Health in PvP
How many shots does it take to kill someone in Comp with Jade Rabbit? I have 115 health stat and it kills me in 2 shots, igneous kills me in 2 shots. As far as I can tell I get 2 tapped by everything. If I use jade rabbit it takes 4-5 headshots to kill anyone even players that have below 30 for health stat. No I’m not missing any shots. Anytime an opposing player is afk standing still I shoot him right between the eyes with jade rabbit and it’s 4-5 shots. To me it’s showing a hit at least 2 times and if I continue shooting it’s like there are no bullets coming out of my gun. I mean close up with an smg aimed dead center and there is absolutely no hit marker, no damage and I’m dead in a split second. This is infuriating because other nights it’s like I’m not even trying and killing everyone. I don’t get it? Anyone else have this issue or no how to fix it?

Do you play on wifi? I used to had a router that caused this, even though my speed was 700/100 dl/ul and ping was 12-14ms. When I changed router, everything went back to normal (with same speeds). I bet that majority of cheater accusations is also because of this. People may play on gear that looks to work, but in reality it doesn’t. I see people who lag every day I play. When I look their crucible report it becomes obvious that they don’t cheat, but it feels so for example when their rose 1 shots me. Lag.

7 RepliesEdited by Raiyu: 8/11/2026 1:06:36 AMMost people will tell you to get good. Me on the other hand, I know it's not your fault. My aim is good, yet I get instant killed by literally everyone in every gun duel, even if I hit them first. My Internet is amazing, and I'm on xbox series x so everything is smooth as can be. It's the pvp balancing, it's awful. Bungie have NEVER been able to balance the pvp properly. It's never felt fair. The really good players out there like to say get good, or it's your aim, or you're talking nonesense there's no way bungie put hidden mechanics in the game to balance pvp because they can't be bothered, well, I'm no conspiracy theorist, but I believe Bungie did something really bad to the balancing side of things a long time ago, and they've never managed to get it right. I SWEAR TO GOD 90% OF ALL CONSOLE PLAYERS ARE USING THE XIM, ITS JUST SO OBVIOUS. Bungie, doesn't stop cheaters, doesn't balance pvp (and never has, ever) and doesn't give a damn (and never has).

1 ReplyYou will find that the majority of the players doing this are getting outlier protection (lowering their light level) to make the game think they are new player. This in turn makes them not only able to take more damage but also increase their damage. Sad but true, stay strong Guardian.

Probably lag. 0 shot you hit 5 headshots and someone dosent die from Jade.

Just wrong tho aren’t u

Health stat only helps regen… You aren’t hitting 4-5 Jade headshots for kills. 3 is enough.

4 Replies115 health stat may bump your shields up by 1 or 2 points. Nothing ground breaking when a gun hits like a truck on semi after a momentum buildup on a highway. I really noticed a real difference in 150 - 200 health. If its worth the compromises you have to decide. Jade hits like a truck, nothing you can do about that

6 RepliesEdited by Crisidelm: 8/9/2026 7:54:36 AMHealth stat bonus bump doesn't count in PvP, only PvE (this part specifically:"additional health when facing [b]combatants[/b]". Combatants means PvE enemies only). A Jade Rabbit kills a Guardian in 3 shots (as long as they are all crits and the Guardian doesn't have a sizeable overshield).

Edited by Gulf of Mexico: 8/11/2026 11:03:39 AMIt is frustrating. Destiny PvP is not a serious mode and not considered competitive. Bungie is good at PVE but PVP? Nope. The PvP team is out of touch and just made a bad PvP experience even worse. I’m sure they have talented people but they just could not deliver. Their matchmaking is to put the best players on one team and the worst players on the other. lol

Do you have fast internet?

1 ReplyAfaik health stats don’t affect your actual health or “blood”. Everyone has like 230/240 I forgot “blood”. Health stats affect your recovery time I think.

2 RepliesEdited by Griever: 8/9/2026 7:24:41 PMEither you need to improve your aim or you need to pick your fights better because Jade Rabbit is a 3 shot to the head, the only time it can 2 tap you is if the user has roughly 50% bonus damage or if they're really accurate with a sufficiently charged alt fire. If your crits are doing less than 77 (they could have damage resistance or reduced your damage through something like Sever) with Jade, you shouldn't win that fight. The only other explanation would be lag or hacks.
