Hi, I got Legshot 3 last night and after using it I can see no difference between Legshot 2 and Legsho 3. In fact they never even bothered to change the combat name you get when you hit, its the exact same as Legshot 2.


When I had Legshot 1 I got a message that "Your Legshot did 99 damage", with Legshot 2 I get a message "Your kneecap shot did 486 damage" and with Legshot 3 I get the message "Your kneecap shot did 296 damage"



Both Legshot 2 and Legshot 3 say "kneecap" and the damage is so close between the 2 it doesnt matter which one you use which leads me to believe that Legshot 2 and Legshot 3 are the same

Did some more field testing, Legshot2 and Legshot3 do the same amount of damage. No marked increase in damage with Legshot 3

Eh, did you just fire off one or two shots of each? Because they are just multipliers of your base damage. If your gun can do, say, 40-110 damage (just as an example) Legshot 2 will do a multiplier of some number in that range, and legshot 3 does a larger multiplier. If legshot 3 happens to go off on the number in that range that makes it do 400 damage (end result) and then you fire off a Legshot2 that uses a larger number in that range, both could do 400 damage. Yes, I know I garbled the heck out of that and even I can barely make sense of what I just said, so....


Otherwise, are you sure you did the right attack? The icons are similar, you might have dragged the wrong one into your hotbar.

I did plenty of testing, both Legshot2 and Legshot3 are in the same exact damage range.


If you have Carbineer, you can test it for yourself as well. I even typed the Macro /legshot3 in to be sure and I got the same exact damage.


Guys with Headshot3 are reporting a huge increase of damage from Headshot2, there is no noticable increase in damage with Legshot3.


Please someone else test this and post your results, we need this fixed

Have you guys noticed if it at least take less HAM for LegShot3 than 2??


I'm so close to getting this, but from what I've heard so far, I might be better off going for BurstShot instead.

You're better off with Burstshot anyway...

I didnt notice any difference in HAM cost either between Legshot2 and Legshot3, but if you want Cripple you need to start this tree eventually.



I will reconfirm HAM costs tomorrow

Ok, I just tested HAM cost between the 3 Legshot's


Legshot1 cost slightly more and Legshot2 and Legshot3 were identical in HAM cost


So Legshot2 and Legshot3 is identical in damage, identical in the combat text of "You Kneecap someone for X damage" and Legshot2 and Legshot3 is identical in HAM cost



Legshot3 is the exact same as Legshot2, its broke

I tested it myself today. I noticed no difference at all in damage. My max hit was virtually the same. As far as the HAM costs, I didnt notice a difference.

the legshot3 is certainly *not* working as an area/cone attack.
