I have to agree. I use a sniper rifle quite a bit, and sometimes when I shoot another player it just appears as a bluish square on the player's avatar and no damage was done. I know for a fact I hit them, and sometimes I'll take 5 shots and every one hits but no damage.
Am I missing something that is a mechanic? Some special shielding? Otherwise, I do believe there is a hit detection issue. I've missed out on many, many kills due to the hit striking but no damage taken. If it is something I'm doing wrong though, I'd love to know so I can fix my play style! Please don't say I'm actually missing though because I know that I am not, I've seen this 5 dozen times now and I know my hits are landing on the model, but no damage is being applied. |

So far my "confirmed" (AKA: within 100 meters) tally of these wasted shots goes to 3-4 against light, 2 against medium armor (1 at point-blank range from behind) and 3 against heavy class dropsuits. Sometimes it happens against the same target 3-4 times before it starts registering the hits normally again (tested against scout dropsuit @230m, took 7 shots to kill, 5 with shield flicker, at which point I got sniped)
+1, I get the SAME EXACT issue. you're not alone. It happens at least 5 or 6 times a fight for me. |

Absolutely not because the shields don't recharge that fast. The flash occurs the instant the hit strikes and there is no reaction to the status bar. When I say I hit them 3, 4 and 5 times I mean it's back to back bullets. There is no way they can take that many hits from a charge sniper rifle back to back. |

So I swap to AR and all I got was either no damage at all off most players I shot or just the shield damage indicartor but not doing any damage, day before I was on a rampage so yes something isn't working correct
I know exactly what you mean. I've been in nigh point blank distance behind another sniper. I snuck up behind him, tried to land one right in his skull, blue shield thing. 2nd bullet, blue shield. 3rd bullet blue shield. So, I scooted a couple steps to the right, took another shot, blam dead. Weird.
I'm still getting plenty of kills, don't get me wrong, and I love the game but something is definitely wrong with the hit detection on about 15% of my shots. |

So The shield detection graphics code is off. I know I missed because it happens a lot when I'm leading a target. My cross hair
doesn't go red but the blue shield appears.
Just putting it out their so people don't confuse blue shield with a hit.
Yea but at nearly point blank range with a rifle pointed squarely at the back and the blue shield comes up... something is wrong with that. It shouldn't deflect at that range pointed at such a broad target. We're talking less than 30 meters, probably less than 20 meters. |
