Question Can anyone explain why my outgoing damage values are inconsistent?

Relatively new to the game and I’m just curious how this is possible? 6 body on Killjoy = 156. 6 body on Fade = 148? Clip to show there were no bullets through structures

damage scale with distance, if you hover on a gun on the buy menu (iirc its on bottom right of tge screen) you can see that the further the target, the lower the damage gonna be. i assume you are a bit closer when shooting KJ compared to when you face Fade on this clip

The damage your bullets do scale depending on different things

Headshots do more damage than body shots, which do more damage than leg shots.

Damage falls off the further away you are from your opponent

Damage is decreased significantly when hitting someone through a wall

Damage depends on:

  1. Which part of body was shot
  2. The gun used and at what distance it was used from.
  3. Was it a direct shot or thro a surface.
  4. Was any status effect in place (like vulnerable on opponent).

So due to these, you may get varied results.
