For hitscan weapons, the cleanest server-side approach is to treat every shot as an authoritative raycast: the client sends the fire event with the aim origin and forward vector, but the server re-runs the cast against its own snapshot of player hitboxes rather than trusting the client’s ray. The critical part is lag compensation — you can’t just check against current positions, or anyone on 60ms+ ping gets phantom shots. You need to replay enemy entities back to the exact server tick the shot was registered (think of how CS’s cl_showlagcompensation works), then cast against

From an engine perspective: Specular contrast and post-process passes must be decoupled from competitive visibility channels to prevent dark-corner target loss. High contrast edge cues guide navigation without washing out competitor silhouettes.
