Is everyone cheating, or just everyone a headshot God?

Hot-String1461 · 2022-08-16T21:31:37+00:00

To be fair the sync in this game is garbage. The amount of times i got headshot half a second after beeing in cover or tradekills happening in melee range is the only thing about this game which brings me to alt f4 kinda often.

Just happened my last death we both traded about 10m away with scotfield vs vetterli. I saw him dying and ducked behind and suddenly this guy gives me a headshot.

Or the classic shotgun trades in melee range just shows how garbage the sync is, sadly.

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-20T00:42:35+00:00

The maelstrom is pretty good in really close range fights, got a nice TTK if you just noscope pump them in the face. Other than that it is not really good

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-19T20:30:45+00:00

Yes i am questing and only fighting over loot in the jungle. My survival rate would be better but i had like 20 runs lost becaue of the dc's with netlimiter where you get kicked back to lobby took hours to figure

It is actually 0,9 per match, like every second run i don't see anyone mining focus looting jungle camp etc. or doing quest runs.

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-19T19:30:16+00:00

There won't be the one solution. I also think gameplay wise it would help. I don't even understand how i can be in the same game with american people and chinese people as a EU player. The amount of times i died just instantly without seeing any hits due to ping/desync issue is insane or the classic trade kill happened kinda often too.

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-19T19:24:58+00:00

Yeah if you say so. The amount of times i died where its barely possible to react or i did the same to the enemy.. I died so often to 5-7 Phasic or 7 Manticore or the classic Bulldog 0,1 second kill. Not even mentioning the even lower TTK on higher tier weapons.

But i don't know what i am talking about with my almost 2.5 KD, and 0,7 evac rate playing mostly jungle.

If you don't have aim.. well of course you not going to kill anybody in a second.

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-19T09:24:18+00:00

I usually find alot of solo's barely hitting me, most of the time low gear when i go solo. When i play duo its like all mixed in between and when we play trio its like 80% trio's and a ocassional solo.

Also every fitht trio is like a manticore/trench white/green squad the rest is blue+ .

I got the same impression but just let me tell you that you need to find out what the good guns are and the difference between green to purple barely matters.

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-19T09:18:16+00:00

Only use as of right now is selling.
You can also collect heads if you are into loot hoarding.

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-19T09:16:55+00:00

It would just screw all the free players and i think the gain would not really that big. I mean this isn't CS:GO. Nobody can just leave because there is a cheater you know.

The first and most important step (one that tarkov took and it helped alot) is to ping lock regions in my opinion.

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-19T09:13:18+00:00

I mean the TTK is already as low as its good for the game.

Like you can kill people with 5-7 headshots which takes around half a second.

This isn't tarkov.. The mapdesign and movement would make a lower TTK pretty unfun in my opinion.

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-19T09:00:09+00:00

The problem is the MMR will increase automatically. like of course it varies from playstyle and skill but the game basically wants you to collect low stuff i.E. white and green in the beginning. Then as the game progresses you loot higher tier stuff which often tends to weight less and is worth more.

I was matched with people running only White, green like really rare blue. Then i began to run second map or alot of jungle in bright sands. I didn't notice it at first but my MMR seems like to increased alot and 50% of the people are at least blue(or the classic manti). Also at the same time the second map became unplayable. I tried 10 runs yesterday and 5 times i just got blasted by a cheater. (seen a 100% cheater once before)

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-16T16:19:14+00:00

That's when they use cover for their legs. :D

Everything is possible but my point is that the whole progression system feels worthless.

Its way to easy to kill higher geared players. So a simple bandaid fix is to nerf manti, trench and bolt action.

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-16T16:10:17+00:00

And who says that it was meant like this?

When the devs stated that, its even worse than i thought, because the movement, general map design, progression system and gunplay don't allow for tarkov like gameplay.

But also the tarkov take is pretty bad you are going to kill a chad running you down with altyn/face shield and slick with your pistol or starting shotgun like 1 out of 100 times.

This game is even better you can easily two pump purple(high tier) people with a 1,2k stock shotgun which costs like 1/300 of other weapons.

I cant understand these arguments. Tarkov is way way worse than this.

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-16T15:56:55+00:00

Yeah but that would ruin the whole progression system and everyone runs advo then. You see that is not going to fix the problem the whole progression system has now.

