    CLose range shooting in this game not very good

    In particular I am talking about rushers. They are standing right in front of you, you aim right at them and the bullet does not hit them.

    Are you aiming at them or hip firing?

    Aiming with a rifle. I get killed by these guys not all the time but often and I am firing right at them. Its like there hit box is much smaller than them or they have an unbelievable amount of health so that it takes several rifle shots to kill them .Like 4 or 5 from a pretty powerful rifle ( 600 dmg at level 7)

    I swear I notice something similar. Unloading into a guys face with my LMG from close range and it does feel like every 3rd round hits. I thought red guys were taking to many rounds to put down.

    It is not just close up, even at a short distance bullets go through the npc and do no damage...my crossbow does it as well , big fat boss with sledge hammer standing in front of me and the bold went through him and hit the wall ..My mk 17 15k will take red enemy out with 2 shots my sniper rifle with 56k takes about 6 shots.. ?.. After level 30 damage in this game is a joke..

    This has happened to me. Not often, but occasionally I dump a clip into a point blank rusher and...no hits.

    Was the same issue in TD1, maybe we are aiming through them

    The only think of is they are standing so close to you that the weapon is actually clipping through there body and the bullet is exiting it on the other side of the enemy. However if that is the case it seems like a bug. If that is the case however maybe I should try switching to my magnum pistol which is a lot shorter when I see them coming And see if I have better luck.

    Friends and myself have often encountered this issue, and are in agreement that hitbox registration is inconsistent in The Division 2, and the devs need to look into this. Sniper scope aiming is off also. When you attempt a head shot with sniper scope the bullet often misses, and if you remove the scope and attempt the same shot the bullet registers!
