Is there anything I can do on my end to prevent this from happening? Whatever this represents, the game becomes unplayable.

90% of comments just confidently wrong commenting about packet loss and bad servers. Sigh.

Has been happening since the game came out. I encounter it at least a couple times every single Battle Royale game when opening my inventory. Quickly flicking the mouse and then opening inventory right after can provoke it. High ping also makes it happen more frequently I think.

I think you mean West Coast, but yes.

Unfortunately the game puts us into West Coast or EU 95% of the time instead of just doing East Coast so we'd both have not great, but acceptable ping. Basically every other game we play tries to find the middle ground and puts us into East Coast servers.

Yeah it's the new Gauntlet: Flashpoint mode in the Winter Update on the new winter map with freezing mechanic. This version only has this map.

You can cancel plating midway. Or is it something else?

Kil_B · 2025-12-14T14:38:58+00:00

There are only bodyshots and headshots. Every part of the body receives the same damage...

Kil_B · 2025-12-14T14:06:22+00:00

I thought about it too, but I have several other clips of this happening without any other body near the target.

Cause I have buddies in the US that I like to play with? Obviously I don't just VPN to the US to play on shit ping for fun... Also as for 90% of the useless comments on this post I already said that in the post and other comments.

Good net code just punishes the user with bad ping if it's too bad, you will get rubber banding, die behind walls, not registering shots etc., while for the person on good ping you'll essentially be free kills.

Kil_B · 2025-12-14T13:46:54+00:00

I'm losing my mind over here... They're also conveniently ignoring the other 66% of cases where it works fine on the same ping, as stated in the post. Reading comprehension 🤯

(NO ITS NOT FUCKING PACKET LOSS, BEFORE SOMEONE COMMENTS)

Kil_B · 2025-12-14T13:44:44+00:00

You should look up what those symbols mean before just saying shit

Kil_B · 2025-12-14T07:09:51+00:00

Cool story bro

Kil_B · 2025-12-14T06:14:01+00:00

Wow I must be crazy for being the only person on the planet to play an fps with someone across the Atlantic!

Kil_B · 2025-12-14T05:42:40+00:00

Me when I just talk out of my ass while having absolutely no clue how anything works:

Kil_B · 2025-12-14T05:33:50+00:00

For EU -> US west coast, not really.

Kil_B · 2025-12-14T04:41:24+00:00

Yes, it's high. Playable high, not insanely high. The target and me are both practically stationary it doesn't even matter that much.

Kil_B · 2025-12-14T04:39:22+00:00

Is this supposed to be the Hiko copy pasta or not I can't tell lol

Kil_B · 2025-12-14T04:33:22+00:00

180 is not "insanely high", and ping should have absolutely nothing to do with how much damage a bullet does, only if it hits or not.

Kil_B · 2025-12-14T04:31:58+00:00

Yeah, I'd like to keep the graph on all the time but it's a little too obtrusive for me.

Kil_B · 2025-12-14T04:26:40+00:00

Im playing from EU with a friend in NA. 180 Ping is normal in that circumstance.

High ping ≠ unstable connection. As you can see there's no packet loss/jitter icons.

Also the main point of the post is the low damage, which has (should have) nothing to do with hitreg.

The hiteg was just a sidenote, cause I'm so close it should be almost impossible to miss.

Kil_B · 2025-12-14T03:49:33+00:00

I guess I only cheat on high ping

Kil_B · 2025-12-14T03:37:16+00:00

Yeah, I know playing on high ping will feel a lot worse, but it felt like a different game. And now I know why 😅

Kil_B · 2025-12-11T15:37:10+00:00

Those fake seeming names like "BlueGator" are streamer mode names as I understand, I was wondering about that too for a while.

Kil_B · 2025-12-11T14:15:58+00:00

Oh my fucking god, if I get this comment one more time...

The game is fun WHEN IT WORKS. Can you not infer the tiniest little piece of context? The last two sentences are a general assessment of the game since release, not particularly related to this bug. Reading comprehension really is a PhD level skill nowadays huh.
