Damage numbers and how they work
Hello! I started playing Apex Legends 2 days ago, and i've noticed im having issue understanding the damage values and armor. So i've noticed that i can spray down an opponent while the damage numb...

@ImSnowflakee, okay first I'll ask what kind of dmg indicator settings you have as you can have 4. I don't know the name but you have one that shows individual dmg numbers, one that just adds up how much dmg you have done on that target (on by default), one that shows both individual and the adding up one and no dmg numbers.
Either, from your msg, if you saw 45, 45... then it's individual numbers if it wasn't a fast firing/auto weapon. In that case I have no idea why that person didn't die yet. But look at your settings and see if it's really on individual.
If those weren't the actual numbers that happend, it will likely be on sequential numbering for amount of dmg done. That way you can see how much dmg you've done. A buddy of mine sprayed a dude with lvl 3 armor with a fully auto prowler. Other guy had like 13hp left... it's preposterous sometimes how much you have to shoot someone.
Sometimes you kill fast, sometimes you dont. If I for instance if you have lvl 3/4 armor but no helmet or a normal helmet and I fire headshots at you with a wingman with the skullcrusher popup, it can almost look as if you died instantly. Same with a prowler from close range. Same with every strong weapon. I have downed some ppl so fast with weapons that I kept shooting cause I didn't even realise they were down.
Headshots do alot of dmg and you don't even see it coming sometimes

I have the individual on, i checked the settings after it happened and even my friends thought it was weird. Also the enemy dude had just survived my Gibraltar ult aswell, so had hit him once with that, and was facing away from me when i spray'd him. The armor text was blue aswell so i figured he had a lvl 2 armor set.
Also i had the helmet on, lvl 2 one, so no clue if he just got lucky when he rushed and jumped me.
I just came out of another game though, where i had lvl 3 armor and helmet, and used a flatline. My teammates had died and i was underneath one of the buildings in the water, and healed up. Enemy Caustic saw me go down there, and came creeping in just as i was done healing. I saw him through the cracks and started prefireing him as soon as he rounded the corner to where i was. I even hit him 3-4 times before he even begun shooting (Think he had an assault rifle aswell). After spraying him down and dmg numbers were all over my screen, i just died, and went straight to spectator mode to see how much hp he had left. He had about 60% remaining. he also had lvl 3 armor as it seemed, since i got the purple dmg marks.
