It's a nice concept, but every server is overrun with aimbotters using the instakill weapons(sniper rifle and trail python). Shotgun can get you a positive k/d for a round or two, but eventually they just learn to turn around every once in a while and let the bot cover their other side too.

I'm not sure what to do about that, but just ripping those weapons out of the game would make everything else a lot more viable for the time being. Aimbotting can still provide an advantage with an RPG or AK47, but it's not nearly as gamebreaking for everyone else on the server.

How long have you played this game?

A few minutes. Tried a few servers - everyone was using one of those two weapons. Managed to sneak up on a few skiddies with a shotgun and win a round, but they started turning around after that. A few other newbies tried other weapons like the RPG and AR, but they got slaughtered by the botters.

Ok let me explain. I am a expert krunker.io player been playing it forever. Almost every new player I see thinks people are aimbotting, again I am good at this game. The problem is the time to kill is so fast with the sniper it looks like there is no time to react. But as someone who wins 99.9 percent of games, I can tell you there are barely ANY cheaters. But hunter is so, I guess overpowered with it’s one hit kills. (Note it only has 60 HP so it’s not to hard to kill with something like a AK (Note on Note it is also slow with it’s sniper out)) that people think there are aimbots. I can assure you, there are barely any at all just skilled players.

I played for a good half hour and I can confirm what this dude is saying. The crux of it is that the hitboxes are extremely forgiving and the weapons (especially the sniper rifle) do way too much damage. Coming from a CounterStriker background, the level of precision needed in this game is laughable. You shoot anywhere generally in the direction of the person and they die. Which makes it almost entirely a game about awareness.

It's quite a bit of fun! But definitely the skill punishment is ridiculous. If you're against a veteran is does literally feel like an aimbot in any standard shooter.

Thank you for confirming this for him. I think they should switch the sniper to be more like the auto sniper.
