Notes[]
- The heavy skill also affects movement speed while crouching with very damaged legs when holding a heavy weapon. Normally, movement speed when crouching is 96 at full health and 76 with very damaged legs. However, when holding a heavy weapon at the untrained/trained level, movement speed when crouching with very damaged legs is 96 rather than 76. At the advanced/master level, movement speed in the same situation is at the normal value of 76.
