[Bug] Killing animal by bow sometimes zooms to and kills the wrong animal

13 votes

I have found that on rare occasions the bow shot appears to miss and kills a different animal and does the camera zoom effect.

At first I thought my shot was going high and killing a very unlucky animal but have had a single definite case were the raccoon that was killed was to my right about 90 degrees from the animal I was aiming at.

I had one shot where it looked like an animal jumped into the arrow to save its friend, lol. Maybe this happened to me too?

Even better, I was trying to hit a deer a distance away from me. In stealth and my arrow narrowly misses, then goes through the rock wall and continues flying through all the textures. This happened a few times.

I aimed at a deer in front of me, and the kill cam went to a baby deer many yards away behind rocks.

I lost track of my deer and went to release the draw on my arrow and accidentally shot the arrow way, way up at a high angle of about 70 degrees vertical or so. Kill cam came on and showed me a stellar shot directly into a baby deer that was way off to the right, from the direction I was headed in. He must have been using a gravity well or something, because he caught my arrow right in the head and I was not even aiming in his direction.

happens very often, have bow cross hairs on target and fire and it hits a different animal close by
