new split and wingman is useless now

how can it be that the wingman shoots are flying through the target without getting a now, this happens so often and makes the wingman useless to play now.

the enemy just sat in the corner without moving, ill give him 4 shots on the head and it didnt count a single shot so wtf

  • @Zynreal This is actually one of the reasons why I don't like using the Wingman. I mostly play in pubs so it does happen there as well.

    A well placed shot can result in one of the three following scenarios:

    - it registers the hit and you deal damage
    - it registers the hit but you don't get the damage (the "no-reg")
    - it doesn't even register the hit but you did shoot at the target

    Luckily the first one happens the vast majority of the time. The third one really grinds my gears. Sometimes there is really 0% chance I missed but it still doesn't count (and yes, I record and check some of these moments). I lost a few crucial fights that way (close range, ADS, right in the middle of the enemies hitbox...).
  • @Solim66 i said this so often but many ppls didnt belive this. its just a server issue with the damn hitreg

    @Solim66this video actually was a revelation for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnuxLxQdin0

    I guess Apex and especially Wingman is working similarly to this just worse given the experience and refinement, server speeds, etc. of Apex vs CS GO.

    Yesterday had a game where I hip-fired wingman onto Horizon jumping in <10m distance from me - missed all 3 shots. Watching the demo I saw that the game decided to put the first shot way off in the top left corner, the second shot based on the visuals just flew below a person's legs while jumping - actually pulled Matrix on me there - and the third shot was no-reg, potentially game registring me being knocked because that's what happened moments later as Horizon kept hitting her shots.

    Coinflip unless you ADS, minor coinflip if you do 🙂 That's why I opt playing Gibby and ADSing all the time with all weapons :D

    You know, I get so tired of seeing that typical response..."oh your aim is off , cause mine works fine".

    That's just an arrogant and ignorant response. You brush anyone else concerns away just like that, because you don't experience 

    the same issue. I happen to agree with that person 100%. I cant count how many times I've tried to use a wingman or a Longbow and

    constantly watch shots literally go right through  people and get no registered hits. Same with the totally nerfed Eva . Shot after shot not 

    registering, and before anyone starts beaking off with half azzzzed remarks, I actually record and analyze to make sure I'm not just seeing things. 

    I have plenty of videos that show it, but truth be known, no one gives a crap.

    As long as it don't happen to them, it doesn't happen at all...such utter nonsense and close mindedness. 

    So typical of the world we live in today.

    @Wargasmatron Rule of thumb here is.. If it is a server/gun issue it would be wide spread. It would not be there for some and not others. Same with server lag and more. If it was the actual server then everyone would experience the same results.
