So does detecting bandits through hearbeat actually work?

Recommended Posts

For those who don't know what I'm talking about

[NEW] Heartbeat when cursor on a player with very low humanity (heart beats faster the lower it is)

For some reason I'm always reminded of this feature when I actually stop playing. So, anyone here saved himself because of this. I'm not someone who shoots players on sight so this feature would be useful, if it actually works.

The biggest issue I saw going in with this change is roughly 9/10 of my deaths to bandits I was sniped. Most bandits prefer sniper rifles because there is little risk high reward. If I cannot see him, the heartbeat doesnt matter. If I ever do sneak up on one, however, I can see it's use.

Does this even work?

Both me and my brother are both bandits, we had about 9-15 kills each, and we both hang around each other but I never hear his heart beat, he never hears mine.

I have also bumped into other bandits who say they couldn't hear my sound before I killed them.

A lot do snipe tho, so it is very pointless at the end of the day. I think the purpose was so you cant sneak up on people or something.

Did you hover over them with your cursor?

I have this friend who have 95 kills(leaderboard #2) and yes, the heartbeat works.

U have have your cursor on the person, but the heartbeat itself is hard to hear.(it's quiet)

and my friend have tooooo low humanity that his heartbeat is like 5heartbeat per second :D

Oh and the range is pretty short.

it's like 5m.

So it's pretty much pointless unless u met an unarmed bandit
