Low Lvl Gun Damage Bug - Line up the Shot

#36300194045 03/22/2007 13:46:17 Low Lvl Gun Damage Bug - Line up the Shot

I have noticed that already month ago on another character but now that I hit 25 on Recursion I thought I'd pay Tengu a little visit, where I encountered that bug again.

Situation:

Load = Sniper (conceal, Concealed Shot, Line Up the Shot) + Pistols (Pistol Aerial, Pistol Slide)

Action: () ... Optional Action

(Firearms skill + )Conceal + Line Up the Shot + Conceal Shot + Power Chastity attacks

Outcome: Dramatically decreased damage output instead of dramatically increased one.

Normal damage with (full) combo: 200-250 with Concealed shot and 70+ damage with power Chastity
Bugged damage with (full) combo: 30-70 with Concealed shot and 8-25 damage with power Chastity

Normal damage with power Chastity: 25-40 damage

The bugged damage returns to normal after Line up the Shot is gone.

Evidence in photo (full combo):

I should have reported this month ago, really -_-

Wait, where is the difference between a 'normal' situation and a bugged one? Is it that you only experience this bug in constructs or is it something else?
The main thing you need to do when submitting a report like this is explain how to reproduce it. You've done a good job of explaining the situation but I can't see how you're causing a bugged result rather than a normal result.

Edit: Oh hey Godgiver, I just checked who I was talking to and now I feel silly for talking as if you're a noob :/

Lol, either way. Firstly, the normal situation is that the damage is unbugged (as stated what damage I do). I guess i'll try it out outside of the constructs on some NPCs too.
Secondly, I told how to reproduce it. Just be around lvl 25 and use a sniper load. Line up the shot bugs.... umm... does the rest.#

EDIT: Trying it out on Bathary Row Boys. Line up the shot didn't bug so far. I'll try out another gang later.

This has happened to me from time to time. It only happens (for me) with the Construct Boss. My usual moves have a set damage aginst his Level etc, but at time ill be doing nothing different and get a different damage outcome. I'm not so sure you can repro it, I think it's just some weird bug with the Bosses being 5 levels higher than you. Then again, someone could be having this problem with regular NPCs, I however have not.

I have been fighting him a lot lately with my alt.

My guess is he is using block tactics. SnipersEnd is a hacker, I hit him with a regular Logic Cannon 1.0 and it does about 140 points of damage then the next time I do it, it does 40 points of damage. So it probably is him using tactics rather than him being bugged, with Solid as a Sniper Line Up increases damage when I use it.

Darkhawk's Gallery | Section 9's Past | Metal Gear?! It's already active?!
There can only be room for one Snake, and one Big Boss!

Block tactic does not reduce the damage you do. Maybe Tengu uses Iron Body, but that wouldn't decrease the damage THAT much as it did there (226-> 66 damage). And the timing of the decreased damage and the timer for line up the shot accuracy are just too exact.

And yeah, it seems to only happen with Construct Bosses.
