Alright, some of you may know already the factors and stuff about stagger..
We've done some testing using both Shotguns with around 1.4k Impact force and an Oxeye with 1.7k Impact force..
Based on the test we did, the Oxeye will stagger anyone provided that it scores a direct hit. Anything other than a direct hit will only score a damage and no stagger at all. You will still get a notification that it hit but it wont mean a stagger.
Stagger can easily be avoided by changing direction quickly. You will still get damaged but it wont be a direct hit.
Shotguns, on the other hand will most of the time score a direct hit and stagger your target due to multiple projectiles launched.
This can also be true with Sniper rifles.
Its just speculation but it might be how latency/lag can affect the gameplay, it might be that the servers will count it as a hit and wont count it as a direct hit.
