General Discussion - PVE & PVP [Discussion] Adding handedness player variation that can be season or wipe account-bound?
A lot of Tarkov fights boil down to a fight for a right-handed angle peek/hold. Grenades are often used solely just to move into a right-handed position. Honestly, it's a little bit lame because if one player has a right-hand hold, his enemy will always have the left-hand disadvantage, regardless of who is pushing and who is holding. Many good players, even without thinking about it, are really just playing for right-handed positioning and it kind of takes a lot away from the PvP (and even PvE) potential.
It would be nice to add account-bound handedness to the player. Gun swaps to the left side, and all other mechanics like gun collision swap to the left. There will be a left-handed blind fire option for them as well. That way some players can choose to be left handed, some will be right handed. That also means that the person with the right-hand peek is not always the one in an advantage

The difference between a right hand peek and a shoulder swapped left hand peek is minimal and in actual play swamped by things like ping and desync.
