Alright EA, explain!

I was just on the new map on breakthrough. I was using the M-1014 shotgun with slugs. I got behind them and pumped 4 rounds into 4 players backs at <10M and NOT ONE KILL! They turn on me and I'm instantly dead. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GARBAGE!? I got 4 hit markers... why was there no kills? Other times I can 1 shot someone at further ranges and here NOT ONE KILL!

I want you to explain.... Is there Skill based balance mechanics in your game? Is this "hit registration?" Shouldn't be, I got hit markers! Is this a latency thing? I don't know who I hit to check their ping, but if I got hit markers @ <10M with that shotgun with slugs WHY, did I not get kills? I have a GIG connection on fiber, my latency is usually <20ms. That does not make up for the fact this is a 1 shot weapon at close range, except this time!

I want an answer! This is why players are quitting! They shoot people and nothing happens. Hits that should be kills are not! If this is some kind of logic in the game, it is the most idiotic thing in a so called "competitive FPS!"

FYI I am on PC, over  700hrs playtime. I have seen this issue since launch, especially with shotguns. However, not like this time! That map is perfect for shotgun play and I can't even get 4 point blank IN THE BACK kills! I am beyond mad! You could not serve up a more perfect opportunity!

    Just left a batch of conquest games where i was on a tear. 16 and 4 then the hit detection just stopped working. Clipped a vid showing where hit detection just stopped mid slay and I died. I didn't even notice that until I counted the shots, 9 hits before the hit detection stopped with the DRS-IAR from ~10-12 meters. I died.

    Got into a roller lobby I must have turned on my bullet magnet and loaded nerf rounds. 🎮 = bullet sponge.

  • For me since the recent update its the same with snipers I'm hitting 50-62s with PSR when it should be 80+  Its like its swapped with the Mini-scout damage numbers.

  • Yea, something got broke with shotguns recently.  I landed a 7 damage headshot on a guy at about 15m.  14 damage body shots at about 20.  Then, I'll land a 47 damage body shot at about 80m.  All using slugs.

    I think they were testing different damage models in LABS or something and the change accidentally made it into the regular game.  It wouldn't be the first time this has happened.
