Acersecomic Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 How? What is going on? I am watching an Inaros nuke the entire Void defense map with a single shot from Komorex. I have seen a thread on this theory crafting around Mirage and augment but the only linking threads here are Komorex and people going in and out of Operator. Some new exploit to be fixed?

Hierarch777 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Komorex, when aiming down sights, can zoom in. When the zoom-in is active, it gains 2x damage, a 6m explosion which can proc viral but loses 75% of fire rate. It's a really powerful gun, contrary to popular belief.

And the dude specifically goes in and out of his operator mode on top of having extremely high ability usage number. Seeing how he refused to divulge just what exactly he is doing, the abilities might be a decoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acersecomic Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Mmmm... further observations show he only going in and out of operator and then BLAM fires off Komorex. Abilities not used during the process, and yet during all this time his Ability Usage is going up. He is using the Alamos Sniper Skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably just report it for anomalous behavior and let DE figure out if there is funny business going on or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acersecomic Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 I'm pretty sure they'll see this eventually if we raise enough noise, in the meantime we can figure out how to replicate it and do the job for DE. God knows they need less stuff to figure out to focus on other stuff :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: My guess is that they are somehow stacking the scope bonus, which adds 100% damage and some explosive radius at max zoom. If you could stack that, theoretically the explosion would get bigger and bigger and do more and more damage. The operator in/out may just be for something like Anomaly or Nourish, but it may play a part in some bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AoN-CanoLathra- Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 The ability count is entirely due to entering/exiting operator mode (pretty much every time you press 5 it increases the ability use count). Madurai might explain the high damage, but the AoE is something I have no explanation for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)The_Verethragna Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I haven't played much with the Komorex, but could they be using the reduced Accuracy from Heavy Caliber to spread their Multishot around for a larger affected area? Also, I'm wondering if Operator Mode isn't being used to trigger Catalyzer Link. Off the top of my head, I'm not certain what that build would even look like, or if it would be effective enough to be the culprit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Lugia Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 This is known since at least last year XD DE fixed a bit of it, but you can still kinda do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caliber would still not explain how a single shot from Komorex nukes the entire map like Equinox Maim, but with more range and faster and easier.

There's a lot of stuff in the game that may look like an exploit to a casual player, maybe you just need more experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)TheWayOfWisdom Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Its a known bug where you can get extreme range on Komorex's explosion from this thread, where no one believed the poor fellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Madurai-Prime Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Oh geez well I stand corrected. It's most likely a bug. I thought you were exaggerating the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS! Exactly like that. 8 hours ago, (PS4)Madurai-Prime said: Oh geez well I stand corrected. It's most likely a bug. I thought you were exaggerating the range. Nope, literally wipes the entire map with a single shot, the whole Void Defense map, from any place on the map. 5 hours ago, More-L said: Man the people in that thread were either trying to hide the bug, or really aren’t that smart, and the guy who did it that said spamming op was for unairu... spamming it so fast doesn’t let your unairu school do a single thing lmao. it is clearly 100% a bug of stacking the range effect while aiming down sights, not sure on the exact methods though Considering how dodgy the dude was yesterday, I'd say they're trying really really hard for DE not to fix this. Can't wait for a mainstream youtuber to make a video on it so we can get it fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivaMain Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Exploiters, no matter how hard they try. Their methods will always be discovered eventually. I am surprised that You can stack sight bonus by just entering operator when aiming down sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegetosayajin Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I had a couple of those. Most of the time on fissures and they made getting traces much much slower and the mission much more boring than it had to be. I guess for the e-pen jerk off it's great? I mean if it's a synergy or an exploit at least choose something useful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReddyDisco Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 that looks like lagswitch tactic with komorex to increase explosion radius to infinite, few threads on reddit mentioned it last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
