Regarding weapon damage

    Hello,

    Id like to write with regards to the weapon damage and how inconsistant the damage is for the overall weapons.

    Playing this game from the start till now, and the fact that how we have the weapon damage ingame its totally unbalanced.

    I respawn on ship after being attacked, guy is behind 1 shots with a blunderbuss,
    Respawned again he waits on the exact spot of where i spawned and shoots me with the sniper 1 shot.

    I try do this with any of my weapons and their is a inconsistancy with damage. I do not get or understand what is going on, and a major level of unfairness with weapons its beyond belief.

    A lot of my friends are put of the game due to how people are playing and it almost feels like a level of aimbotting or something.

    Implement a system which rust has, it shows how much damage you take and how the player died. Giving a idea just pressing F1 on this game shows you where u got shot, and how you died. The game weapons either need a re-balance or maybe the players i went up against were just the bane of existance.

    Iv played long enough to know my playstyles and how to engage but this is baffling me to the core.

    anyone's views on the matter please respond below.

    You cannot be one shot by a sniper when at full health, it is literally impossible and has been impossible since day one... it even does less damage than at launch. Where you are shot is irrelevant as we do not have regional damage. The only weapon that can one shot in this game is a blunderbuss if each buckshot lands.

    The damage the weapons do is consistent and always the same, if the hit is registered. In my view the damage values are pretty much on point for where they should be.

    I am sorry but i disagree, my friend and myself have been 1 shot and was happening continously. to the stage we were camped on our boat on our spawns.

    Trust me the Blunderbuss and also the sniper are in a league of its own compared to the pistol which barely does even that.

    Weapons do need a look into.

    blunderbuss = 10 dmg X 10 pellets
    EoR = 70 damage
    Pistol = 50 damage
    Sword = 25 damage.

    EoR can not 1 shot you, you might have taken 2 shots, 1 from 2 different players, or they double gunned you and got the shots off quick. The only 1 hit 1 kill weapon is the blunderbuss at point blank.

    @CotU42 and @Captain-Coel are both right; the blunderbuss is the only hand-held weapon that can one shot you from full health (cannonballs and kegs can also do this, but that's not what you describe)

    The Sea of Thieves Wiki says the same thing: https://seaofthieves.gamepedia.com/Weapons

    i can assure you, 1 person alone on the ship and got 1 shotted by the sniper. My team were not the only ones that experienced the same ordeal.

    I can assure you that is not possible. Only the blunderbuss can one shot players and only from extremely close range.

    So do you think the spawn camping on a ship is fair? not a single way to delay to raise to even defend?

    I just don't understand the direction the fighting is going anymore.

    Well, there must be something else going on (a new exploit or the like); record it if this happens to you again.

    I promise you atleast 2-3 times today continously happening. Camping on a ship and just alway's behind straight away no chances given and boom dead.

    Trust 2 times today, 1 being the blunderbuss which ''fine ill accept if this is the case'' but the sniper trust me it was my last downfall today. Next time ill record my engages and this way i can backtrack

    Spawn camping it totally fair, spawn in with your crew at the same time to be able to counter it better. Scuttle if you are no longer willing to fight. Upgrade our hard drive to a Solid State if you want to speed up your load times, yeah... hardware matters in games. Xbox Ones support external ones, the new generation that came out has one before you think this is a PC only thing.

    You can shout as much as you want that an Eye of Reach is one shooting you, but it is impossible as it does 70 damage, whether they shoot you between the eyes or in your tiny toe it makes no difference. It is a fact, not an opinion... A flintlock also has a place in the seas as it reloads quicker than an Eye of Reach and has an accurate hip fire, while also requiring 2 shots to confirm a kill. The preference between the two guns is totally subjective.

    @kadaj1991 the sniper did not one shot you. you are wrong in believing it did. Also spawn camping is completely legit and acceptable, if you don't like it you can scuttle.

    @kadaj1991 if that happens and you can’t get out scuttle that’s why that feature is there.

    @Kadaj1991 The stats for the weapon damage others have posted is concrete - there's no getting around that. Either you were shot twice very quickly (and yes, coordinated attacks can do that), or they were cheating in some fashion (though I doubt there's a cheat that is that powerful). Regardless, recording instances you find confusing is a good practice in general (both for catching cheaters and to learn from your losses), and I'm happy to see that you're considering doing just that in the future.

    Happy sailing!

    Sniper can not one shot. There are no critical zones on the character hit box.

    There is no way for snipers to do more damage.

    Now I think I know exactly how you were dying but I know for a fact it wasn't one shot or an exploit or even a hack.

    You either got double shot immediately when loading which is easy to do especially when you are on a sloop. There are other ways but you aren't being one shot.

    Spawn camping is completely legit, you should scuttle next time.

    Sorry broski. Better luck next time.
