Thread: Strafing attack?
I was killing NPCs and when one of them hit me I gota message something like (You've been hit with a strafing attack and removed from cover. 10 second delay). I was not stunned. I know strafe shot 2 is aoe, clear from cover and delay. Has anybody tested to see if it is a 10 second delay because I don't think I've ever delayed anybody that long. Maybe it is strafe shot 1 that the NPC used since I get the message I used advance strafe when I do strafe shot 2 specials. Just wondering because if strafe shot 1 is a 10 second delay I'm going to start using it.
I believe that when strafe shots manage toremove the target from cover the target is delayed.
What Strafe Shot does, one or two, same in end, the try to remove from cover, if they succeed then the person whom was removed from cover will be given a 10 second delay, so in PVE you are better off just going prone against an NPC ecspecially Desert Demons, and all of those type of guys

Correct Gavinik, but as to why anyone would use Cover as it is now is a mystery to me
When i was climbing the ladder, i tried cover while doing imp missions, figuring that since the enemy would be shooting at me, cover would help out. Wrong. Not only did i get hit just as much for just as much, now i had to stand up if i wanted to use my stims. Cover blows. Prone blows. Untill the Devs make cover and being prone worth a **edit**, i'll treat my t21 like a M60 machine gun instead of a sniper rifle. You can't heal yourself, you can't shoot when stuff gets close, you get hit just as much...poor planning on the whole posture thing devs.
