In a new devcast killcam was shown. On it you can see skin on the weapon and charm of the killer . Why not add extra information, like attachments on the weapon of your killer? Somewhere under skin+weapon image (look at the very high quality picture™).
Note: When you hover over the image you can see name of the attachment.
1 - Main sight. Hovering over it will reveal canted sights and top sights
2 - Magazine type
3 - Siderail attachment
4 - Underbarrel rail attachment
5 - Barrel attachment

haven't seen it yet, they have distance and "killed with headshot" things in there?

still would be cool to see the attachments, even if its like a click to open menu so it doesn't clog peoples screens if they don't give a fuck

#

I did want somethign to tell if you died to a headshot or not, but this looks good so far

that would be nice, but would also require more from the server. I was thinking just a binary switch of Headshot: Yes/No.
that said, knowing exactly how I died if I wanted too would be nice

#

I think maybe have that for only if the player dies to bullet damage

#

since explosive or impact death is different compared to bullets

ashen cosmos
#

well yes. but even that would just be how much % it did to you. it could work by only storing detailed info for like 5-10 seconds, and other wise, say if you are at 25% health the 75% would just be marked "previous damage"

#

it wouldn't be all that different from bullet damage since it has set damage and is not fragmentation they track

swift rock
#

right we have to take heal spamming into account as well

ashen cosmos
#

not really

#

well maybe

#

5-10 seconds should cover that anyway

#

it all depends on how that would effect the server

#

hopefully one day Null damage will finally have a name

#

from the looks of the kill cam UI there seems to be a placeholder that looks like an ammo box tho I am not sure what it means

#

assuming if Devs are planning to allow for certain guns to have different bullet type

Yall mean this?

#

Cause thats supposed to be for when you get crushed by a building

#

Idk why its like that but it just is

severe wigeon
#

Tells just about everything you want to know really

#

Who shot you, where they shot you, in what order they shot you (and in what order you shot them as well) and with what they shot you with

#

Its pretty neat and can discover some more apparent cheaters as well (ones that suspiciously hit every headshot in a row without fail)

how do you know if its a headshot? didnt play Apex so I dont know how the UI shows its info despite the image you posted.

ah

#

that could work as well which will take some time for people to get used to. or a setting could be implemented to toggle between detailed or simplified combat report

Seeing what attachments were equipped and if the final bullet was a headshot would be a nice addition. I'm all for the apex style kill log, knowing how you died is important.

ashen cosmos
#

would hopefully get rid of some frustration too, since you know exactly how they killed you so you can learn to mitigate that

I mean in that case, you know what is killing you.

More info for who wants more info is cool tho, if you don't read info, it's a you problem and don't be mad about it. HS indicator would be nice, since you have HS indicator for kills and hits, having it for death screen shouldn't be a biggie since AAA games have it for years

#

Gitgud messages does not justify anything tho

#

It isn't like 99% of the players have 0 deaths, most likely any player by now have seen at least one death screen
