Reproducibility: Always
Summary: When ADS upon a crawler, stalker, or less frequently a clot with the VLAD-1000 nail gun, they will flinch, dodge, or roll away from the projectile almost immediately upon firing. Before the projectile has a chance to reach the target, the zed has already dodged the projectile, resulting in a missed head shot or even a total miss.
The greater the distance between the player and zed, the less likely they will react to firing the weapon. When they are within approx. 15-25 meters, they will attempt to evade the projectile the instant the weapon is fired. Any closer, the projectile is usually fast enough reach the intended point of impact faster than the zeds can change course.
This occurs on any map, online or offline with the Berzerker, lvl. 0-25 using the VLAD-1000 nail-gun with single projectile firing mode, with or without upgrading the weapon. I can confirm this occurs on survival/endless Suicidal and HOE.
Perhaps this was an intentional mechanic, but I find it unnecessary and very frustrating. If this indeed some sort of bug, can anybody else replicate this?
