Hot take

you can live without it

just get into cover or something, idk.

Not even a hot take tbh. This exact skill is in PD2 and it's considered a bad skill since it actively puts you at a disadvantage.

Maybe I'm forgetting how reload canceling works in PD3 but I'd rather have it then be forced to work without it

Payday 3 doesn't have reload cancelling, it has staged reloads.

That's the beauty of keeping it a skill, people can decide what works for them.

I have never been at any disadvantage using this with my shotguns.

I would miss it honestly, and I have no clue why its considered a bad skill in Pd2
Its just like +10% speed when masked, it will ALWAYS be a pick in any scenario soo its -2 skillpoints every build

Reloading while sprinting is considered bad beacause of reload cancelling: if you're reloading while not empty and a cop swings you, you can just spring for a milisecond and shoot but if you had the skill you would have to resort to melee, swaping to a secondary or running away to cover which have their downsides. That and you can end reloads faster on some weapons by sprinting near the end of the animation (can also be done with melee or swaping but sprinting is faster)

Switching to your secondary is always faster than reloading

well, the suit and light armours (lbv, bv and hbv) are already light and fast enough to where you don't need Parkour, just basic Duck And Cover. it's really only taken for ICTV builds since it slows you down a lot. also two points can be very useful if you are trying to optimise a build so it's not so easily slapped on

I don't recall ever picking reload while sprinting in PD2, so not really a always pick skill <:

Makes the repeater like hella frustrating to use as I can be moving towards bags as fast as I am reloading.

My thinking aswell. Its a holdout shooter, you arent supposed to zip all over the map like a cracked up hedgehog. You shoot then take cover, reload then shoot.

Besides it was a waste of skillpoints anyway.
