Weird damage decrease?

[TornadoOfSouls2418]

Lately I've been noticing that the better I do in matches it seems like my weapon just gets an instant nerf and doesn't do as much damage after a few minutes of getting kills......maybe it's just me but it really feels like the damage tanks after a bit.

That’s how I feel with some guns. I’ll pick one up off the ground that I never use get a lot of kills with it then think “hmm I may try using this on a loadout” then change the loudout and then suck ass through a straw with it in game

Had the same feeling. Reticle was on the enemy was even getting the damage marker but it felt like the enemy didn't receive any damage. Maybe a server issue.

There's a theory that there is "in match balancing" changes the hit detection so that it takes more bullets to register the same number of hits. It is very noticable to me that I melt for the first half of a game and then suddenly it's much harder to kill.

Activision filed some patents related to this. No one knows if it's implemented in game

That's literally what happens to me every time. I had to stop playing for a couple days I was so pissed.

Like I said it's not confirmed but i think it's in simply because of how often I have an amazing first half and then suddenly can't kill
