Crucible is really strange now. I think I am being cheated profoundly.

Is it normal to get killed in one pulse rifle shot? I have been watching the replays and doing the comparable math and if I am correct I have as few as 60 total hps including my shields is that normal?
I am getting downed in one or two shots from every weapon type in the entire game against every opponent at 90 or 100 resilience with all three mitigation mods on my chest armor is this normal? I see my body hits landing for 19 damage on each of three taps and that is one third of an opponents shield is that normal? I have to hit them with three to even five precision shots to kill them. I cant even step out to shoot anymore I just die instantly in less than a second.
When I play strikes or defiants I typically win by the difference of the other two players combined scores and they die like ten times each and I constantly have to wipe their asses for them the entire time. Whats going on?

Assuming you mean a "burst" from a pulse rifle its definitely possible to get 2 bursted from one with damage buffs and depending on the type of pulse rifle although being 1 shot/burst you were probably tagged by someone else at the same time.

Yes you need to hit precision hits to be competitive most of the time (being in range is very important too) and yes you need to be fast as the game is very quick in terms of dueling and most used guns have time to kill below 1 second.

Score is entirely irrelevant in pve, the goal is to just complete the objective and as for people dying we can usually be revived infinitely so players will play aggressively because the biggest punishment most of the time is to just press/hold E.

Kill clip+leg mods and good aim could do that. Also the dam resist mods on the chest dont work in pvp.

I did not know that the defensive mods are disabled. That is very helpful if that is true I will adjust my mods and just try to become faster. Thanks for you time and responses.

It could also be lag and server de-sync. It's fairly common to see in matches with people with poor connection, where you are seemingly killed in a single shot by weapons that should take at least 2 or more to kill anyone.

That is probably something to also consider in the SBMM vs CBMM discussions. Sometimes it's not a matter of skill range, it's an issue of connection quality.

I don't know if damage resist chest armour mods don't work, but last year the percentage damage resistance straight from Resilience doesn't apply in Crucible. I assume it's the same this year. So you're only getting a few pips of health/shields or whatever from 90-100 resil.

If the mod states combatants it is not meant to work in pvp. so stuff like sniper dam resist dont work in pvp. why most pvpers would opt to run unflinching mods.
