So Idk if this is intended or not!!

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!

This almost makes sense , the sickle just wipes you but I always assumed it was maybe due to running fearless

I don’t run fearless tho.

Adrenal boost, fast hands, long jump

And this Holiday coming up won’t help either!!!
Already had the same Person call the last 5 days looking for a Van they will never be able to get!!
Lol!!

Vans are a hot ticket in the summer! If you get one you either reserved it months in advance or got lucky as fuck!!

I can imagine , my sister bought one and converted it herself , small kitchen and beds , solar panels etc

37, 40, and 51 are the base damage stats, so:

  • full combo = 128
  • full combo with alpha = 136.5
  • full combo with alpha & fearless = 150.2
  • full combo with alpha & fearless & assassin = 180.2

Something must not be working correctly.

Is anything ever as intended with this game?

These are just the numbers?

What would the full combo be with assassin to the back?

Using wrist blades, we found that Assassin works for the entire 180 degrees “behind” the fireteam’s character model, so it could be a collision detection issue.

The big things is I think the sickle is causing the spec to be active at any angle!

180.2

Without fearless?

I have a ps4 and PS5 at the moment, so I can test this right now.

163.8 “should” be the correct value.

Okay! So that’s weird! I understand with Fearless being a 3 tap to every character! But Not without!

I feel the sickle may have the same issue that the Katana has when the assassin spec is being used!

Also welcome to the PS5 club! Don’t forget to turn the frame rate cap off the if you hve the internet for it!!
