Appreciate it! Always happy to look into potential hitreg issues.

TL:DR Looks like there may be a bug here with the way we're representing the impacts on the smaller target, but otherwise things should be okay here.

There's a couple of things here to talk about:
1.) Hit impacts and the way they are being represented on the tiny target. The hit impacts for the weapons on the larger target should be accurate, but the ones on the smaller target are not- notice the real hit impacts are in the center of the crosshair, and the ones on the smaller target are off-center. This is most likely a bug with how those hit impacts are being represented on the tiny target, and not the shots themselves being fired too low.

2.) The headshot on the bot. The bots' models are a bit thinner than their actual hitboxes, if you shoot slightly around the bots you should see hit impacts and deal damage in most cases- this includes the top of the head. This is true for many of the agents as well- all agents share the same hitbox, but have slightly di...

On a personal note, I really appreciate everyone who took the time to play the beta, report bugs, write up feedback, read the stuff we wrote, make community content, or otherwise did work trying to make the game better for everyone. Your contributions matter.

It's been a humbling, constructive, and fun experience working together with you all. Here's to launching this thing and keeping the collaboration going!

Thanks for looping back. We'll look into this.

LOL clever. Love it.

Totally know what you mean. Another poster had a good point, too -- that right now, since there's no benefit to knifing someone, it's purely BM. If you get knifed, you're like, "Damn, what a troll." If there's a reward, even the person who's killed can be like, "Yeah that was a little troll, but I can see why they did it." All good points IMO

Another poster recommended giving the killer extra ult points, and that would make me happy too =D

I really like this line of thinking. You're totally right. With no rewards for knifing, there's no reason to do it unless you're just BMing.
By adding a reward for knifing, I think it actually improves the experience for all players, even the one who gets killed.

INSTA ULT!!

This idea, I like! Reward the player who did it, rather than penalize the player who got killed. And it benefits their team, too :)

shame of getting embarrassed

I'm with you there; I was just riffing off the language used by OP. I'm not nearly good enough at the game to allow myself to be humiliated lol.
And I agree that a reward would feel really good. But personally, I'd prefer something that adds to my experience, instead of detracts from theirs...like a unique kill banner or extra combat points or something. That's what I meant by rewards versus penalties.
Just my two cents though :)

Hmm... While I do love the idea of providing a reward for knife kills (since they're WAY harder to obtain), do you think it's fair to equate rewarding one person with penalizing another? "I feel rewarded by not only humiliating, but debilitating another player" doesn't seem like it would translate for everybody.

There is a small (and I mean very small fractions of a second) randomization on the bomb VFX/SFX timing. This is to make sure close defusals aren't 100% known or not and you have to make a judgment call on whether you have enough time to defuse. The "I got it" voice lines for agents is the same - it just means it's gonna be real close. The actual bomb time is fixed, just the feedback has a tiny fudging on it

This should only be felt if you're using stopwatch-level precision, partially to make sure a tool like that also never becomes required for competitive play.

lol Ryze was in this game.. nice shooting too!

confirmed

Ok we work on that and you work on your tone
