I will be the first to admit I don’t play as much as I use to so I know my aim isn’t as good as it once was; however, its never really been a struggle for me to be able to get kills when needed. Now I’m not sure if I’m experiencing extreme desync, lag, bad connection or whatever but I just played two matches and had a total of ONE kill between the two and it wasn’t just from my aim. For some reason it seems like I was instantly dying any time I came across an enemy. On my screen it was only registering like 2-3 bullets hitting me and boom I’m dead. Has anyone else run into this issue where its registering you have only been hit 2-3 times then instantly dying. In the first match I literally was two-shotted with a pistol, full shields and the guy goes boom boom and I’m dead. Another strange thing I noticed is that I was in quick play on aquarius playing land grab and one guy on the enemy team had a shock rifle…when was a shock added to aquarius quick play or am I just losing my mind?
The shock rifle can spawn there but it has a really low chance and it can only spawn if the skewer is the sniper that spawned not the S7.
I think you’d have to post some game clips. The pistol kills so fast in this game that someone skilled with it can kill you in a flash. If a nade starts off the encounter then fights are over that much quicker. It really is frustrating how low TTK the AR-pistol start combo is.
I heard too some PC players use their scroll button to shoot. Since the pistol almost no limit to the speed you can shoot it using the scroll as your shoot is really overpowered.
I’ve had this happen as well and I attributed it to lag maybe? I’ve been full shield and had someone run up on me with a pistol and I’m like two shots that I can see bang dead which makes zero sense. It might be worth checking out your theater to look at the kill in question and use the other guys point of view. Maybe you’re seeing one or two shots and he’s seeing seven on his screen. I have no idea but it happens to me sometimes and with the weapons their using it’s not even possible to get one or two shot kills so something is up
Yea, I haven’t taken the time yet to go back through Theater but it feels like I’m not getting all the information on my end as to how many times I’m being hit. Like you said they could have already shot me like seven other times but on my end it will literally register 2-3 hits and boom I’m dead, I don’t even have enough time to throw a nade or even go for cover, I’m just instantly cooked. I did back out of the quick play lobby after those two awful games and went into social skirmish and it got better to where I wasn’t instantly dying but wow does this game have issues where stuff like that can randomly happen.
Happens off and on to me. I attribute it to whether or not the servers like me or not that game.
Half the time I really struggle to enjoy the game because it feels like my grenades do no damage, melee lands but does no damage, guns jamb, shots hit but do no damage, rockets and grenades literally disappearing, enemy lunge distance is 2x what it should be, I get hit behind walls, grenades seem to bounce down a corridor, around a corner or two, and all the way to grandma’s house before detonating right at my feet killing me instantly while at full health, I get killed by what is ~half the damage/shots from various weapons (2 shot killed by stalker yesterday).
That’s a long list, but feels like I’m just scratching the surface with my frustrations without even getting into progression and customization.
When the game isn’t doing these things, goodness gracious it is a good time.
I have that happen and I think it’s desync or lag or whatever. Basically you died on the server but your screen doesn’t show it yet, then it seems like your body gets slammed down quicker than normal when you catch up with the server. That’s my weird theory anyway.
It could be lag honestly. Maybe the game is disconnecting a little and your opponents can see you walking in a straight line. Then when the game catches up, you’ve been killed but from your perspective it looks like you died from nothing.
It has a firing cap.
I must be really high then since it always seems the pistol can shoot automatic.
Ain’t never seen somebody post a video where it’s firing about that cap. Do show me?
Insta kills are a part of the game play for me, and very frustrating. When I die from the Needler, there is no animation, I don’t see the needles, I just Insta die, it is so obviously out of sync from my perspective, and it happens with many weapons in the game.
Sometimes I can feel the game go out of sync so I stay out of reach from opponents, until I think is back to normal, but the maps are small, so it’s difficult.
Try to turn on network statistics in game settings and check it out.
Yeah, it happens to me too sometimes. My theory is that because of lag, latency or whatever the game doesnt show that you’re being shot at until a second or 2 after, when its too late and you’re about to die.
Its definitely frustrating. I have had numerous instances before some of my intsa deaths where like I said it will register 2-3 shots on my end and Ill hit the button to throw a nade and it won’t even go out. I assume this is because in the server I am already dead but it just hasn’t registered on my end yet. The lag or whatever it is is extremely frustrating, I mean I was in a 30 ping game yesterday and was getting packet loss flashing across my screen…how does that even happen?
