Summary
This issue has been flagged as critical last year, and since it has been closed I wanted to make an updated version of the issue with all the info that we know.
- This happens on all platforms
- This happens on UEFN/Creative maps only, BR is not affected
- Players derender at 150m, but not always. The reason is unknown
- Player shots will not be dealt to another player that is further than 150m
- Players won’t hear the shots coming from 150+m
- Some weapons fire seem to reach more than this 150m cap, but its unknown whether they do damage (compare ranger AR with explosive repeater)
- The issue is both visual and functional.
- Some weapons do work for a longer distance, like the Huntress DMR
