    Someone please tell me

    So....who are these guys in the DZ who can take a full clip to the face with Banshee procced just to turn around and melt you in half a second. I am no noobie to this game. Have been here from the get go but this is something new. I get if you devote all resources to firearms you are going to hit hard and be a tank if devoted to stamina but HOW can these guys pull off both? Maybe a glitch build? Maybe cronus max? It's gotten to the point that single guys are going manhunt all the time and are basically unkillable. What gives?

    Probably cheating of some sorts, or there is the rare occasion where you find people that are just really good. Could also be playing people with very crappy latency and a higher ping than Santa Claus bloodsugar level...there is no ping restriction of any kind so much like a lot of online games a very crappy connection is king. Regional servers would be a welcome change

    What has been happening since the Launch of this game and will remain until the end.
    Hackers, Cheating, Exploiting.
    Save yourself some pain and frustration and don't bother with Pvp

    Could be a ping/latency issue but it seems more of a glitch build. The guys I have come up against make it a point to face tank knowing they are going to melt everyone in front of them. My build isn't too shabby and should be able to compete but no dice. They simply absorb damage while dealing MASSIVE amounts in return. Makes zero sense.

    Yup you are not alone in your observations.

    Other than a few daily's in the DZ I've pretty much given up on it.

    I'm looking forward to seeing if D2s armour system helps reduce this face tank nonsense. This game was made to be a cover based shooter not call of duty.

    This has always been my experience - its rare to not either encounter (A) Someone who is just there for PVE and wants you to kill them and move on so they can get back to PVE (B) people who seemingly can melt even tanky builds with 2-3 shots from range while even with a high firearms build you will barely scratch them and rarely anything else.

    I've been playing Quake series online for well over 20 years, played plenty of MMO/RPG games in that time, etc. so I'm pretty conversant with the mechanics in general and reasonably good awareness - I'm not just standing in the open taking like 5 seconds to react, etc. or losing my head because I'm inexperienced and so on.

    The game is just pretty broken for PVP and I generally avoid it (I also spend many years playing Eve Online which has some of the harshest PVP environments in gaming where you literally can be putting months of work on the line in an engagement - so not intimidated by it hah).

    Try taking on 4 of these terminators on manhunt, it takes about 20 guys to finally take them down ! Even my deadeye feels like I'm hitting them with marshmallows when they hit me with 2 bullets and I'm down.
