The splash damage in these weapons is in the low 100's so yea we are going to survive splash damage especially since we tend to fire the shot behind you instead of in front. If we do fire in front its to land a direct hit.
So sorry you are just mistaken. I've accidentally suicided by bouncing a round off a nearby structure when firing on another player trying to track them, so it can definitely hurt you. There is very little splash damage on these things though, at least on certain models with low skills.
There's little splash damage on yourself largely because you're rarely at the center of the explosion, so there's some amount of falloff already being applied and you're not taking the full splash value that you might cause to enemies.

That's even considering hitting the ground at there feet, which I have tried on numerous occasions with little or no success.
Not to sound mean, but you're not very good with the weapon if you're having trouble hitting people with splash. Either that, or you've got an excessively laggy connection. It's rare that a shot that should splash an enemy ends up not doing it, lolterrain explosion-blocking nonsense aside. |

No, that is literally dropping one right at their feet, though maybe a few feet behind them or next to them depending on how much jumping and dancing they're doing.
Yeah, and what I'm saying is I've been using the mass driver as my primary weapon for quite a while now, and I've experienced probably a 95+% success rate with rounds I know should hit with splash damage actually hitting with splash damage. It's not a rare occurrence to splash unless you're using the breach variant. |
