Thread: Ranged attacks do different damage types?!
"What type of damage do creature ranged attacks do and is it the same type of damage for all BE pets and wild creatures?"
Bioengineered pets do kinetic damage. Wild animals do a variety of ranged damage types based on their creature type.

Vezek most ranged attacks are acid
there are some heat
these are the only other types of damage open to the CH, and ranged attack is bugged.
Most of the "spitting" pets are higher level or aggro
Merek's
Bobcats
Greater desert womp rats
to name a few
It was months ago so I don't really remember
sorry

I have an Ubese jacket, cool.
Chitin is the other one I was thinking of. I will check that on the boards before I log in tonight.
I posted this in a testing thread in BE also. Here are my results. And don't worry, I am not leaving CH for the dark magic arts of BE. BE isappearing to be the most in depth crafting profession in this game. Anyway to the results.
I had my Toxic Merek Battlelord attack my friend. He had on a Helmet with Acid protection and kinetic protection. He had on body armor with kinetic protection but no Acid protection. And leggings that had Acid and Kinetic protection.
With my TMB on range attack only, when he hit the body, indicated by floaty numbers in red, it hit for exactly what the combat queue stated. When hit in the Head for mind damage with blue floaty numbers it was dramatically lower if I remember correctly combat queue was 250ish with floaty 55 and I believe he said it had either 55% or 75% acid resists. When hit in the legs indicated by green floaties we had both full hits and reduced hits, this being because he is a Doshan and can't wear boots.
Afterwards he reviewed his combat log and the helmet and the leggings did list as reducing the amount of damage delivered on him. So a TMB's range attack is Acid (I didn't check his other resists in his armor, but it surely isn't kinetic).
Today was my first full day as a Novice BE. I made a nice little Eopie with ranged attack. CL13 with H2634 A2239 M3586 but only 70-75 damage. We repeated the experiment. With the Eopie on Ranged attack only. When he hit the body he was hitting for the full 9 points of damage, the body armor being resistant to Kinetic but no resists to Acid. When he hit the mind the combat queue stated 9 points, but the floaty stated 1, and that helmet had both Acid and Kinetic resists in it. We then waited for the Eopie to hit his legs, and the same reduction was seen there.
In this experiment the BE made Eopie with Ranged attack was not shooting Kinetic damage. I want to venture to say it was Acid, but I believe we need more testing.
If anyone else tested this, please let us know your results.

We tried my friends BE made Cu Pa against me with my Ubese jacket. His Cu Pa kept missing me and then it decided to just go melee. So we stopped that and did the above posted experiment. I believe my friends armor was Padded, just for the record.
