So!
I hate to be this guy or whatever! But this needed to be talked about or it might just be me!
Now I am currently at work so I can not provide proof
The assassin spec with the Alpha sickle seems to give you the boost no matter where you hit!
Now here me out before you comment some crazy shit
So It’s damage to the back of the ft that gets the boost. I understand this! The Alpha sickle has such a wild haymaker type swing that if you are directly on the ft the sickle is doing damage to the back and not the front of the player.
So at first I was downing public lobbies like they were nothing! Doing the jump and melee tactic! Trying for that back damage! But I was noticing even if I didn’t attack the back I was still 3 tapping Mudded up Dutches with the sickle to the front.
I just brushed it off as that they already had damage to them and couldn’t see it due to the mud!
So I was just thinking that! Until I played Private matches with a few buddies non forum users unfortunately!!
3 tapped a Mudded up Dutch 87 and my friend said he was at full health! And This player is a parry god mind you! So He was matching my jumps and making sure His back was nvr turned to me!
So we tested it after the reinforce and it seems that the sickle is able to get the boost from any angle on the ft!
In summary, I cant say if the spec or the weapon is breaking the spec! I need a tester that has all the numbers to truly test this, Because if it is broken and has a major exploit I would like the community and the Devs to know so it can be avoided and fixed!!
So @SkooLBoY_SkePtiK @DisturbedLlama
If you could look into this during ur next test session would be appreciated!
