I think there is something going on in the background with precision damage. I consistently have issues with outlaw procing on my redrix. I can tell I got a precision kill as it does the animation on the enemy I killed (such as cabal helmets poping off) yet outlaw won't register the precision kill. Or I will start a reload expecting it to be quick as outlaw should have been activated, but there will be a delay and outlaw will show up on the left of my screen halfway through the reload animation. Thankfully desperado will still kick in after the reload, I just have to suffer through that slow reload animation. I have also found there to be times (mostly when I'm using hand canons) that I will kill an enemy with a precision kill (again based on the precision kill animation of the enemy) but the damage numbers that pop up are not displayed as a Crit and it will just show as normal damage.

Do you hip-fire a lot? I’ve noticed the game has a serious issue with counting hip-fire precision kills as actual precision kills. It can say you landed the crit and show the proper animation, but it won’t activate Outlaw or any of those other perks.

No this has purely been when ADS for me. Oddly enough I have never had a problem with it registering on a hip fire precision kill.

Interesting, I did not know this: I do use hip fire with precision weapons on some guns, although not usually on ones that have Dragonfly so hard to tell in the heat of combat if I hit my crits or not.

It’s still a bit finicky about registering precision shots even when you ADS, but it’s definitely worse when you hip-fire. I usually hip-fire when I play without a HUD, and it seems like 80% of the time it doesn’t trigger Outlaw or Dragonfly on headshots. Not really sure what they can do about it though, lol.
