Combat Medic Archive

I would like to know what the range is on the poisons that you throw. I have been repeatedly hit with poisons from combat medics further away than 64m. Is this the way it is intended to work, or is it a bug that is being exploited by some? Please dont flame me, i am trying to get informed about how your class works. Thank you.

as far as I'm aware only the base range when making poisons has been capped at 48m to a Master CM that a max range of 96m we can throw to.

So a combat medic essentially has an attack range of 96m?

Master CMs.. yes, however effectiveness is effectedat anything that can go that range and the poisons tend to be very weak, they are most effective around the 65m mark.

The last patch was supposed to cap poisons and diseases at 64m. Instead ranged heals now have a shorter distance than what they are supposed to. This has been reported and Thunderheart has seen the thread. I am waiting for a response.

All of my poisons and diseases are capped at 64m. I always get the 'you are out of range' message if i'm at 65+m.

Oh, and they did mess up ranged stims. I don't use any bio-cloathing to increase my range, so maybe a bug still exists that allows some CMs to toss at > 64m.

I've seen a couple poisons go beyond 64m. Those poisons have greatly reduced effectiveness though.

I was wondering if the nerf on ranged healing (not poison) was deilberate though... Because if they are maxxing out distance at 64m then you're only buying an extra 16m realistically at MCM.
