I am a Korean player, and since the Asia server is dead, I have to play with a minimum of 230 ping. This means that when I press the brake, it only starts stopping 0.23 seconds later. When I click to fire, the shot happens 0.23 seconds later and lands where I aimed 0.23 seconds ago. Additionally, my reload time effectively increases by 0.23 seconds, making it impossible to fire as much as my opponents.
For me, the Big Scorpion game mode is pure suffering. They are fast and agile, making them hard to predict in the first place. When I calculate their movements and fire, they jump and dodge the shot. Even enemies in mid-air can change direction while airborne. If I aim at an enemy who’s down, by the time my shot fires after 0.23 seconds, they’ve already jumped away using carjacking to dodge the bullet.
I even have to predict my own movements to control my character properly. If I jump, I need to account for turret rotation speed and turn the camera further to predict and fire accurately.
But all of this is manageable. The biggest issue is that 230 ping is not always 230 ping. It’s not consistently 0.23 seconds. Even within a single match, there are slight variations.
