[Dante's Noctua Alt-Fire Has "Very Low" Accuracy, Not "Very High" (With Unmodded Fire Rate, Accuracy Scales With Fire Rate)]

Ok, that's interesting.  But with an unmodded Noctua and unmodded Dante I'm still not seeing it.  What I'm seeing is the pinpoint accuracy of the latter parts of your video.

Welp, I'm at a loss.

 

hmm, odd. Could be something else entirely then if that's the case.

I'm not seeing it.  I tried both in the Sim and on a Kappa syndicate defense, and the altfire looks like it lines up perfectly with the reticle.  Even when I fired toward the ceiling, and even with Magnum Force on.

Was there a particular mission/map you were seeing this?  Client or host?

It appears that the bug in question is Noctua's alt-fire has poor accuracy if you don't mod fire-rate, but even as much as +12% fire rate makes the alt-fire pin-point accurate. I loaded into E Prime and observed the same effect, no fire rate mods makes the alt-fire wildly inaccurate.

I noticed that while using Dante's Noctua to try and see if fulmination works on it at all that (it doesn't on primary fire since it has no explosion radius and doesn't seem to work for alt-fire either) and I noticed that although the stats say "very high" for accuracy on both "auto" and "active" (active, for projectile alt-fire), the projectile has very low accuracy and sometimes even fires straight into the ground.

Highly reproducible by simply alt-firing in the air and noticing that the Noctua projectile veers way off-course of the reticle.

 

EDIT: Seems like it was some one-time bug while testing in the Sanctum Simulacrum.

EDIT 2: It looks like what I'm observing is Noctua's accuracy stat actually scales with fire-rate, as including Gunslinger or Lethal Torrent makes the alt-fire pin-point, while leaving the fire-rate unmodded makes the alt-fire wildly inaccurate

EDIT 3: Evidence

[You can not cancel the mission vote with "Y" anymore]

There was a pretty neat feature prior to Dagath where you can cancel or deny mission startups by hitting the Y key on MnK, but it's seemingly gone as of Dagath. Small change, but I found it useful and think it could be useful in general. The less we have to use our mouse in the UI, the better the accessibility is in general.

[Cross Platform Play IS LIVE!]

I would like to note a crossplay bug: when going into the orbiter of a player from a different platform, they can't see your decorations and you can't see their decorations.

I (xbox) just had someone (PC) go into my orbiter, but they didn't see all the decoration I placed about my orbiter.

When I went into their orbiter, I didn't see any of the decorations they placed.