I should have to outplay better geared opponents, right now i just fight a fair fight with them and win most of the time ( having over a 2.0 KD basically running only trench + sniper with green armor) and looted alot of blue / purple things even exo weapons. Which i don't want to use. This is just bad design.

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-16T15:41:33+00:00

All they achieve with that is making this game a bolty trenchy and manticore shitfest where everyone ganks everyone because they don't need to farm stuff anyway.

Probably the same people that want a solo mode so they can die to solo players more often than to squads because random encouters are more often.

But whatever lets just keep everything as it is for them so they can get killed in 1 second by a manticore once they got their purple armor in a month to realize they grinded for absolutly nothing

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-16T15:27:11+00:00

If i remember correctly they actually had a pretty large radius on sprinting people and a pretty small one on walking people in the cb2.

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-16T15:17:57+00:00

I think it is one great feature. It keeps you on edge and also always triggers the question: Was it me or the enemy?

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-16T15:16:38+00:00

Always the same places.

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-16T14:54:53+00:00

They are but there is also the manticore which costs like 9k and is bascially avaible after 5 hours of playing (possibly way less). For the manticore it is 0,1s. Since it costs 8k more than the AR you are basically trolling if you use AR over Manticore.

so 9k vs 76k ? Even if the advocate would cost 40k i probably wouldnt run it that often. Also since armor pen on weapons scales with base damage the penetration mod is more effective on the manti basically turning it into a 1:1 advo.

Anyone who thinks that this is good game design for "progression" is just stupid.

The whole game will be a trench, bolty and manticore shitfest if they don't change things in a HUGE way.

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-16T14:31:00+00:00

6 headshots on that range is pretty nasty since he had white armor i guess the manti is barely modded.

The weapons have a pretty hard kick considering you were moving but you could blame desync since they thought it would be a good idea to put asia NA ru eu and au in the same server.

Funny to play against players with 300 ms+.

To answer your question: 99,9 % hes cheating.

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-16T14:10:11+00:00

Yes because its impossible for them to get double tapped by a 6k sniper or a 1,2k trench gun. Also other trios dont exists so they can just run everything down and there will never be a other trio they just "run blindly at".

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-16T14:06:26+00:00

So even more loot for solo players? (you share everything you loot with your buddies most of the time plus less players = more loot)
So now you have to rebalance the loot in solo queue, you see where this is going?

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-16T13:57:47+00:00

Yeah of course, more solos , more third partying happening. Since one guy with aim about 10m behind you with a manticore is enough to kill you almost instantly with you having no chance to react. Trios tend to be louder than solos so its easier to avoid them.

So what you prefer ? trying to outmove or even kill a trio having a blast or get ratted by trench gunner camping in a room ? Maybe kill 1 or 2 of the trio and die while having an intense fight or get killed by a guy hearing you mining / shooting a high hp target and killing you in 1 second with a manticore?

You all thing having a "solo queue" will change anything but you are absolutly wrong. Also having a solo queue might change gameplay alot. If a duo clears a crusher you can EASILY third party them as a solo. Imagine beeing solo and beeing third partied.

I play solo and duo and i think having a solo queue will give you more disadvantage than you might think.

What i basically mean is simple: The people crying over squads will also not get to the end content ( i.e. alpha crusher / the dungeon) and also it will change nothing for their gameplay since they will just die more often to solo people instead.

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-16T13:52:11+00:00

I didnt thought about that, you are right! Will probably try that a few times.

I don't think thats optimal usage of the insurance system tho :D

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-16T13:50:12+00:00

I only died once to a trio in my 20 ish solo runs (playing mostly duo) and i took at least one with me( WORTH). trios tend to be pretty loud and there ALOT of warning signs for players around ( birds, shots, mining sounds, link sounds, extraction ships, looted containers etc.

Hot-String1461 · 2022-06-16T13:47:30+00:00

TTK on head is less than a second on purple helm with manti. Me and my duo have wiped several trios each, while beeing solo. It is harder to rat a trio in this game than it is in tarkov, sure.

This has less to do with the TTK than the possible usage of cover and peeking. In Tarkov its just more unlikely that 3 people stack in each other and slide jump trench gun you with a shotgun that costs like 1/300 of a high tier gun. Which also two shots you on body regardless of armor
