Damage numbers and how they work

@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
