The TTK may be insanely long in Apex compared to other games (e.g., at least 2-3x longer compared to PubG), but it's still not THAT long. Killing full purple armor still takes <1 second with tier1 weapons.
R99 with no headshots kills in ~0.9 seconds (17 hits), R301 headshots only - <0.5 seconds (unrealistic tho), 2 shots of peacekeeper - ~1 second. 1 shot kill from Kraber or mastiff - 0 second (technically; although me and mastiff don't seem to get along too well (I feel lucky if I get a kill in 4 shots)). As for tier 2 weapons, Alternator bodyshots only - ~1.5 seconds. And the crap weapons - p2020 - 3 second.
If you're not killing in under 1 second - you're missing shots. If you miss enough shots to need a reload, well that's when you get into 3+ seconds territory...
A full purple mag of purple R99 is still <2 second (and you can miss almost half your shots and still get the kill with it). If you can't kill without needing a reload with that, well time to hit the training range or just switch to an easier weapon (I just stop using R99 and just go with the ez pz R301, when I'm failing with R99 or Wingman too much).
many a time I have laid full purple mags of r99 and 301 into the chest of many a enemy with no drop. with and without them wearing purple armor. then me. wearing full level 3 gear I get dropped in what looks like a short burst of fire. it alll leads me to believe there is desync and not all my shots are registering
You miss. It's that simple (I mean, you can even see the damage numbers, if you have them turned on, so there's no mystery or question whether you hit or miss). Could be due to your opponent's awesome movement (it's not a trivial task to perfectly track an erratically strafing slim opponent), could be due to your non-existent recoil control. Recoil may be low in this game, but you still have to be on point to not miss a shot. Ez pz against a target dummy, much different story against a moving target under pressure. From experience I can say that if my 1st bullet of R99 doesn't hit, I just put more than half of my mag to thin air before I fix my aim. And then the weird horizontal recoil comes and I miss the other half due to not being able to control it (too focused on trying to actually aim on point). End up doing 20 damage to the enemy and >400 dmg to the objects/air around him...
This is nonsense and getting very ridiculous...having purple armour and either purple or gold helmet and decent loadout...fps is 60 and latency is low....i can rack up 5 to 6 kills easy...shots on target and control recoil....some fights feel like a fair fight...trading damage...be a little damage or ally and still having time to react and heal shields etc before getting back into the fight....then you come across another player that 1 taps you instantly knocking you while your spraying him...then killing you instantly 1 shot bang when you put your knock down shield up facing him....how is that even possible....someone to just 1 tap you when you have full purp and gold helmet...no kraber btw....my screen shows bang down instantly...but according to death cap 9 hits no head shots with r99...no lag no latency issues and full 60 fps still...can you explain this how on earth that player just one tapped me and even times dropped me instantly before they have even fired their weapon? Also continuously being shot and taking damage after I have reacted run away and taken cover...still getting hit??? Like I said some players it feels like a fair gun fight...and other times they just instantly drop you in 0.1 second no matter what strong body shield you have on...i honestly think there are hacks in use here...players using hacks to increase weapon damage...giving themselves less damage received....and also some kind of hack on purposely making players miss shots...unable to aim on them or not being able to move cursor x camera over them without it bouncing all over the screen...many times this has happened to me and strange as it my seem...its always been a ps player that I've had to report...and the teaming that occurs aswell between ps players that xbox players are unable to report them for teaming because it only gives us 4 options to choose from...1.aim snapping to targets...2. Ammo or recoil unusual..3.moving in impossible ways and 4. Shots hitting you without line of sight...there is no option for them teaming...it pretty much sums it up about ps players cheating...playstation needs to ban it's hackers just like xbox does...apex needs to sort out it's strange wrong death caps...and ban these cheaters that just go around 1 tapping everyone...in fact do this redrawn.. ..remove all aim assist all together including the silly melee aim assist aswell and force people to actually get good at the game with there aiming...the way it should be played...like every first person shooter
Thats someone from the other side of the planet choosing to play on your region with 2-300ms latency
