I did not personally do this research, but here's a link to the original Reddit Post where I found this information. It appears to have been confirmed by at least one other person.

www.reddit.com/r/MECoOp/comments/69vuua/sharpshooter_lockon_time_also_affected_by_sp/

TLDR: similarly to armor DR and combo damage, the host's single player difficulty setting affects how quickly Outlaw Sharpshooters will shoot you after locking on. It ranges from 0.9 seconds (Insanity) to 3 seconds (Narrative)

I thought that post was referring to the enemy armor damage reduction values as a result of the host's single player difficulty. this post is just adding sharpshooter lock on time specifically to the pile of affected variables.

Someone cross-posted a video of the lockon time thing in one of our threads. I don't remember, because I was like "I don't even.." It wouldn't surprise me if that was not the only thing affected by the difficulty choice.

BW made innovated difficulty selection system where it makes balance out of both MP & SP difficulty selection.

Impressive!

Doesn't surprise me in the least. It's all tied to the same bug, so there probably are even more.

Yesterday I finally ran into a PuG-in-progress with the worst of the worst in lag where that actually happened... Now I know what you people mean by complaining about headshots not registering correctly off-host. Nothing did as a matter of fact, not even movement...
Also had my first connection lost since ages because of that match.

Yeah, I was getting so confused on the variability on this respawn. I've been using the Widow a lot lately. Pop the orb with it and sometimes I'd get two headshots before the orb came back. Other times I would not even be done with my first reload and he was shielded again.

Most of these SP difficulty-affected bugs have been at least a little funny / only minor inconveniences. This one is fucking not.

Though it will be interesting to see, which values will actually be the correct ones for Gold later on. Hardcore or even Insanity?
