It looks like you shot the rock whilst getting shot by a sniper. Oh the AI Sniper shot you lol. It’s kinda hard to tell but that’s what I’m assuming from the sounds I heard.
Confirmed cheats or BUG XD
Idk what the hell I just saw lmao.
Especially since some seconds are skipped.
I’m just confused.

It has been bad for lag the last couple of days

The video did not play smoothly for me, it just (always) jumped to the end when following said link, I tried it several times…
Is that:
the same game?

yup.
thanks dan, i wanted to see how it looked on your end
this is not hacks or snipers or whatever, this is a bad case of lag because the damage on this game is server sided. it goes both ways too. i was probably running into a wall on his screen and had he shot me, once I reconnected I would have been dead just like him.
honestly there’s no fix for this shit unless they make the damage client based which can then open the door for actual hacks were people can increase damage output using third party software or modified game files

I hope it was somebody’s momentary internet connection drop. Something simillar happened to me few times, here is one example. The player who did damage to me always dropped from the game before I died.
However it may be lag switch. I didn’t know it existed until Jelou mentioned it is used (he refers it as ping manipulation). Yes, HW switch sounds dumb and detectable, but you can use internet router to interrupt your connection by adding firewall rule for a moment or increase your ping. All you need is cheap computer with two network cards, Linux and tc.

No, it was purposely done because I love cheating specially against my friends.

Lag switches are very real 😁 you can buy them . People use them in ea sports ufc all the time , you are getting you’re ass kicked and then when you work them out and start winning it lags . To then stop lagging once they rock you . It doesn’t just stop either , the game has a couple of seconds delay , so they can even flick it on and off and you are out of sync

Yeah you probably have stock with them , if I’m buying one do you have a promo code for discount?
of course, but is exclusive for twitch subs
I ain’t falling for that one …again
Who tf uses Linux to play PHG?
Well I had a match exactly like this today, there was a huge bit of lag but my damage was still coming out, then said Pred was downed but it wasn’t, it was just walking, 3 of us were fine at that point, then the Preds body just ragdolled like someone stuck a firework up it’s ass, god it was funny, but I talked to the player via PSN and they understood what happened, but God did it give me stitches witnessing that first hand.

Linux is not used to play PHG, it is used to mess with internet connectivity.

Interesting! I never thought about that what I experience also could be done on purpose - it seems that my mind has a severe lack of criminal energy… :))
Sounds like first-hand knowledge to me, as it comes from someone who even writes using Linux on his Twitch channel.
Yes, I use Linux as my desktop.
To play P:HG I use Windows virtual machine running in my Linux. I would love to use Linux to play game, because virtualization adds overhead. However the game is not available for Linux.
I am software engineer and I own company which develop software for call centers. One part of the software is softphone. We use tc to simulate various network environments because voice traffic is very sensitive to packet loss and jitter.
I am also expert in networking, while I was teaching network engineering we did research on various QoS algorithms and kernel timing accuracy with one of my students for his thesis.
I bet if you buy some lag switch box then inside is SoC running Linux using tc.
If you are trying to accuse me that I use lag switch then it is same nonsense like accuse weapon engineer that he is killer because he knows exactly how weapon works.
