Grenade and then exo-5 finished you?
Weird, though.

Somewhere a Sniper got + 25

Hello,

I was just on comms with a friend while we where on a domination in opposite sides and something really strange happened. He one shot my 1k HP suit with an exo 5 mass driver.

He told me he shot me once. I had no damage whatsoever. We are theorizing what it could be. The damage of the weapons do seem extremely heavy now and I speculate that there was a ninja damage buff or there is something wrong with the damage application system. There is no way a mass driver can deal 1k damage in one shot and here is the math for max possible damage:

Exo 5 damage = 254.1 damage (direct)
Profi 5 = + 15%
3 complex damage mods = 24.4
+20% to armor

254.1 x 1.59 = 404 direct damage.

Now lets say he headshot me 120% and lets take the damage

for the sake of argument I will augment the 404 damage by 120% which is the mass driver headshot damage. That would be a possible multiplier of 2.2 or .2 depending on how the game calculates (some games are different and I've seen it happen). In essences it would either be a bit more than double the damage or do 20% more damage and since I don't know how the game calculates the damage I'll just post the worst case scenario, a doubling of the damage.

404 % 2.2 = 888.8 Not enough to one shot my 1k HP suit.


TL;DR

There are some weird inconsistencies with how the damage is applied in the game. Time to Kill has certainly shortened making even the biggest protostompers to stop using proto because it's not necessary. There is the math of a specific situation that happened to me and it was about 10 mins ago.

Yeah yeah but you do the same with plasma cannon.

254 * 1.15 * 1.244 = 363 Base = Base

You don't add the modifiers, you multiply them.

The base is applied the your shields at 80%
The remainder is applied to your armor at 120%

Headshots are modified base damage.

Thanks, good to know. Maybe you should do a forum post about it. I would love to really understand how damage is modified

BTW is it?

(254*1.15)*1.244 or is it 254*(1.15*1.244) ?

I instakilled some dude at 70 m with my scrambler rifle earler today. No headshot gong or bonus WP, just +50...

This is starting to worry me.

Does not matter in which order you multiply, multiplication is commutative in nature.

120% is 1.2
(multiply 1.2 by 100 to get 120...)

I have an idea, someone has time to test?

I did it last night with my SCR. I knew it was a farthest shot by far for the game. So after the game, I looked what my farthest shot was; 178m... Even I was like... okay that's pushing it....

/me wishes for highly reproducible lab results on this matter
