@EloquentPlatypus- I agree with what @Tinogiggedy wrote. I play the Heavy mostly but don't use the shield. I use explosive shot and have had multiple hits on players from close range (not good with explosive shot as you also take some damage) without seemingly getting the kill. Watch your hud after you get killed. It will flash up Kill assist, player damaged or player killed. I have noticed this without seeing the player actually fall. In one of the few times I have used specialist, I remember having a clear, unhindered shot at a player on Jakku,. Tried 6 times but couldn't kill him but my next shot at someone else was a kill. Couldn't figure it out, maybe a Hacker?
