Im getting sick of the low damage problem

Question

I play the game everyday, and it is getting very frustrating having a group of players do 10x the damage with the exact same guns doing the exact same shots. During a gun run one person one shotted me with a shot that did 252 damage. The same gun (a sniper rifle) does nowhere near that for me or my teammates.

In kill cam footage every shot is in the mid 50s at the lowest, yet I have not seen one gun this season hit for anything above the 20s, it's most often 18, and guns like the peacekeeper never do over 9, but when an advantage player shoots it it's a one shot kill, I forget the exact number.

I was shooting at an Alter that wasn't paying attention. I hit her from behind with clear headshots that she just absorbed and the turned around and hit me once (she had the same gun at the start of gun run) and killed me. This is getting ridiculous.

I know they know this is a problem after taking the survey, so I'm wondering, are there any plans at all to fix this? Also, this issue is not just on switch and pc, I know 2 people that play on PS5 having the exact same problems, and they also say it started season 20.

Also, shooting through crates is still a problem and it needs to be corrected since it's hard to take cover.

If people say this is network, syncing, or server issues then the company that makes the game should fix it since no other game also has this issue. I have played Star Wars Hunters and Overwatch, and the one of the other players I mentioned earlier on PS5 plays Call of Duty and Fortnite, and none of these games have the same issue so I know it's not on the player side.

Please make the game fair for everyone if any devs are reading this because it is not fair for all players giving just one group of players an advantage over others. The new season is just 8 days away, now would be a good time to fix this problem the same way the battle pass problem was fixed.

@AymCTLNot sure what to say here. I've heard lately of cheats where people auto heal without having to use cans or launch into an animation. That could be part of it. Obviously server issues could be a thing, but it seems to me that would affect everyone equally, not favoring some players over others.The closest thing I have to this experience is where in some matches I shoot my tripletake and achieve my standard high accuracy. In other matches I start shooting the same gun over the same range and nothing connects at all. At which point I usually quit and re-queue. I'm not saying it's a network thing. It could just be me. But I can't understand why one match will be flawless and the next will be unplayable when I'm pretty sure that my own performance is a near-constant in the equation.

I see what you mean, I had the same issue with the triple take a couple days ago when I got one on the hot drop and the shots went right through anyone I shot at.&nbsp; The pre season 20 triple take would do a powerful shot even without aiming, you could just hipfire it and do huge damage,&nbsp; now the shots don't even register.&nbsp; &nbsp;I did manage to do damage in the 50s once with it this season, but I was shocked when that happened.&nbsp; It's one reason I try to stick to the automatic weapons now, they still have problems registering, but you can at least crack someone who has already been fired on.
