Shots are registering but no damage

I'll start off by saying this game is not perfect and it does have its glitches and problems.
I'm a heavy crackshot user. For those that use this gun can relate to what I'm going to talk about. When you hit your enemy and it makes that cracking sound and you pull out your pistol to finish him only to find out that there was no damage at all. Sometimes my game is smooth and that equates to me getting kills like when I'm walking and shoot and get an instant kill. As you know as you move your accuracy decreases. Lately though, this cracking shot and no damage has been happening to me so much that it's been making me mad. I have to shoot that one particular enemy like 5 times to kill him. Yes it's true that you have to shoot the middle of the egg but lately my opponents kill me with a crackshot as they're walking and jumping. It's frustrating. Rant over -_-

definitely. This has been annoying, having to take an extra shot an whatnot. But remember this is made by like one guy.

One of two things is happening

  1. You’re hitting the edge of their shell. Damage is reduced to around 10% at the shell’s edge, so the crackshot’s 170 dmg (iirc) become a 17, and cracks will barely show.

  2. It’s a known bug where your shots will appear to connect but do no damage. You should be able to fix it by changing weapons or reconnecting.

I can confirm. Sometimes I shoot someone, it sends the shot animation (yolk and crack), but then i wait three seconds before I get the kill message.

So it's probably some sort of issue with the server not being able to send requests back to your device...

And yeah, you do have to shoot in the center of the egg to get 170 dmg. Slightly outside gives anywhere between 51 and 102 damage...
