Hydraulic Crosshairs buff doesnt increase damage output

[LemmingOfTheBDA]

Expected behavior: Hydraulic Crosshairs mod should give bonus crit chance on headshot while aiming and thus increased damage output

 

Actual behavoir:  Damage output remains the same even when the buff is active

 

How to reproduce: Easy (99% reproducible)

Tested using Limbo in simulacrum with a fully modded Dex Furis as well as a Dex Furis without any mods except for Hydraulic Crosshairs (as well as a Lex)

Also reproduced with Loki in PoE against Level 30 Lancers

1 - In Simulacrum spawn the following (I dont have all scanned yet):

• Kosma Officers

2 - Equip Limbo 

3 - Equip a secondary without Hidraulic Crosshairs

3 - Activate 2 and 4 habilities  to keep the enemies in place (this is not required but this is how i did it)

4 - Hit a Headshot on the enemy and keep firing while aiming, notice the damage numbers

5 - Add Hydraulic Crosshairs mod on the weapon and try again

6 - Hit a headshot on the enemy and keep firing while aiming (confirm the buff icon is active), notice the damage is the same as before (no increased damage due to crit chance buff)
