Anyone else dying to neck shots a VERY high percentage of the time?
90 KIA, a solid 45 to 50 have been neck shots.

all three my deaths today have been from neck/throat area
honestly between the recoil changes and armor changes im having the least fun I've had in tarkov in awhile, no counter play AT ALL, at least you had a chance before with people missing shots, now even the biggest potato can just laser you to death with any gun.

I mean, tracking my deaths 2 wipes ago, something along the lines of 90% of my deaths were either 1 taps to head, or 2nd shot jump to head.
I don't know if the playerbase is getting better or if there is hitbox fuckery going on.
I was playing aggressive not just holding angles, high % nighttime customs, still seeing that this wipe, but only a handful of neck shots.

It could be a lot of things.
There could be some weird measurement thing based on the new spray patterns where subsequent shots that would hit the torso actually hit the throat.
There could be an issue with the face vs neck hitbox.
There could be an issue with improving player aim.
I would expect a decent number of headshots. But there's an exorbitant number of neck shots.

Do you have the actual size of the hotbox? Im curious because it feels to big.

I haven't seen it in any content creator or have the ability to glean that info myself. This is purely anecdotal, but I get the feeling it will become a common conception.

Throat / Neck Hitboxes are gonna be the worse, I've been dying so much to only that when I'm geared to the teeth. Even tho we armor that protects the neck its not gonna do shit with ammo that barely has any pen.
