I've been noticing this weird bug where enemies that are sitting at low hp, enough to be a one shot, not dying to that hit.
for example: Dodo has about 10 hp left, i hit it for 300 damage, it doesnt die but instead gets knocked down to 1 and it requires me to get an extra hit.

It causes a lot of unnecessary deaths since you take a little more risk cause you know "its a one shot".

Someone instantly accused me of cheating which i am not (i dont even know how to to be frank...) but it gave me an idea, that it might have something to do with my VPN.

Is there a known bug where the anti-cheat sees Nord VPN (what i'm using) as a cheat software?

The thing is, its a commonly used game mechanic (Bioshock for example has it) to make the game feel more thrilling when you survive with 1 HP instead of getting killed.

But usually its a mechanic FOR the player not against them.

That's why im so confused as to whats going on

It's probably some sort of a check that doesn't get triggered on the enemy

Basically something like

If health is below 0, trigger death sequence

This part probably get skipped for some reason, so you get enemies with 0 health still walking
