY good at shooting with a sniper rifle. Is the bug that the gun automatically centers on a target or something? Why is this something that Bungie wants to eliminate? Is there an unfair advantage? I totally understand how it would be frustrating to be on the receiving end of a quickscoper, but why is it being eliminated? Thanks for your help, DoDs! flyboydrury09

  • When you quick scope, you line up the shot and tap the trigger to aim down sights, but fire before it's actually finished transitioning to the aimed view. Thus you get the advantage of the higher accuracy the game grants to a scoped shot, without the loss of situational awareness. I just saw the patch notes as well and I assume they're just making sure you don't get the improved accuracy until the gun has fully switched to the scoped view.
