Game not fit for purpose
Finally remembered why not to come back to this. Getting gunned down immediately whilst enemies absorb 5 full magazines. Getting erased immediately from sniper range by non recoil ARs. I even kille...

@1ronKeys You obviously have an aiming problem where you seem to think that aiming on target then shooting is enough to hit them. Nope the enemy is a moving target the time it takes for your trigger and bullet to travel is enough to miss a moving target.
Go in the firing range and set the dolls as moving you will need that training.
Look at pros... when there is a distance between them and the enemy they shoot a little in front of him so that his movement and bullet travel time can result in a hit. Pros are live right now in ALGS.
We need to see the videos of you not downing opponent with 3 mags we could then easily point to your problems. If you don't down them with 1 mag it means you miss a lot of shots!! If the problem was the game then pros would miss too. The problem is obviously you who miscalculate how to hit a moving target.

@Palette24carats No, I do not have this issue; as expressed. Usually I have been wiping and slapping enemies.
And similarly, as others have experienced, there have been times when enemies are being downed almost immediately half a mag of an smg or weaker when full shields.
This has nothing to do with aim (or very very little) as I'm quite aware when I'm shooting poorly - in those cases I get annoyed, but at myself.
In times when I'm point blank drilling a whole magazine into a stationary opponent then continue to riddle them with another mag or two before getting downed after two hits - with this happening I know something is amiss (and it's not my shots) - as expressed I experienced this before in Battlefront (another EA title unsurprisingly) where I drilled a whole assault rifle magazine into the back of an enemies head - their health went down half way. Then completely stopped going down; yep hits and hit animations but their health bar did not reduce. And they then turned around and downed me in two shots.
Something entirely suspicious is going on there, whatever it is. Whether it's the game... eas servers... or whatever else. That behaviour is what I'm experiencing now.
I usually getting 3 - 6 kills a game pretty frequently. For the past week I've been getting 5 kills every 20 games.
White shield enemies aren't even getting downed with 3 rattlings of an r99 from close range.
I would love for it to be an issue with my aim; as it means there's something I can do about it. However. Its not. I'm hitting the shots.

I assure you the problem is on your side as we dont have that problem but just a tiny minority of players.
Can I watch you play? Ill take a look at your twitch.
- @Palette24carats I don't have twitch
- @1ronKeys it takes a minute to get an account you should do it. I created a twitch account for that single reason to be able to rewatch my plays to learn how I could improve and have a different views on the plays and think about what was best for me to do in those situations where it didnt go well. That is also a moment where I noticed I really needed to train my aim as I was missing way too many shots.
One of the most useful tool to improve is cast yourself on twitch. Also it is motivating to have a few wins saved to rewatch. - @Palette24carats Well my PlayStation failed to capture my win last night... my team members quit along the way and I held tight when down to 4 squads and pounced on the final team... one was downed, the other looting I downed with G7 and had to bridge the gap to a bocek wielding oppo Ash (I Ash too) and won with some clever manoeuvring and re45 work.
So does twitch just record your game? Concerned how it may impact performance re internet and console having to do extra work. - @Palette24carats Agree with the twitch idea. PS makes it really easy to save an hours worth of game play too.
- @1ronKeys Yes everything you send as live on twitch is recorded for up to 3 weeks I believe if you are not affiliate. Then you have the option to publish those live or not.
With those live recorded you can create highlight moments by croping video parts in Studio and then those will be recorded like forever on your twitch channel.
For performance it depends if you are ps4 or ps5. On ps4 you might lose like 5 fps and increase ping a tiny bit but it is playable the difference is not game changing I believe.
On ps5 you wont even see or feel a difference as we are still with the old gen version stuck at 60 fps. When at 120 hz tuesday we might lose a few fps but wont feel it at all as we will be way higher in fps . - @Palette24carats Thanks for the insight! I might consider that then - as that would provide a much better alternative than stuffing my ps drive full of clips and having the hassle of uploading.
As for the issues I'm having with the game, introducing any further ping does make me wary! - @1ronKeys Yeah but dont worry about it you can broadcast as little as you want lets say you broadcast for 1 hour and feel like you are having lag or bad games go back to no twitch anytime .
@Palette24caratsthen explain to me how i get mowed down by a not moving target me shooting first all on point and my opponent manages to one clip me before my mag is even half empty with literally the same weapon ?
This is clearly some stuff happening on the server netcode, i wont say its on intention, since i cant prove it.
But clearly some bug that penalizes players in favor of others, bcs my connection is fine.
Pingplotter tests tell me my connection to the gameserver is fine (6to50ms max depending where i get send to), no loss, no late packets no huge jitter (around 4ms mostly) , performance display ingame also tells no weird stuff happening. This leaves only one conclusion , the gameserver doing some wild magic ... but devs will brush it off as a clients internet problem ... bcs their code is "unfailable" nor has it some nefarious lines included.- @r1ggedgame Nope, headshots. Its all in the kill feed and it also depends on the gun's firerate. An re45 will beat a rampage by speed but a rampage can beat an re45 with headshots
- @Palette24carats who said it was headshots ? and i told you literally the same weapon (301)
- @r1ggedgame There is no ther way... bullet registering works perfectly. It is shown on the kill feed it is either headshots or he moved and you missed shots. Also did he have purple or red shield while you had white or blue? Also was your health full?
I never ever witness a problem with this but the other day I caught an aimbot cheater on console his aim was perfectly tracking the player even tough he coulndt predict his next movement. - @r1ggedgame Show me a video I can help you understand. Do a 1 hour or less twitch stream then I can look how you shoot.
@Palette24caratsdude, i play network-shooters since over 30 years , i know when something behaves not the way it should. and i have 40K+ matches in Apex and can tell you somethings off since season 18 especially. i dont need someone to look at some stream. and read my post right, his bullets flew faster than mine, my default mag wasnt even half empty and the hitcount told me i hit him first and you cannot 1 clip somebody in the time half a default mag needs to unload especially if its the same weapon and no headshots, the other guy has to react on me since i had him in focus 1st , so he has to turn, aim and shoot faster with the same weapon which is not possible.
- @r1ggedgame Lets say your are right about your skills and aim... still it is never a network issue the PC platforms are riddled with cheats it could be a rapid fire cheat I used to get killed by that even on console it came with strikepacks.
Go watch pros playing you will see the bullets do register correctly when you aim for a hit.
You still could provide the kill feed so we can judge from headshots and everything. also , people teaming up with me experiencing the same things , so can hardly be my connection when the other guy is from spain or sweden or wherever and has the same issues.
its not every match but very very often, which also doesnt speak for network problems on my end.
interruptions in the connection would show on my end with a warning sign , not being able to change weapons, shoot and other interaction stuff, would result in rubberbanding to the last servers know position ect.
Random mate that could not even do 100 dmg the game i played with him , perfectly 1 clipping me the next match while i crouch slide around around him/ being behind a cover , so not really an easy target , gimme a break ?!?
