Everything about S.N.I.T.C.H

(Drac0rion) #1

I like stats, I like to know what I’m playing against, so please, tell me every little thing about the Snitch device. :slight_smile:

From my experience so far:
Spotting it without Bomb squad is extremely annoying to me, HB sensor at least has a clear pulse, but I haven’t noticed any difference between enemy and my own team snitch device even if I’ve spotted them.

I believe the bonus damage debuff is based on % and not a flat value, but I’m curious what it’s actual value is. As in how many mercs can be one shot by a bolt action rifle once under the debuff? Will Aimee Fel-ix snipers even need to bother with headshots anymore if they manage to apply the buff?

Another thing I noticed on Chapel(most likely not map specific), enemy Aimee had her snitch thrown near a rooftop and it would still detect me from I assume what it’s max range is. Does Snitch device not have a vertical radius?

I’ve been trying to pin down the specifics on the SNITCH as well. Regarding the vertical range, I’ve seen people throw them onto the top of Execution mode pylons, and they’d still spot people below. It also seems like they require line-of-sight to spot/debilitate, unlike HB sensors.

As for spotting SNITCHes, I’ve been trying to get an eye for it. There’s really not much more you can do than train yourself, if you didn’t see it in motion. I think they could afford some sort of pulse, though it may unbalance the cooldown… just speculating.

When it applies the spotting/debuff effect, it deals 1 damage which can actually kill someone:

According to the Wikia, being Debilitated causes you to take 33% increased damage. If this is accurate information, it means the FEL-IX would deal 105 damage on body shot. Have not played Aimee, have not confirmed.

It seems to have a very odd detection area. I’ve been right on top of them and not get detected, but I’ve also been detected half the map away. It also seems to only debilitate half the time when it does detect someone. We need to either get specifics from SD, because at this point in time I’m assuming it’s bugged.

I’d like to know how far in front of it is still inside the detection area. One thing’s for sure is that like the HB Sensor, it ignores verticality so chuck them high where no one can find them.

It looks like the snitch device has infinite vertical range : https://www.reddit.com/r/Dirtybomb/comments/4dytjd/is_snitchs_vertical_range_longer_than_its/

Pretty sure it’s 25%, my Fel-ix shots cause 98 damage on a bodyshot.
