@1ronKeysmight not be a cheat at all, but the server simply overloaded sending out the combined hits in "one" packet.
The opponent might have hit you before you even get a notice bcs the server simply forgot or dropped those packets, so the info arrives at your pc all at once. this will result in you getting the impression that you got mowed down in a speed thats is physically impossible to replicate with that type of weapon.
You can experience this since the start of Apex and the issue is imho likely being found in the netcode combined with the server load/bandwidth.
This would also explain a lot of sound effects missing like opponents footsteps, devo/havoc spinning up ect. , that info simply just didnt get relayed to you in time.
@r1ggedgame Great response thanks!
- @1ronKeys i forgot to mention : can be also your firewallsettings preventing those packets getting to you, since strict firewall rules might only relay packets that got initiated from your pc as an answer but no packets that have their origin with the server.
Thats why its recommended to have a portforwarding set up that suits the games needs.
In times with IPv4 Shortage this gets near to impossible to be solved on your end, if you got a "Dual Stack Lite" connection from your provider.
Thats why i cant understand why game developers still rely on IPv4 in favor of IPv6 ...
