Being a lone gunman is harder than it looks, and no one knows that better than the luckless snipers of Shadows of Doubt. Turns out the game's sharpshooter assassins—added last month—aren't so sharp after all.
They're trapped in a loop of missing their targets, leaving behind literal mountains of spent bullet casings as they try and fail to pull off headshots (via RPS).
The problem was pointed out by the devs in a recent update on Steam. «Reports of Sharpshooter Assassins missing their intended targets have been circulating around the city,» goes the post, «leaving piles of shell casings everywhere.
The department is currently seeking a fix for these less than accurate shooters.» Which is almost a shame, honestly. One of the beautiful things about Shadows of Doubt's infini-immersive sim nature is that all its procgen murders actually have to happen.
The game doesn't just magic up a corpse and a body of evidence out of nowhere. The crimes need to take place, meaning your wannabe Lyudmila Pavlichenkos have to set up in a suitable location, aim, and fire.
