Explain to me how this makes sense

[Squidward]

Ok let me expand on what I am saying...


So lets assume that the player has 100 shield and 50 hp.

From the first shot which was for 96 he would be on 4 shield

Then from the second shot I think the game isn't smart enough to register the fact he is only on 4 shield but you dealt 123 damage so instead of taking away the shield and applying 119 damage to him the game deducts it from the shield value so now he is on 50 hp

You shoot him for 20 and then Squidward finishes him off with 30 damage.

That is what I think happened in that scenario

thats not how fortnite works @valence...

what it looks like, is when you hit someone for 96 damage, it was the guy who you already downed from the beginning, since he falls in front of the alive guy. By that time, dealing 96 damage to the downed guy probably should have elim'd the him, but I'm pretty sure you tagged half of your shot onto the downed guy, and half onto the guy that was still alive at the back, and the game only showed it in 1 damage counter
