Have you used it since the Scorpion rework recently?

So THIS is what's been screwing me over all this time, huh. Playing on the lowest graphics and had to fine tune my sensitivity between 10 and 14 where below is too slow and above is too fast. Now my comfortable sensitivity is all the way near 30%.

There are no augments that need nerfs in the game. Everything is completely fine.

The future is grenades and all, but a teleportation grenade is jumping the shark imo.

That's the thing. We don't know that yet. We have yet to see if a new pattern will emerge. We have yet to see where those epic keys will be going to in the subsequent events. The fact that it happened at all is not a good sign. When progression gets removed randomly it usually takes quite a while to show up somewhere else, too long. Back when they nerfed normal containers in 2022, it took months before they increased the rate at which we obtained normal containers per week. It took even longer than that for a pity system to come in. For all we know, these epic keys might show up a month or two into the future. In the players' eyes, that's a period of progression being nerfed for no discernable reason.

My main gripe is they removed the normal advent calendar. I do see that they gave a few extra common keys for the duration of the event but the epic keys are gone. One could argue that the keys that we'd get from the removed advent calendar would have been put in Battleship event, however we got those same missions with the same prizes last year. I appreciate that they also extended the event mode special missions timer to be the entire week instead of the weekend but that changes nothing for the people already doing those missions on the weekend. It's still 3 epic keys vanishing into thin air. Regarding the 4,400 Advent Calendar, the Black Friday one was good as it's Black Friday, it was meant to be profitable. 60 epic keys on their own will not give a random player much. They might get a Legendary with a higher weighted chance to be a paint. Maybe a semi-useful status augment. They might even get a random exotic, but that would be good luck, not average luck, far less bad luck. This advent calendar is a cheap way (higher cost up front though) to get 60 epic keys but it really seems more like a cheap way for older accounts to get the recruit paint.

Adding to what Helios said, Stock Hammer itself has very high impact force right now. If it's not Boxer that is tripping you up (which it likely is), it could be a myriad of other Hammers too, such as Revolvers, High-Capacity Anno Clip, or other 3 shots Hammers that don't have decreased impact force.

How so? Last week when it came, this didn't happen. And it's not like it happened during a silent patch note on Friday. It was normal on Friday and then it started happening Saturday morning.

On Saturday morning this appeared on mobile, squishing the usable area of the HUD to the left and messing with my muscle memory and comfort of control. Another QOL downgrade for mobile. I'm not the only person this is happening to. It could be an Android-only issue as someone using iOS did not have it on their device.

With Wasp, Defender and Armadillo, an Excalibur with Booster/Crisis would be taking off 84% of your HP. Visually that is most of your HP bar so what likely happens is you were slightly injured beforehand and they finished you off. You wouldn't be getting one-shotted from a high HP % with your Titan if you had Defender's extra armour active and Armadillo equipped, even if you were previously under the effect of the Jammer status. If at that point you're still getting one-shotted by a Railgun, the only other augment that can do that is Hyperspace Rounds, which triples the damage of the shot every time it pierces any live tank.

Crisis' armour is the same as Defender's armour. What upgrade level is your Armadillo and what hull do you use? If you have 50% Armadillo with Defender then a maxed Excalibur can deal 1,500 damage to your hull's HP. 1,687 if they have Booster or Crisis. If your Armadillo is below 34% then your light hull can be killed from full HP. For your medium hull with that %, it will be taking off 67% of your max HP so if you were injured beforehand, it may appear that they "one-shotted" you but in reality they just finished you off. And do remember there are random Jammer status applications that can happen via Jammer augments, Pulsar augments, Tsar grenades (rarely) or Hornet/Paladin/Wasp Overdrives. Jammer applications remove the extra armour that your Defender gives you. So there may always be brief periods where you got "one-shotted" with Defender equipped but in actuality you didn't have your extra armour active.

To add to what Helios said, the reason your Defender drone isn't helping you is because of the base damage a maxed Excalibur Rounds Railgun does. 4,350 against a Defender drone is exactly 1,500 damage. So an Excalibur with infinite Boosted Damage supply uptime would be able to one-shot medium hulls with Defender drone and no Armadillo at any time. Your profile is hidden so we cannot see what hulls you use most. You need Armadillo to survive Excalibur, not Railgun module.

We're still waiting on that video evidence, by the way.

It's insane that something that simple took years to do. One night have assumed it was secretly powerful or something.

He's still playing. His profile is just hidden.
