[UPDATED - ACTUAL MASSIVE BUG] Amor Piercing Rounds is RIDICULOUSLY OVERPOWERED

[x9t5821]

Update: please ignore my bitching because someone has identified a INSANELY ABUSABLE BUG (SEE FIRST COMMENT)
________

As if gun damage wasn't already EXTREMELY OPPRESSIVE ENOUGH without this item... Even before the shop update, for months, gun scaling has been insanely broken in ANY match that gets above 40 minutes.

Now? An item that makes bullet resistance useless? Complete fucking joke.

I'm gonna hijack a bit to add that there is currently a bug where if you buy split shot and armor piercing rounds (split shot first, order matters for some reason) then it does 5 times the damage that it should, currently I've only seen Vypers using this but I tested it out and it seems viable for Abrams and Yamato to be able to one shot people. Also it seems like it does even more damage to you if you build bullet resistance? (probably something like armor piercing rounds subtracting their bullet resistance 5 times from the calculations?). Bullet resist shred items seem to lower the damage you can do with this. A Mo & Krill could have 70% bullet resistance and 6k hp and still be one shot after one Abrams shoulder charge if you have the right build.

Holy... shit. Well, that explains so much. Updated OP with that info.

Edit: I just tested it, holy fuck. 4x-5x the amount of damage. Yeah that is insane. And you're right, order DOES matter for some reason.

Pretty sure they just patched it.

Pretty sure they just patched it.

I sure hope so because I was afraid to play tonight after watching that stuff on reddit.
