It’s always been useful in figuring out if you need to lead or trail a target more in a shooter, but all these modern shooters have taken that bit out of the scoreboard.
Checking out The Finals and for the first few games, I thought it used projectiles for the guns because I hit more often shooting ahead of moving targets, only to find they are indeed hitscan and hit better when actually looking directly at the dude when nobody is lagging.
This drives me nuts in The Finals as well. I also really want to know what my opponents’ pings are, because sometimes it feels like they’re exploiting the unlagged netcode with high ping. Edit: And don’t give me a little 3 bar signal strength graph - I need numbers.
FYI also in case you didn’t know, the sniper rifle for light in The Finals is hitscan up to 40m away, then after that it has travel + bullet drop. This was introduced in a patch about 6 months ago. (I don’t think the Pike for medium is hitscan at any range… someone correct me though)

Pike is hitscan, as is any actual gun except the ks and sniper.
But i don’t think just showing ping will fix anything within the finals with how shit the servers have become over the last updates.
