Feedback/Bug: Hot boxes for snipers are larger than the reticule indicates

Avatar
Nossarian

Description: When lining up shots that would barely go over terrain/intervening architecture, the rounds for snipers tend to hit the stuff in between instead of the target that is lit up red by the scope 'hit' indicator.

Many shots have been lost this way and I have to open up significantly wider out of cover to make the round actually travel over where it says it should be able to go. This is likely due to the ballistic path of the rounds, but when the scope says "hit" and it doesn't actually "hit" it feels VERY bad, especially on non-moving targets.

    Hi there,

    Thank you for reaching out and for reporting this.

    Could you provide a few more details to add to your report?

    • Your Platform
    • The approximate date and time of when this happened

    • Map and area where you were taking the shot

    • Weapon and scope that you were using (and any notable mods, if applicable)
    • Whether your target was a runner or UESC, and if they were standing still or moving
    • Rough distance to the target and what kind of cover or geometry you were shooting past (e.g., box edge, railing, roofline)
    • Whether the scope showed the target as "hit" at the exact moment you fired, and what you actually saw hit (sparks on cover, dust, etc.)
    • A short video clip showing you lining up the shot and the bullet hitting the intervening geometry instead of the target

    Please use your platform's capture button to take a video. You can upload the footage to a public video hosting site, like YouTube, then post the link here and we’ll be glad to take a look.
