have not noticed this.
are you sure the target you test this with is indeed within critical range?
if target is closer than 10 yards you cant crit for example. same if target is too far. the critical range of your weapon is indicated in the weapon's stats.
*this is a frequent mistake when testing in the BoO gun range as the paper target can often spawn at the closest point which is under 10 meters and thus impossible to crit on.
Allright here it is, 15 minutes and 3 fast travel later...
I must say that the chatterbox was not affected and that the only thing i did in this 15 minutes play session was to change the Reflex Sight for the Rugged Mini Reflex Sight.
Right now i must restart the game because whatever distance i am from the target it will never crit with my assault rifle.

i hope they fix it for whoever this is happening ;
crit and crit damage need heavy investments to be decent and then it still doesn't cover all ranges... it should at least work as intended!
*is it only on consoles? i genuinely never noticed this happening to me on PC even though im using a crit build.
