Since Uprising, I've seen MD rounds explode plenty close to targets and not deliver damage. Yes, I am taking into consideration the reduced splash radius.

There exists some but where the round will appear to explode, but not deliver any dame to anything around it. This happens only occasionally.

This is above and beyond the pre-Uprising bug where mass driver rounds would fail to detonate on some surfaces.

At first I thought they just overdid the nerf, but after further testing I realized it's just broke.

I've seen the smoke from an explosion engulf my target and they take no damage. Even with reduced blast radius it should have hit.

The smoke trail does not go to the point of impact. It's particularly bad when fighting on level surfaces. I think it's because a slight difference from perceived angle makes more difference on a vertical surface than in you're on higher ground.

Flight time of the shot is longer than that of the smoke trail. This is significant since mass drivers require leading a target. If you lead and the smoke trail hits at their feet, then the explosion happens .5 -1 second later 5 meters away from where the smoke hit, then you can't hurt anything because the blast radius for a fully upgraded Freedom MD is only about 5 m and the splash damage on a Boundless MD is about as effective as tickling them to death.

Your only hope is that they laugh so hard at your attempts that they **** themselves and you can melee them as they try to keep the urine off their gaming chair.
