Community Response Surges
A major community poll has just wrapped, asking players if an anti-lead compensation system should be implemented in GunZ: The Duel. With 2,471 total votes, the results clearly show that this is a topic players care deeply about.
The Results
“Do you think an anti-lead compensation system should be implemented?”
- Yes, it’s necessary – 1,369 votes (55%)
- No, it’s not necessary – 117 votes (5%)
- It should be an option when creating a room – 985 votes (40%)
The winning choice, with 55% of the total vote, supports full implementation of anti-lead—a system that helps synchronize hit registration in real-time, giving attackers more accurate outcomes.
At the same time, a significant portion of the community—40%—expressed interest in making it a room-based option, suggesting the player base is divided between global enforcement and customizable gameplay.
What Is Anti-Lead?
For those new to the discussion, anti-lead is a network compensation system that helps reduce desync in combat. It ensures that shots fired by an attacker register correctly on their screen, even in the face of varied ping and latency.
While effective for consistency, anti-lead systems can also lead to hits registering on players who believe they’ve successfully dodged or taken cover—a frequent point of tension in competitive PvP.
A Divided Preference
The results show a clear majority in favor of implementation, but the nearly 1,000 votes for a customizable option reveal a growing desire for flexibility in matchmaking and room creation. This could open the door for a hybrid solution, where server-wide settings and room-based toggles coexist.
What Comes Next?
While no formal response has been issued yet, the poll data gives the development team a clear directive:
- Anti-lead is important to most of the player base.
- Many players value having control over its use.
- Only a small minority are fully opposed.
We can expect PD Max and the team to review these results and return with a follow-up plan or statement in a future PD Notes update.
Closing Thoughts
The high engagement with this poll is a testament to the community’s passion and investment in GunZ: The Duel. Whether through fixed systems or flexible room-based options, it’s clear that fairness and competitive integrity remain top priorities for players.
More updates are expected soon—until then, stay sharp and keep practicing your K-style.
