Tarkov's Crazy "One Shot" Bug Uncovered...!

Summary

This video discusses two major bugs in *Escape from Tarkov*. The first is a fix for a problem where high-pen bullets would not damage the thorax if they passed through the arm first. The second is a 'One Tap' bug where players are killed by a single shot to the neck, even when wearing armor. This occurs when the neck and thorax hitboxes overlap, causing double damage. High-pen rounds, like M80 and BP, can exploit this issue, leading to one-shot kills. The video emphasizes the importance of understanding these mechanics and the potential for future fixes from BSG.

Takeaways

• 😀 The Thorax One-Tap Bug occurs when high-pen bullets hit both the neck and thorax hitboxes simultaneously, resulting in double damage.
• 😀 BSG recently fixed a bug where bullets passing through the arm before hitting the thorax armor would not deal damage, improving armor hitbox interactions.
• 😀 The fix from BSG ensures high-pen bullets, such as 5.56 SSAP and .338 Lapua Magnum, will now penetrate armor correctly when passing through the arm.
• 😀 The neck hitbox was reallocated to the thorax, leading to unintended one-shot deaths even through armor when high-damage rounds are involved.
• 😀 High-pen rounds like M80, BP, and 7.62x51 NATO can cause unexpected one-tap kills if they go through armor and interact with the neck hitbox.
• 😀 The double damage bug specifically happens when a bullet goes through the front plate armor and the neck simultaneously, amplifying the damage.
• 😀 Players have been reporting that bullets like 5.56 SSAP, despite their damage rating, can cause double damage due to this bug when hitting the neck and thorax.
• 😀 The problem primarily occurs when the bullet's damage exceeds the normal damage threshold, allowing it to effectively 'double up' after interacting with both armor layers.
• 😀 Armor mechanics are heavily influenced by how bullets interact with multiple hitboxes, and this issue with the neck/thorax hitbox has affected how armor behaves.
• 😀 The solution involves careful positioning to avoid shots to the neck and front plate simultaneously, but high-pen rounds remain a risk until the bug is addressed.

Q & A

What is the main issue discussed in the video?

The video discusses two main issues in the game: the arm and plate bug, and the thorax one-tap bug that occurs due to hitbox interactions.

What caused the arm and plate bug in the game?

The arm and plate bug was caused by a flaw where high-pen bullets passing through the arm before hitting the thorax armor would get absorbed by the arm hitbox, preventing damage to the thorax.

How was the arm and plate bug fixed?

The bug was fixed in a recent patch, ensuring that bullets properly deal damage to the thorax even if they pass through the arm first, resolving the previous issue where damage was absorbed by the arm.

What damage did the SSAP bullets deal in the testing?

In the testing, the SSAP bullets dealt 38 damage to the thorax, which is the expected amount of damage for this round.

How does the thorax one-tap bug occur?

The thorax one-tap bug occurs when high-damage, high-pen bullets hit both the neck and thorax hitboxes at the same time. This interaction leads to double damage, allowing the bullet to kill in a single shot even through class 5 armor.

What is the relationship between the neck hitbox and the thorax hitbox in the one-tap bug?

The neck hitbox was redistributed to the thorax hitbox, and when a bullet hits both the neck and thorax hitboxes simultaneously (especially with front plate armor), it causes double damage.

Why does the double damage bug only occur when the front plate has durability?

The double damage bug only happens when the front plate has durability because the bullet passes through both the neck and thorax hitboxes at the same time, with the front plate being involved in the interaction. Once the front plate is damaged or removed, the bug no longer occurs.

Which ammunition types are most affected by the thorax one-tap bug?

High-pen and high-damage rounds, such as 7.62x39 BP, 7.62 NATO M80, and SSAP, are most affected by the thorax one-tap bug, as their damage can be doubled when hitting the neck and thorax simultaneously.

What is the primary reason for the one-tap kill despite wearing armor?

The primary reason for the one-tap kill is the overlapping of the neck and thorax hitboxes, which results in double damage. This allows even high-pen ammo with moderate damage to kill in a single shot.

What advice is given to players in light of these bugs?

Players are advised to be aware of these bugs and understand why they may experience one-tap kills from high-pen ammunition. They are also encouraged to record clips to better understand and report the issue to the developers for a potential fix.
