Why Are Bullets Ricocheting off the enemy?

anyone notice this lately ?
my maces get deflected all time, im hitting half what i should.
its not my build,i see the bullet stream flying up high and other times they would fly behind the target when im shooting at it or before it.

this is crazy and its not lag/
for years i played this game and i seen nothing like this.
i never miss a target this bad.

Maybe they changed the hitbox of the gun, and now it’s not able to aim low enough?
Can you reproduce this on the range and post some video?

range is normal.
its in battle where it gets weird.
its like the matrix, the bullets fly up or i cant shoot them at all even when the sites r on them or b4 them if they r running.
something is going on.
i never miss this much,and seeing my shots go up in the air from my maces,well something needs to be fixed

Maybe they added “Realism”?
Bullets get deflected when they hit angled surfaces :thinking:

Grab some video.
Only with Maces, or other guns too?

I’d bet it was this. It seems like they even mentioned fiddling with hit-boxes in their patch-notes somewhere.

Making the build feature more difficult to deal with isn’t great, and necessitating flimsy shot guns to be mounted out in the open is harsh. This is more of why I don’t often bother with guns at all, and more reason not to pursue the prescribed game progression they expect you to attend to. Grinding this stuff out can be tedious and a very long term goal, only to have the rug pulled out from under you is very discouraging.

We build sand castles only to have the shore perpetually drag our efforts out to sea. It’s hard to want to invest one’s attention in a dynamic like this. I think it’s one of the things that makes this game unpopular and we could easily do without…it’s why I mostly do drones. They keep me relatively uninvested in this game’s fickle developments. They are low energy.

just maces,so far.
im wondering if any other gun seems to shoot off in a weird direction in battle.

I still think it’s probably a hitbox thing.
See if it still does it when your guns aren’t recessed behind anything.

I saw a similar issue with my little werewolf drone (has a Fafnir on it I think). I tried shooting the other drone in my range after killing the build, and it seemed to miss even though I aimed at it. :thinking:

Holy hell you have no idea how much I would love this.

proper armor would be pretty sick

found the problem, 'Torero cab maybe maces update.
they are shooting up because of the cab or something they did to maces.
they sit 1 block below the cab as always.
so the devs did something.
and my shooting keeps looking like spraying water from a garden hose aiming at my target…wtf is going on ?

IDK, but my spin-off build behaves the same way. It can’t hit crap.

Can you get some more tilt going? If I remember correctly, you run your maces on small tracks? Maybe put a couple Sleipnirs in the back?

no,its should of shot straight,the devs did something.
and chasing someone,lets say they r going right and my gun sight is on them, all my shots trail n bend behind them. this needs to be fixed. i dont think its that windy to make my shots go awkard.

I still think you should try, even if just to test whether it’s a hitbox change.
