Not gonna call hack straight away but a suspicion

[uri]

A player I wont name yet (and havnt reported yet will get some feedback first).. But every time i face them.. after thier shield breaks my damage with shotgun goes down to 7 per pellet (im running orange heavy scattergun), and my smg down to 14 per shot (running purple Sub-carbine SMG)... thats more then a 90% decrease and looking at his perks that he has selected can no where near account for that amount of decrease, nor his shield choice. Weapons are two purples from what i could see but i dont believe there are weapon stats reducing damage taken?..

My question can anyone enlighten me to how my damage is reduced by such a huge margin and i havnt come across it on any other player ive faced.

Or should I be reporting this person.

im certain its not just that one player it happens regularly when shields drop shotgun dmg is crap, which is why you have and smg/lmg/ or something in your other hand, you can swap weapons on the fly you know.

also its something to note that you can spec into some abilitys that reduce damage some by as much as 33% when your shields break or something to that affect....

I think you misread my post.. i stated that using my SMG on him was only doing 14 dmg per tick.. and the shotgun went from 170 dmg per pellet to 7 dmg per pellet.. like i said thats something like a 99.5% decrease in damage.. which .. is unobtainable with any combination as far as I know.. not to mention after looking at his shields(shield was a respark regenerator) and his perks.. of which only 2 reduced dmg taken and definately not by that much

There does appear to be a shield hack going around at a moment. A team mate and myself in a match last night pumped 2 full clips of a tachmag at close range into a guy that barely had his shield bar move.

Omg so many people are exploiting this, it's insane. Straight up head shots aren't one shotting with my bolt action. This is just the cherry on the cake for me.

Yeah, I know what glitch you are talking about, I've rAn into on guy that uses it every game I play him in, it gets annoying when I have to unload 2 clips of shotgun into( one being overcharge) and I barely kill him. I look at his perks, only two damage reductions, I'm starting to think it has to do with thick skin being applied more than once indefinitely after shield break.

That guy was probably firing back with a siphon nano gun and regenerated his shields. Yes Siphon is overpowered and is getting nerfed in the next patch.

I have a shield with 2008 capacity along with Fortitude and Thick Skinned I only get oneshotted if the sniper hitting me has lots of crit multipliers.

So, Syphon still can proc several times with a single shot?
Looks like that cooldown patch did it's job! (not).


(Haven't played for a while. It's still hilarious to see how still nothing is working as intended)

The patch you are referring to has not been implemented as of yet.

Now if you are referring to the patch that was supposed to make all shotgun proc chances based off of the rounds shot, vice the pellets in the shot, you are correct. However the only times this is supposedly happening is with one type of Sawed off and it is a glitch.



On a different note, I ran into a couple of REALLY suspicious players last night on Observatory. Like has been said already, I emptied two 75 round mags from a Tagmag into him and barely moved his shield. He had an electrical nano VBI SMG...
