The Valorant Updated posted this video clip on Twitter, and you just… how. HOW. The clip shows the player point-blanking the enemy guy, the Clove character, with an entire clip, however, not a single bullet hits him: literally one. The player’s crosshair is right on them; it is not like they’re spraying. The kind of clip about which you would want to question your hit registration knowledge that you ever had, than maybe reality itself.
The tweet simply says, “How is this possible 😂,” though really, that has to be the only right answer. The replies are pure brilliance of confusion and relatability. A player named Kay says, “Happen to me thousands time,” and wow, mood. Another user, sybau, said it was “rng jesus,” which honestly sometimes feels so true about tactical shooters. The randomness giveth and the randomness taketh away.
The good old ping excuses are popping up. Accurazed wrote, “Probably because of the ping. You didn’t even shoot in her pov,” which is the classic excuse for situations like these. But tiltTTV came back with, “Literally me when I play against someone 6 times my ping. I play on 9ms.” So even with good internet, this nonsense still happens. Just one of those Valorant things.
It is even better with more international attitude. Some of the replies are in Arabic: “خلها على ربك,” meaning “leave it to God.” There are also comments in Portuguese: “vazou minha tela,” literally “my screen leaked,” which is a hilarious take on saying “that’s literally me.” Then Brazilian player Crippado said, “Minha classic no clique direito é assim,” which means “My classic on right-click is like this.” The struggle is real worldwide.
Then there are replies that are just funny. Gankster said the player “got aura checked,” whatever that means. Then pennyzeretto said, “hitbox in a nutshell🔥.” Next, Liam_Y_Yanazu quotes JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: “In the flow of calamity, there is nobody who can attack me. Not a single person. -Wonder of U-,” which is ridiculously nerdy and somehow completely fitting for this scenario.
Quite substantial is The Crypto Philosopher’s speculation: “At least you know it’s not based on just what’s in the circle. Val actually does pin point per bullet and didn’t cut corners”. So, while this looks broken, it could actually be the game working as intended? Each bullet has its own calculation rather than just using a spread pattern, which just makes this clip even more statistically insane.
Can you imagine if this commenced traveling because Clove was the agent? A couple of Replies mention “Clove shot first” and “Clove bem assim,” meaning “Clove like this.” So maybe there is something about her hitbox or animations? Or just unbelievable luck?
The moment belongs to Valorant Infamy. That one game where you hit every shot and feel like a god; and the next game… you get this, where you do everything right, and the game just says no. It is frustrating. It is hilarious. And it is why we keep coming back. This ongoing rollercoaster from “I am the best player in the world” to “This game is broken; I’m uninstalling” within two rounds.
Most of the time, it would be good Valorant snappy gunplay, but sometimes the game fabricates moments that defy all logical thought. The fact that so many other players in replies are saying, “This is me,” or share their own stories tells this isn’t a onetime accrediting feeling. That’s what being in Valorant means-the instances where probability decides it wants an extended vacation.
On the brighter side, the gaming community is lovable because of clips like this one. All of us get together and have a laugh about how ridiculous this all is. Are we blaming the ping? Or are we blaming the hitboxes? Or is it just bad luck? We’ve all been there. And that means we’ll all be there again, probably in the next game. That’s just how tactical-shooter-life rolls.
