Why do my shots miss at long range? Do bullets drop now?

Yes. Since the early-October update, bullets from firearms are no longer instant: they take time to reach the target and drop slightly over distance. Arrows, bolts and spears drop more than before.

What this means in practice.

• At long range, aim a little above the target.

• Lead moving targets - aim where they'll be.

• Shooting from a moving vehicle or train, your bullets don't carry the vehicle's speed, so lead even more.

• The hit marker appears when the bullet actually lands, not the moment you fire.

• Since update 1.15, hits on players in vehicles, copters and on trains register more reliably.
