Stenographer/Rolodexer Accuracy Improvement?

[ResonantAce]

Hello, I never encountered the issue on my first play-through but, and I don't know if it is because I'm now playing on a higher difficulty, but it seems the Stenographer is really inaccurate, at least against the Wall Puppets in the Offices? I fired a good 10 rounds at one before taking a step closer and getting instantly grabbed.

I don't know if I just got unlucky, but that much RNG and spread on the main gun definitely makes it feel reliable on higher difficulties, especially since unlike Normal there isn't an abundance of ammo if you did miss via RNG spread.

in setting, you can add a help to target; it's disabled by default

Yeah, my bad, I forgot to say I had the reticle turned on and even though it was directly on the wall puppet (the green one in particular on the wall outside the first save room in the Offices), it was missing multiple times in a row.

I've noticed that, too. Those enemies I've seen a letter go right through them without hitting them.

It seems aiming at their base has better results than aiming at their head.

What version are you on? I've had some reports of this and it seems to be related to several different issues that I've been slowly patching.

I am on BUILD ID 11764566, which was installed July 24th, 12:03 am. I'm not sure if there is a way to see the build ID in game as I could not find it in the menus.

Additionally, when I came to the curtain boss, it seemed that the eyes weren't being hit with the stenographer or the wrench at point blank either. and I resorted to using Punctuations I know I was playing at 1440p240Hz, and 100FOV and decreasing the FOV seemed to help with hit registration but it might just be me.

Edit: I'm not sure if it updated or was just bugged but I can now see on the title screen the Build is 1.0.7
