Aimee's SNITCH

(Akash) #1

What does the SNITCH do anyways??? So far only thing i noticed while using is it SPOTS mercs… Is that it?? i heard it reduces the life of a merc by 33%… How does this work?

It’s 25% and only for bullet damage. The range is not big at all so you have to place it smart.

(AnonOmis1000) #3

You don’t pay attention much do you?

(Akash) #4

So it doesnt reduce your life but reduces extra while bullet hitting?

yeaaa kinda just shoot and leave :smiley:

(AnonOmis1000) #6

No I mean, like you don’t read patch notes or anything do you?

It means mercs are prone to taking 25% more damage when they are spotted from whatever gun they are hit with.

So the M4 does 28hp damage per headshot. If you’re spotted and someone hits you in the head with the M4, it does 35 damage per shot instead (28 damage + 25%).

The Grandeur does 80hp damage per headshot. If spotted, they will now take 100hp damage per headshot, etc.

It increases damage dealt to you by 25%

For example: A Blishlok normally deals 18 body shot damage. If you were spotted by Aimee’s SNITCH, you would take 22.5 damage (18 * 1.25).

[SPOILER]Please correct me if I’m wrong, I didn’t actually read the SNITCH notes, so I’m assuming that @K-smooth is correct with the 25% extra damage.

Also, does anyone know if the damage is rounded?[/SPOILER]

Tip: Reading the merc ability in Barracks before you use it helps out to diminish ignorance and is faster than writing the question what Snitch device does on the forums and waiting until someone kindly answers the question. You don’t even have to read patch notes (which you should anyway to not waste your time of making threads regarding the new features).

@Akash also as a side note, when someone is detected by the snitch, it takes 1hp off them. So if someone is 1hp and they get detected by your snitch, you end up getting a snitch kill.

Been hearing this “25%” a lot, though i’ve been assuming its 33% since the wiki reads it, and that being shot by the PDP from memory removes something like 60hp while spotted.

But it does have infinite vertical spotting range. So chuck that thing as high as possible.

(Mrarauzz) #15

@Cam I’ve done testing and it’s 25%
@derpypenguinz19 I didn’t know that :0 still think the other recons are better tho :S

Bomb squad makes the snitch useless: I’ve never felt like i can’t remove one. (Compared to a heartbeat sensor) … sensor is still better, but snitch is a bit more fun to use.

(vdll) #17

Using SNITCH is like playing spy in TF2 - against more competent opponents it gets harder to use and is less effective.

(Melinder) #18

Until they fix the “infinite vertical spotting” bug, this will be forever viable, and from what I’ve been pulling off with Aimee and the PDP, boarderline OP.
