Grandeur sometimes not dealing full Damage


(Detheroc) #1

Hello,
So me and my friend have noticed that the Grandeur doesnt deal full damage at all times. It is supposed to deal 40 damage, yet more often than not i need 4 shots to kill Arty and Skyhammer, no tryhard perk. They seem to have 4-5 health left after the third shot. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. And keep in mind, there wasnt enough time for them to regen between shots, no tryhard perk, I get 120 XP on kill after 4 shots, meaning they had 120 health. There was no way it would be damage falloff either, as they were basically at point blank range.

yes, there seems to be some falloff, very annoying

The falloff damage statistics in this game still need to be calculated correctly and put into actual graphs that show how the weapons work (think Symthic), in the mean time yes we will never truly know unless the community pitches in and makes graphs to show how each weapon behaves. I would be willing to try to help out but at the same time I don’t think I will have the time to do it, most likely during spring break I can do some testing with someone if they would want to pitch in.

Leg shots cause less damage.

@NxA_Noxie looks like someone else is reporting the same thing I reported.

For reference guys, it isn’t falloff distance. I can still clean single headshot an enemy Aura from 200+ metres away and get a kill, and last night I was constantly double headshotting Vassili’s from a huge distance away.

It just feels like the body hitboxes have changed and that it is registering limb shots instead of body shots. Apparently limb shots are a thing in Dirty Bomb, and do less damage than body shots.

Good to know that there are damage differences. Thanks guys.

I don’t think we know. There’s nothing on the weaponstats page about it so I’m not sure any way. Might need to load up a server with a friend and test it out.

I don’t think grandeur has falloff. Does it?

No it doesn’t.
