Say for a moment, all guns deal 20 damage each bullet, of course they don't, but lets pretend. Some days, it feels like its doing that, other days it feels like its dealing 18, while others it feels like its dealing 25+.The point is, for most of the time, when you're pitted against smurphs, cheaters, preds, and sweats, guns seem to be doing the low end damage. When you get shoved into a "bot lobby", where every single enemy is so incredibly voided of any kind of skill, suddenly guns are on the high end of damage.Often times as well, when you're on the "low end" feeling, a lot of bullets simply just no-reg. Not to mention that when you're on the low end of dealing damage, your enemies somehow can shred you with less bullets using any gun, even if its weaker and they shot you 3 seconds after you put a mag or so into them. With you being on the high end, enemies don't seem to do a lot of damage half the time. This honestly just feels flat out rigged.What gives?

probably because of the game garbage 20 hz server that couldn't track all the shots and sh*t happen at the same time. This problam is amplify especially against some tough target like Gibby and rampart's wall. sometimes I dump a whole R99 with blue mag into his body, even with purple armor he should be dead already but sometimes he is still standing which forces me to give him a punch or an "11" damage shotgun hit.

@KissYourHomieUwU I thought I was the only one who had that issue. Its sad that its happening to a lot of people and isn't being addressed.

@Midnight9746 yeah man.. today wasnt my day in the game.. I feel like aiming is also rigged.. when I shoot an entire blue Flatline mag (hipfire, enemy 1 - 1.5feet away ) and none of the bullets hits, I'm just done playing for the rest of the day. :')

@Midnight9746This is exactly what I have been experiencing, the lobbies just feel rigged depending on what skill level lobbies it’s currently putting you into... I think its server related but idk I just know some servers the enemys seem to be doing a full clip in literally 2 seconds when my gun takes like 5 seconds to do an entire clip

@TheApexLegendNub I don't know how when you peak out for 0.0001s, and someone breaks your armor and takes away half your HP with a gun like the R-99, even others like Wingman, Bow, etc. but when you hit them, "11 damage", or you deal somewhere within the 60 damage range, if lucky.

This feels like the game acts like its Star Wars, and its like trying to use blasters on a Jedi. Ever played Star Wars or seen the movies? They can just reflect bullets like its nothing and then just use the force on you, or flat out throw the lightsaber at you. Which it might as well be a lightsaber, since cover isn't "cover" anymore, due to the state of the servers and such.

Nope, whenever I trace like a god, I do godlike damage and whenever I mess up with the aim, I do little damage; its as simple as that.

And lets not pretend that you actually suggest that there is some "hidden" sabotage feature in this game that riggs the damage. How the hell would that work in the first place? Who does it select and how is it applied? And why does it only happen to you and not those "sweaty 4k/20 kills" that one clips you every game that people always complain abouton this forum? OH so its a conspiracy specifically targeting YOU?? Oh I see.. Sry for being sarcastic but try to take a step back and see this "theory" for what it is.
Nah I think the explanation is so simple here and @Midnight9746 is actually saying it in the OP:
"The point is, for most of the time, when you're pitted against smurphs, cheaters, preds, and sweats, guns seem to be doing the low end damage. When you get shoved into a "bot lobby", where every single enemy is so incredibly voided of any kind of skill, suddenly guns are on the high end of damage."
A good player knows how to 1) juke making him a much harder target to hit, and I am not only talking about big movements like duck strafe duck strafe but small twitches with the mouse and 2) aim that makes you get a lot of damage kicks which messes with your aim. Compare this to a "bot player". He will just stand there in front of you and probably miss most of his own shots which make you one clip him even without horizontal recoil compensation.
But please; prove me wrong and record some game sequences when your "aim is rigged" and we can have a discussion based on ACTUAL proof (but noone ever will becasue then it becomes real=

@Balladalidila Eh, tbh I said it feels like the damage itself is off. I have also seen blood splatter, heard the hit sound, but no damage was done, but that's simply no-reg and it isn't the main thing making damage feel off.

Ok maybe I misunderstood your point but it sounded like you suggested there is some code in the game that intentionally make your 11 dmg R99 body hit randomly (or rather NOT randomly) do "9" dmg for some malicious reason, this happening MORE in some games than others vs certain types of enemy players. It even sounded that you claim the game purposely cause you no-regs versus certain type of enemies in certain type of matches....
I am sorry if we disagree on this but I just find this type of claims so meaningless and actually harmful. There are many people out there who just look for things to blame and they will catch on to these kinds of things faster than you can imagine. Next you will see someone else post a thread "Ive heard the dmg is rigged" , an idea that originally came from you and you might think "wow so I am not alone. I knew I was right about that " and right there and then have an unproven "gut feeling" become fact.

I welcome all kind of evidence of this like video clips =)

@Balladalidila Honestly, I do miss a lot, I won't pretend I hit every shot. I'd be sure to clip the next time a mag doesn't seem like its doing the right kind of damage. Been times where I shot someone point blank, such as 4 times with an Eva, about 4 meters away, and the most it did was like 48-76 damage, despite that gun still being broken in damage. But, I'm sure somehow a lot of pellets just missed. In that moment, I thought "where is the damage?"

@Balladalidila And it is also just random when you open a legendary skin (for legends not guns) and suddenly everybody has that skin. 🤔 New accounts has heirloom at lvl ~300 me at lvl 500 and after that opened at least 40 pack and nothing xD
Strange.
