Gameplay Feedback – Hit Registration & Weapon Balance

I’m submitting this feedback out of genuine frustration with the current state of hit registration and weapon balance.

At this point, this is the worst experience I’ve had in any shooter when it comes to bullet registration. Clear, well-placed shots simply are not registering consistently. Good aim feels disrespected every single match. You can visibly track targets, land multiple confirmed hits, and still lose fights due to inconsistent damage application.

The hit detection feels unreliable and delayed, especially in mid-to-long range engagements. It creates situations where mechanical skill does not feel rewarded, which is extremely discouraging in a competitive environment.

Weapon balance is also a major issue. SMGs currently feel god-tier at every range. They dominate close range as expected, but they are also outperforming DMRs at mid and even longer distances. A DMR, which should reward precision and positioning, feels severely underpowered. It often takes an unreasonable number of clean, confirmed hits to secure a kill compared to an SMG that can spray and delete opponents quickly.

This imbalance makes weapon choice feel irrelevant and discourages skilled, accurate playstyles. Precision weapons should reward accuracy. Right now, they feel punished instead.

Please prioritize:

  • Fixing hit registration consistency
  • Improving server-side damage reliability
  • Rebalancing SMGs vs DMRs at range
  • Ensuring precision weapons properly reward accurate aim

The core gameplay has potential, but hit registration and weapon balance must be addressed for the experience to feel competitive and fair.

  • Dude, this is the worst  triple A FPS I've ever played. Arc Raiders plays so much better. There is so much to like and dislike about this game. The controls feel wonky, aim assist doesn't, there's too many adjustments it's overwhelming to get the controls the way I'd want them. 

    Then there's the hit registration! OMG, it's like there's 2 games being played. The one where the enemies kill me in 6-10 bullets and then the game I'm playing, where it takes a full magazine, nearly every time, to kill a single enemy. Most times it's not registering 50% of the shots, even when they are dead on. I've got 30 video captures on my PS5 of this abomination in action. I feel dejected after every time I play. I used to believe in DICE, but this has shaken my confidence in your ability to make a game that works correctly. I'd love to send those videos to you DICE,  all you gotta do is ask!
