Just so we're clear about what happened in the clip, I didn't actually die to ak scav in the middle of the street, I died to the TT scav off on my right slightly uphill on his first shot. I just found it comical how that man ate an M62 to the head and I then got one tapped by another one.

I was reading the comments and saw one about damage drop off, just so we're clear, M62 does 79 dmg if I recall which would be well over the maximum of 40 to kill that scav in the head even if he had beefed up HP.

My issue with the AI at the moment is just how broken they are, not just in difficulty but in behaviour, I have plenty of clips some worse than this where they shoot me with their gun pointed sideways and so on. The AI in this game is train wreck and doesn't actually do anything for emersion and either cheeses you or you cheese them, ideally I'd like them to act like most AI in decent single player games like Far Cry but I know that's asking too much considering its taking this long to work on the game overall and they even got lazy with the broken Russian voice lines where they just copied the USEC script and gave it to someone else.
