PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds bug: Your gun isn’t aiming where you think it is

A gun’s sight works because the barrel and any scoping mechanisms are all connected together as one singular, ridged structure … except in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

Developer Bluehole has found a bug in its Battle Royale-like online shooter (where 100 players must kill one another to be the last person standing) that causes the barrel of a weapon to aim in a different place than where you are targeting. If you are sitting still, your intended aim and actual aim will line up. But as soon as you begin moving or firing the gun, the barrel seemingly comes unglued from the sights and targets left, right, or above true center. This could be responsible for some of the missed shots that players may have previously blamed on lag — although, 90 percent of my matches still have obvious connection problems.
