The Reticle is a Lie

I’ve been playing SWAT. I play it regularly actually, and I was wondering if I have to shoot at a persons chest to get a headshot. The reticle is a god-damn lie. It goes red, I pull the trigger, zero hits and I’m dead. But if I whip my damn aiming around like a lunatic… I also miss. The only time I get hits in SWAT is when the reticle is blue. The reticle going red on my account means I’ve got a 100% chance to -Yoink- this up somehow. Also there was this one game I finally seemed to get the bullet magnetism that actually assists from my enemies one game and I demolished the opposition. Then I went back to having a reversed bullet magnetism that avoids hitting anything.

TL;DR
Why do I miss when my reticle goes red?

If what you’re experiencing is actually real and not just a cover-up for bad aiming skills, it sounds like you have a serious connection issue

Yes. Either you move at the last second and the reticle turns blue, or you have horrible connection.

I’ve been hearing that Region lock is off and that may be the problem. I still would expect to be teleporting though, not missing correctly aimed shots.

I don’t have any. I was mostly wondering if anyone else has this problem. If my reticle turns red when aiming at someone, at least the first shot should get a hit, but I get none.

There are times where my aim is even locked onto their head from aim assist and I would still miss all three shots.

Stuff like this has happened to me in swat but its usually in Swatnums where face shots give me hit markers but if i shoot slightly above their head its a one shot kill.

red reticle on head= shouler/chest shot, aim slightly up above the forhead

Ok, thanks for the tip. That happens to me a lot as well.

You are experiencing latency issues as a direct consequence of region lock being turned off. The game is now officially broken again.

First the cake, now the reticles? Goddammit video games!!!
