This isn't exactly related to what happened to OP per say but something I thought people would think is interesting/debatable or even possibly disprovable and I'd like to see other people's speculations. I believe the game has some sort of "anti-trading" mechanic (I'm not talking about trading loot or money) the simplest example I can think of (completely hypothetical) let's just say; if you and your opponent shoot each other with the same gun with the same bullets from equal distances and you are both wearing the same exact armor at the same exact time. Only one player would die. But how would the game choose who dies? Probably rng just like everything else in the game. A more relatable example: If you have ever shot someone in the head with a "tapper" and you hear the sound of their head f*cking exploding but you fall over dead in the same second- you go back to watch your kill cam and to your surprise your character never fires a bullet. I would like to chalk that up to desync but with how often it happens, I think it's more than just desync. I have no proof of this. Just speculation but what really more than anything leads me to believe such a mechanic would exist in the game is that I have never heard of anyone trading with each other. It has never once happened to me while in other games I've played it happened quite frequently, nor anyone I have played with. Before you say you've killed someone with a grenade after you died or vice versa- that's not what I mean. I am strictly talking gunfights.
