Thread: Commando Bug, Thunderheart please read
As any commando will tell you, we never use Acid rifles becuase they miss at an alarming rate, 50% or more at optimal range. And I think I have figured out why.
At Master commando level, looking at the skill list, Heavy Acid Rifle Accuracy is list twice. One right after the other. The 1st says Heavy Rifle Accuracy 70%, the 2nd says Heavy Acid Rifle Accuracy 10%. When the mouse is moved over these entries, the description is exactly the same.
I believe this is the cause of our heavy miss rate with this weapon. Either the 2 numbers are being averaged to 40%, or the 10% is being used. Either way this seems a likely cause for our unusually high miss rate.
I have double checked, and neither of these are the entries for HeavyAcid beam, as there is a entry further up for acid beam accuracy (50% at master level).
Please, if you can, have someone look in to this double entry of the same skill, and see if it could be the cause of the miss rate of this weapon.
That's a known bug. The accuracy mod you get at Novice is treated differently than the one you get in the HAR tree.
That said, the ones you get from the HAR tree do not work (or at least they don't seem to work to work...though I don't think there's been an official test of Novice vs Ordnance Manufacturer).
