Catching stray bullets

[Saint Skeleton]

is the player character a bullet magnet or something?

I can be near a firefight or trying to walk away from one starting, still hidden, no one is aiming at me, heck im not even in their line of fire ... but im still getting hit and sometimes by some big rounds

I think some of the grunt AI are a little to accurate base line, because when aggro-ed they can nail you from across the mile you just ran to get away from them

tldr, a little frustrated from catching strays from a firefight im not involved in ... and its happening alot

Try to zig-zag when being shot at, I've evaded lots of bullets directly aimed at me from rifle squads appearing next to me around a corner or when using timed extraction

As long as there is some distance it is possible to evade direct shots from ground units, but once its from larger or flying units aiming down at you its near impossible to not get hit

Creating this post, you must be very talented in catching those strays

rude and also rude to assume im not zig zagging, I must have not been clear enough ... or perhaps you dont understand the concept of a stray

they arent shooting at me genius, but im still getting hit

I have seen that for some reasons (I think bugs) the soldiers can see you at long distance without the "?" warning, shoot you for one or two secs then go back to whatever they were doing in the first place.
Also their fight can get messy, and stray bullets are the norm then.
