Instant death

Anyone notice the game playing different since the patch, I’m literally dying every five seconds and was never like this before.

@OzzLinkyep, me too. It is like everyone is wearing armor and a helmet.

I was using the PBX-45 and it took 10 rounds to kill a guy, all hits from fairly close range. Then right after that, I am hit, then instantly dead without any chance to react to the enemy fire.

They really need to consider tuning all the TTK down to the point where the fastest weapon is not killing faster than the server can update (server tick rate). Right now too many weapons exceed that threshold. With lag comp and aim assist, the server is predicting deaths instead of waiting for the truth data to come in from both sources.
That's the story of my life at the moment, and you are right they need to sort the time to kill asap as it is completely destroying the game.

@RayD_O1 Yep it is killing the game. It is simple logic and math. You can't have movement speeds and TTK that exceeds server tick rate + player ping. Until that is resolved most players will experience this. Go play BF1 or BF5, they feel like completely different game franchises compared to 2042 just based on the netcode alone.

Lucky! Only since the patch?
It wouldn't be a proper match if 75% of my deaths didn't occur within 3 seconds of spawning since day 1.
And you are not alone with this of course.
Reason why so many players unfortunately left playing this game, as its simply non-stop too frustrating versus the limited joy it brings...
...hence one of the main reasons why I prefer PvE in ALL shooters, for many years now.

I tallied my deaths for a week and here is what I found. Mind you I believe this to be the nature of the game, not a programming issue.
11% of my deaths were equal challenge.
35% were just bad luck. i.e. Turn the corner and run into death waiting, nothing one could do
18% shot in the back (I included Lis deaths when she has already shot her missile and she was killed guiding it)
28% spawn camping Serious issue in Rush and Breakthrough
08% Redeploy (change specialists, loadout etc)
So when you add this up, 81% of my deaths, I really had no shot in avoiding. That is the nature of the game and war frankly.
I did have one spawn death that was not camped. I spawned inside a tornado. LOL
