Buh-Bye

Perfectly possible without cheats.

1 shots are rare in the cases where they should be rare....

If someone unloads into your back... you might die in one hit, or a light mech standing still, or someone gets lucky and takes off your head.

[Dwarfling]

You can die in one shot if someone unloads 2xgauss in your cockpit.

I don't think it does yet, hopefully the terrible server side authorization will help (although it has not stopped the aimbot/radar hack).

I've run into a one shot kill, but it was perfectly plausible. I've only seen blatant cheating one time in several months, and the account disappeared, so I have a feeling it got removed.

I know with some deaths you're really left wondering, how the heck did that happen?

My two favourite cases where "cheater!" was the first thought that had crossed my mind: one was a a one-on-one fight, we were both the last mechs standing, I had my back to the opponent who somehow took out my cockpit with one hit... with my back turned? I thought maybe the ammo in my head had blown up, but this was my Laser-cat. Latency issue or netcode issue maybe.

The other instant was in my Streakcat. I ambushed an Awesome and chain-fired my streaks to keep his mech shaking. Running full tilt, 84.4km/p (315XL with speed tweak) at a 90 degree angle to him, he looked at me, fired x4 Large Lasers and scooped out my cockpit without hitting anywhere else on my mech. I thought surely between the running, the shaking, and the inherent nature of lasers to paint a target his shot should have been impossible... but alas. That same Awesome would have 4 kills total, including a commando by also taking out it's cockpit... it too was in full a tilt run. I guess he's a Special Forces sharpshooter or something. (I really wish I had recorded this one, I would have submitted it for review)

I personally have had one-in-a-million shots as well, cockpitting an Atlas with x2 AC20s as it peaked up over a hill, and cockpitting a fellow Gausspult in a 1,000m shootout. At a little over 800 matches, I've pretty well seen it all. I have an eerie feeling that some people already have third-party programs already aiding them, but a one-shot kill cheat would be too easy to detect at this stage of the game.

A one shot kill yes. I was in a match and reported the player who one shot myself and 3 other team mates. I run in a fully armored Atlas and was cored(NOT head capped) in a single salvo.

I would like to drop 3 points:

1. It is against the forum policies to "call-out" people by name; "naming and shaming" is a violation of the website's Terms of Use/Code of Conduct.

2. Heads will go "pop" in one shot if they are hit with a 35+ point Alpha Strike in the correct hitbox.

3. Sometimes there are unexplained deaths that should not happen, and they are best reported by sending an Email to <support@mwomercs.com> and explaining the situation (the other player involved, the time/date of the match and timezone you're in, the map, and a brief description of your experience). That way, Support can see if there are any patterns or important info to pass along to administrators,

2 AC20s can headshot a mech in 1 firing, as can 4 large lasers.

[Deathsiege]

I've noticed a lot of uber builds lately that can be deadly in a shot or two. Note it, changed your game play style, repair and reload, go back in and destroy!

2x AC/20 sends their regards.

Send info to support about it. If you took two heavy rounds to the face well that's the breaks.

[Stone Wall]

in MW3, they used 3 uac20's.

[Insidious Johnson]

Given the state of the game, it is wiser to yell "bug" than "cheat". Also, one makes you look smarter than the other.

[Coolant]

Always happens, get killed easily, start crying, "Hack!"

And that's even ignoring the "I don't really understand the game, I died, therefore someone was cheating" level seen here.

Let me think of the combo,

2PPC/ERPPCs+1 Gauss Rifle.
2 Large Pulse Lasers + 1 AC20/Gauss Rifle
8 Medium Lasers
8 Medium Pulse lasers

Basically anything that totals up to 35+ or more damage can one shot any mech if it hits the head.

[Stone Wall]

this could also be an issue with frame rate. if your FPS is chugging, then you won't see all the damage that is being dealt to you.
