Fighting in Police Stations

[Graf-Kippe 2]

This week i had two very strange firefights in police stations.

 

Both times I clearly unloaded at least 5 bullets of my AKM into my enemy, and yes if my perspective was accurate I must have hit them.
Nevertheless they did not take damage, weirdly outside the police station I shoot realtively well with my AK.

So my question is if there are any known issues with "invisible walls" or similar things in police stations?

Or do you have any other explanation why this could happen, I mean enemies not taking damage even though you clearly hit them?

Cheers,

Kippe

I did one time kill another player in a police station, he was crouched with his hands on his head and was not responding to anything I said. I waited for a second for a typed response, after a good 10 seconds I decided to kill him, fearing it was a trap and he was relaying my location to his clan mates. I pulled out my mosin with scope and aimed the crosshairs right between his eyes, fired, (he had no helmet on whatsoever), and it appeared to do nothing to him. I was literally 5 feet away aimed between his eyes with a scoped mosin. I fired again, and the 2nd shot killed him instantly. But for some reason that first shot appeared to not register. Don't know if this is similar to what you experienced, but it was strange. Hope I helped.

I believe it has something to do with the structure of the building -- winding staircase, multiple rooms layered on top of each other.

I've encountered numerous fights in the police station and it's a 50/50 chance of me getting the results that should happen, sometimes bullets are blanks or disappear sometimes theirs do.

Maybe desync or a newer bug.

Last time I encountered and killed someone in a police station is a few months back.

Didn't have a problem back then. But was with an M4.

Yes

Did you see blood?  If you don't see blood (hit splatter) then you didn't hit / game didn't register.  Could have been lag/ desynch / general Dayz gnomes replacing your rifle with blanks.

 

depends on what range you were to them, and if you'd zeroed your scope to a different range (zero to 500+m with <20m range to target shouldn't miss unless you aim at top of head or something but if you're zeroed well past real range and zoomed in you may have missed).

 

i had a strange encounter once at NWAF when sitting in conifer trees.  I didn't have the trunk in front of me, but was partially concealed by branches and leaves.  I fired and did not see any smoke puff from bullet impact near / on my target, but I've heard that the hit indicator may have been removed in some previous/current patch...  I was at less than 20m and they were up against a wall.  with a 75 round mag I should have hit at least once with a controlled set of hip-fire bursts, but they survived that encounter.

 

My money is on glitch, but i've not identified hidden walls or clipping issues in buildings with firearms yet.  Swinging a melee weapon indoors though, and you'll just be scraping walls/ceiling the whole time.

yeah its kinda shitty fighting inside the police station. you shooting through the open door straight at the enemy, but he doesnt get hit. the building is buggy. thats why im not fighting inside this building

Some guy shot at me with the SMG inside a station and he did not hit me so maybe it was not just shit aim.

I did same kind of thread before. I shot all my bullets inside a police station to a guy, and he did the same until I killed him with an axe. People replies it's a bug, and I believe it's a bug too. There is some sort of invisible walls there.

That's what I meant, I clearly did not see any impact of my bullets, even though according to what was own on my scrren I should have killed him. I had iron sights on AK so no zeroing involved.

All went down in the Kamyshovo Police, me and 2 friends were coming back from Balota and decided to llot the place since all doors were closed (even though we didn't really need anything -.-). We appraoched the police from the back , entered and one of my buds wanted to check the situation from the top of the stairs, not really outside but where you can see in 3rd person. Suddenly one shot and boom he's dead. Meanwhile i was outside looting the cars and also gut a (mosin) shot but managed to get into the station and could patch me up. 

My 2nd friend got shot in the room on 2nd floor were usually the good weapons spawn, again through the window. So the guy must have been at an elevated position somewehere along the hills. I had an AK so i decided to wait it out , especially that this dude was insanely skillfull with that mosin. Saw him enter the small entrance eventually waited atop the stairs and scoped on the door from the small entrance to the hall. Saw him there, shot at least 6 rounds in controlled firing at him but he did not seem to care, he shot two times with his pistol and I was gone.

 

As posted previously had similar encounter on 2nd floor where i unlaoded 10 sks bullets and opponent just ran away, that time i managed to get him outside though

Well I guess i learned my lesson, no more fighting in Police stations ;)
