Deathslinger shots go through body

Ive been playing some deathslinger on and off, and ive experienced my shots not connecting and visually going through body's without a succesful outcome.


Any1 else experiencing this?

Also, Otzdarva played deathslinger on his stream tonight and ill link you this clip. His shot really going through. Thats when i certainly knew something is off with his shots.

    This is why I don’t main him fully. He’s too inconsistent for me to enjoy him

    I played against a Deathslinger today and it seemed like one of his shots went right through me. He still ended up getting me, but I did feel bad that the chase was longer than it should’ve been.

    Yup

    Some of these killer powers are just getting too inconsistent to count on using, which is kind of a big deal for someone like Deathslinger where using his powers is the only way to make him useful...

    I had three people body blocking each other trying to storm through the gate and I fired right into the crowd. I couldn't have missed if I purposefully tried to miss in that pile of bodies but nope! Game thought LOL and I didn't hit one of them somehow...

    Yup. Gameplay continues to be put on the backburner for connectivity (monetization). I've put him and Plague aside

    As a hardcore slinger main I can confirm that happens when you shoot at survivors during vault animations and don't realise where the actual hitbox is.

    The hitbox for landing hits is always in the center when vaulting so the edges even when they look like they should connect when you aim at them don't actually have a hitbox if you aim from an angle like in the clip. Although I admit, that must have been extremely close to miss.

    Aiming at the direct center prevents this from happening, at least I don't remember last time I missed someone hit straight directly in the middle of them.

    That's one of the exact reasons I don't play DS much. Super irritating.

    You have to aim at the center of the survivor to get a hit on them while vaulting. It's not inconsistent, just consistently bad. Same with Huntress (well, in theory, in a world where her hatchets aren't the size of a continent)

    that is due to Survivor hitboxes not matching their playmodels and Slingers shot projectile hitbox being as precise as it is.

    from an entirely technical point of view he missed her, as the two hitboxes never collided.


    btw, thats exactly the reason why huntress throws her miniature fridges at you.
