Is it just me or do you guys get one shoted by a shotgun or sniper, I've gotten one shotted like 3 times today, I just don't think it's fair, it's fine for the shotgun or sniper to do like 70-80% of damage on the first hit, but getting one shotted is not fair imo ):
Getting one shotted.
Me and my friends have the same experience:
We hit someone 3 times with the shotgun (1m away) and the guy is still alive but we get one shot by it.
Doing 2 headshots with a sniper to someones doesn't kill him but we get oneshot by it.
We also have to make like 7 sword hits to kill someone and they just do 3 hits which fully stuns us and with the 3rd hit we are dead.@c4tch-xxii Damage and other combat values are probably going to be all over the place until they can determine proper balance before release... its a BETA 🙂

You only get 1 shot if you take a head shot
And for the blunderbus you need to be less then 2ft away, so just keep your distance and keep moving
I agree that something needs to be fixed when it comes to the blunderbuss and eye of reach. the blunderbuss is especially annoying.
Being a shotgun-type weapon I completely agree with it doing over half your health in damage or outright killing you at point-blank range. What I take issue with it being killed by a blunderbuss at mid range. As previously stated, the blunderbuss is a shotgun and should cause lethal or fatal damage at point-blank range. The blunderbuss shoots five bullets in a cone and being hit by two of these is enough to wound or outright kill you. However, the further away a target is from the origin point (i.e the blunderbuss) the less chance they have of being hit as the bullets spray out in all directions.
I concede that one of these bullets can hit (must be a very lucky shot) but this one shot should not be enough to kill you, at the very most, it should do around 25% damage as this would be a grazing shot and not a direct hit.
I have yet to experience headshots in the game but I concede that this is a critical hit and should outright kill a player at full health. This isn't Halo where Spartans can still function without their braincases.
I understand but if someone can get a good shot or lucky they can hit you in the head and this will be a one-shot as one it is your head and in real life, a headshot would just kill you. If they shoot you anywhere else it does less damage. Alos the Blunderbuss close up will deal more damage then it would from far away.
I think it's just luck of the draw for getting one shot. Although, if there's a hit box for a players head, it maybe should be a bit smaller. I have been getting one shot too quite a bit during this test. But I've also been seeking out pvp a tad bit more than I usually do. I took on a galleon crew earlier just before I got off, and probably 3 out of their 5 or 6 times they killed me, it was a one shot. But I still sank their battleship :D

I don't get the damage model in the this game. Was at a Skull fort and this group of players were just griefing everyone. Me and random griefer end up in water, I'm swimming towards the beach and he's chasing me. I land 3 pistol shots as we're swimming AND a shark comes up behind him and lands a bite. The second I hit the beach, he one shots me with a regular sword swing.
How did he survive 3 pistol shots and a shark bite?
How did a single sword slash one hit me (I had around 80% health)?
Same griefers about 40min later: One of them takes off with our sloop. I spawn in behind the guy. He's on the wheel. I shoot him in the back of the head at point blank with a pistol and he turns around and one shots me with a sword slash. Different player but same crew. Don't get it.
@neolink Calling people "griefers" just because they kill you is gonna make it so the actual griefers dont get in trouble
@karma-calibur I'm thinking there are some issues with lag or between platforms maybe... I have been and have killed by/with the blunderbuss using it basically as a melee range weapon... Last night I had full health and shot a guy twice with my pistol at about 30ft away and he survived both bullet's... he jumped in the air with a blunderbuss from the same distance and killed me instantly... I quit playing last night after that, it was ridiculous! I'll be back on today though... Love the game but can be a really frustrating gaming experience at times when the mechanics don't make any sense or you feel like other players my be cheating some how.

I never said they were griefers because they killed me. Not sure how you even jumped to that conclusion. I wasn’t going to get into what they were doing since it was irrelevant to the topic.
They were griefing according to every standard I’ve seen on these boards. Killing someone isn’t griefing, thought that went without saying.
It's a tricky one. I am sometimes able to 1 shot people, and sometimes I get 1 shot as well. Few days ago I've played against few Italians and I've put 3 blunderbuss shots from few inch distance and nothing. Tried same with his crew mates, still nothing, I just couldn't scratch them (Hacks?). On the same island, I was fighting 2 Germans just a few minutes earlier and I was killing them with no issues, 1 or 2 shots.
