Marines' explosive bonus has half the promised effect on explosive turrets #789

Open WhenTanksFly opened 1 month ago

WhenTanksFly commented 1 month ago

Placed by Vegas, IAF High Velocity Sentry Cannon deals its base 60 damage, as predicted by the extended weapon stats view. As Jaeger, the stats display 60+40 damage for 100 total, but in-game it only deals 80 damage, unable to one-shot a 88 HP Drone on Brutal solo. Crash & Sarge: 60+20 damage told, 70 dealt.

Ideally I'd also want the bonus' effectiveness raised to a point where at least Jaeger's explosive sentry can one-shot 104 HP Drones on a direct hit on Brutal with 4+ players (it doesn't need to one-hit an entire horde though). Then again, those direct hits aren't all that easy to achieve...

Judging by https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1375321111 (Ctrl+F "Sentries") and https://steamcommunity.com/app/563560/discussions/2/1698294337792286677/?ctp=5#c3183485686827907114, explosive turrets' damage has always been +5 per skillpoint in explosives. Perhaps it's only the new descriptions that are wrong? (Or were they always wrong? I didn't check until a week after the descriptions update.)
