Ghosting needs fixed

Probably get a nice "this thread belongs here" message or something but that's a crock because this is not a complaint or moan or whatever it's just straight garbage that needs fixed ASAP. Tired of trying to play the showdowns and running into a player who for whatever reason seems start blinking like a ghost in pacman just long enough so I can't shoot him yet somehow he can shoot me. I mean please R* by all means explain this ghost immunity system? Are you as the player "ghosted" and unable to shoot people for a few seconds after respawning or something to prevent spawning in and killing someone? What's up with this, I know I can't be the only one experiencing this

That's spawn immunity. They can't hurt you, you can't hurt them. It lasts about 4-5 seconds after they appear, then it goes away. During that time you both line up headshots on one another, then blow each others' heads off the moment it goes away.

I have been shot while they are ghosted though, also have encountered people that seem to be able to do it on command

It's somehow also possible in freedom. Someone parleyed to me after I revenge killed him a few times. 2 minutes left and he killed me. I had the menu open so I'm 100% sure it wasn't over. Unless there is something I missed I have to say there is a glitch.

 

I also encountered what OP describes in Showdown so something seems buggy about this system.

I've experienced this too. Basically the spawn system ain't too great and can spawn enemies literally right next to you. People have spawn immunity to prevent them getting instakilled but it then leads to the scenarios that you described where a player can spawn close to you and kill you before immunity wears off ( generally like 3 seconds )

Yep, 100%.   I think they are manipulating the Stranger missions to do this but ive had limited experience with it so i may be wrong but that is the conclusion i came to.   Same situation though, dude came and shot me while i was fishing so i wrecked his life for the next 5 minutes straight then he went into parlay. Next thing i know he was shooting me again so i once again start to destroy him, we happened to be close to a stranger mission and he would go into that area and start becoming a ghost( this is why i assumed he was starting the mission but then he would get far enough away from the mission and could start shooting me again only to run back to the stranger mission area and go back to being a ghost as soon as he fired off a few shots.  So i could be off base but it seemed it was mission related and i havnt had it happen elsewhere.

I came across a player a while back who was ghosted and I couldn’t lock on to him, don’t know how he did it. It was in free roam.

 

And no, he wasn’t just spawning in. He came running at me moving zigzag - I believe my bullets could damage him, but no lock on so it was really hard to hit him. Then when he got close enough - BAM he shot me.

 

It must’ve been some kind of cheat, but he’s the only player I’ve come across who did it.

That's the same thing I do when I have slippery dead eye on. You sure he didn't have dead eye on?

 

You can counter it by tackling them.

I know there is a "ghost" glitch that involves 2 people you can bring your weapons in free roam and stuff but do missions etc but whatever

 Perhaps, but I have a different experience. The guy who killed me was at his camp hiding, then sneaked up on me to kill me ( with a bow btw).

Definitely weren't close to any Stranger Mission, he also seemed to play alone so I think I'd rule out a posse glitch.

His buddy could of left you never know. Gaming especially online gaming is getting sad nowadays because everyone looks for exploits
