    It could also be something as simple as lag. I assume hit checks are done server side, so if the mob moved in another direction and you fired, the server has a different opinion on where the mob is. Then again, there's also the Accuracy stat on the sniper that could cause stuff like that. I haven't looked at that in-depth yet. Will put it on my todo list!

    most of my gameplay has been with a sniper rifle, i know lag causes misses but the shots im talking about are when the enemy is still, reloading / standing firing or even not in combat i aim up the same shot and get diffrent ressults, but i didnt consider the accuracy thing maybe that is it , but silly to make a game skill based with aiming then have the guns be off

    I have that problem as well and so do others, I have better luck if I don't crouch.

    Not just me then, placing 3 rounds into a motionless guys face, just to be told none even hit? gets very annoying.

    what kind of rifle are you using? If its a bolt action then see http://forums.defiance.com/showthrea...e-Accuracy-Bug

    if its a Semi Auto, well then you're just missing or server is lagging or both (which sometimes works out and you hit )

    The hitbox tends to be slightly smaller than the head. You gotta aim in the middle to register a hit. if you aim by the side, it doesnt register EVEN IF THE CROSSHAIR TURNS RED.
