Are snipers bugged?

I get 60 in ping, and a lot of times I see the red beam of snipers not on me, and exactly at the time the sniper fires, the red beam instantly focus on me and I get hit.

This has happened too many times the last days… This is really frustrating as you don’t do an error and get hit anyways.

Am I alone in this situation?
Tbh, I have just rage left a game cause of this… This is really really frustrating…

I can’t say I’ve seen that exact scenario but it is definitely becoming more common for a sniper shot to go off before/simultaneously with the sound queue making it impossible to dodge. Could be related maybe.

So you’re one of those.

Yes… I was not even dead

sniper shot usually just deplete my toughness, here i have lost 80% of my life… Martyrdom I could continue.
But…

It was so frustrating that I stopped the game.

I am confident that 99% of issues like these are caused by laggy servers and desynchs. This also includes Trappers netting you through solid objects with no sound (my favorite was Trapper netting me during the animation of me Chainswording her to death)

Iv noticed, a few rare times, a sniper targeting someone who then gets behind cover and the sniper relocates their shot and fires but without resetting their timing.
It might be a bug? Are they meant to reset the timer upon loss of LoS?

This is exactly what I experimented.

I will try and capture it at some point but it seems extremely rare if it does happen.
More often is a teammate dodges out the way and I take their shot in the face :money_mouth_face:

Snipers can also target and hit you when you’re behind a friendly Ogryn with a deployed shield. Learned it the hard way :rofl:
