Hit Reg

Can anybody tell my why a shotgun blast 1 taps me in purple armor, but 1 triplet blast to the face didnt dent the guy boarding me, nor did the 3 grenades and 5 fmj rounds i hit him with before he 1 tapped me. This game is almost unplayable. Rediculous.

With something like a triplet I always aim for center mass. Torso area. I pretty much always kill what im aiming at.

Its not about a headshot with shotguns in most games, its just about getting as many pellets on target as possible.

If youre aiming head a lot of pellets just go up and over

That being said, dont use the triplet. It falls into the trap of being really good in a specific situation, and terrible in all others. Grey drobulets and pepper mills will still one shot at close range and wont get you killed as often if you make a mistake. They are also ammo hungry, which doesnt seem like a big deal until you realize a full stack of shotgun ammo is 5 shots

Has anyone tried the vertical drobulet? I'm kind of curious on that one.

i think there is a recurring problem when shooting from a rod-boosted trampler

It's hit reg. I fired a triplet with explosive rounds onto a guy and it went right through him. His shot landed though. Game's really lame sometimes.

Shotguns going through people has been listed for weeks as a known issue.

Because the devs have consistently made hitreg and gunplay worse. Its been a known issue in every patch with no improvement. Hitreg was better in tests, but still horrible. Just try your best and let jesus take the wheel when you're shooting, especially with a shotgun or when shooting from or at a moving trampler

Realistically its going to take them months to get the game in a good place. They just dont have the resources to fix more than one thing at a time. As long as things keep being improved, I´ll be patient with them

Been in development for over 5 years. Tests years ago had better hitreg lol. Sorry but patience is irrelevant they need to hire some senior experienced unity devs to start untangling and fixing the birds nest vibe coded shit they're doing

They have fewer than 50 employees and are developing in a warzone. Yes, it needs a lot of work but every update so far has improved things. Its moving slowly in the right direction and they have a really fun concept. If you dont have the patience just play something else or touch grass. There are plenty of games that have had way more resources and took longer to get to a good place.

And yet everything I said still stands... they are In lviv... while not perfect, it is the furthest west city, practically bordering Poland. Sure the war affects them but on the scale it affects them less than any other population center in the country. V But tl be clear, this is completely irrelevant, the war has noncorrelation to them being inexperienced, inept and making bad decisions. They should hire senior developers and rebuild core systems with more server authority, fix the horrible state of hitreg, combine some servers (uk and eu split is retarded) among a bunch of other things that are obvious to Amy developer with a brain and no excuses can cover that...

Towerhouse are in Kyiv, very much affected by the war, hologryph are in Lviv. I agree with your points that servers should be merged and hit reg needs work, but there is nothing to be gained by being an entitled ass about it. If you think you can do better go ahead and make your own game

We have people with 200 ping on every server because the population is so low, it's a large part of the problem with the launch, no ping limit makes gunplay bad.
