How has hit reg been for new season so far?
I haven't tried console yet this season, but pc has been pretty bad for hit reg. I was able to get 158 damage in one match, but one player who didn't even have a gun during the hot drop would not go...

@Asmodeus566 I hate to keep repeat posting, but I just had a very frustrating session playing this game. I did about 2 hours or pc and an hour on switch. One whole mag of the nemesis did damage in the 40s when I attacked someone from behind. I was fighting one person with a volt with a 1x attachment and the first 2 mags did no damage at all and went right through him, the 3rd mag did damage in the 20s. This is happening over and over to me and the Randoms and others I play with. Also, I usually get one shotted by people using the "apex beam" cheat that a youtube video exposed. (I won't post the video here, but I can send it in to the report page, it empties the whole mag of the gun in one shot and cancels all recoil whole aimbotting)
Cheaters don't bother me as much as the low damage/no hit reg does. You can still kill a cheater if you sneak up on them, so even if you were in a lobby where half the people were cheating there are still ways to get kills and outsmart them. However, if the guns won't do damage then you have no way to fight back at all.
I know it isn't internet because I've also been playing Fortnite, Farlight 84, Star Wars Hunters, Snowbreak, and Overwatch 2 and I don't have any issues with hit reg and those are similar (although inferior) fps games.
What could be causing me and other players in lobbies with me to get little to no damage despite shooting players? Is it really just MnK players having good games on pc this season?
I would appreciate any help because I'm so frustrated and you seem like the most knowledgeable person about apex. One player I play with is a live streamer so I'm going to try to see if he can get footage of what I'm talking about as well since maybe the problems will be more apparent if people can see it.
While I know the cheater issue is a serious problem threatening the game's continued success, I think this problem is even more serious since you can't fight back against anyone, including cheaters, if damage doesn't register.

So I must be one of the lucky ones to basically never have had to deal with hit reg issues. I have been playing one Mnk PC since the game came out and can say that I have not really been affected by this outside a handful of times.
The times that I had been affected were when I had internet issues like lag, high ping etc. and a bit before I got my new PC.
I wish I was as knowledgeable about Apex a you suggest. There are others here with a bit more knowledge than me @hayhor @E9ine_AC @OldTreeCreeper and our lovely Apex CM extraordinaire @EA_Mari to name a few.
I will say this though I do notice that when I play with my two close friends three stacking and we are in a grove damage output, kills and winning games increase. This is also the case when I get decent randoms to play with. When I get matched up with bad players, Hot drop Harry, Rambo, Rage quitters, and or complete noobs it affects my games negatively. This has however nothing to do with hit reg.
As far as cheaters go I do not see many of them anymore since I stay away from ranked play the first week of a split and the last week as well. I also do not play LTM's as much as I used to because they seem top be a magnet for cheaters and or super cracked players chasing shiny badges and the MM is pretty shady then. Same goes for TDM, Control and Gun Run, to many quitters cracked players and or cheaters I only use those modes to play 2-3 matches to warm up for Trio Pubs.
Just because your internet connection seems and feels fine does not mean it is. I use O2 and it could be just fine however the main trunk lines are owned by Telekom and they sometimes have issues that can affect me. With that in mind asking my ISP and they will say all is fine on there end but that Telkom is having issues and they can do nothing about it. I had no internet or phone for 3 days and O2 had to tell me that it will be back up once Telekom got there ...... together and fixed there own issue. So occasionally I will get a 1-2 game lag issue even though my internet is fine.
I could not say if there is an input issue that could be affecting you when you use controller on PC or if AA is affecting you since I have never ever used a roller on my PC. Strictly MnK player that I am.
I hope things get better for you in game.
I especially hope things get better IRL for you as well. Family comes first, so spend the time you have with them. I wish you and yours the best.
If you need some one to talk to, do it, friends, family, a coach can be good ways to do so.
Here in the community if you need anything you can DM me and I will help the best I can, even if it is just to be a good listener.
- @Asmodeus566 Thank you so much for the tips and thanks for the kind words. The good community we have here is what makes apex such a great game. Yeah, it has been rough lately, but the games, including apex, have been a great escape.
