Rifle Amp Aura Giving Double Effect If Host To Clients?

[(NSW)Omgwtfl9lbbl]

Finally convinced a friend to help me test some stuff, was checking the claim that you do 8x headshot damage if you're a client as opposed to 4x (false, it seems).

 

Noticed something else along the way, though. While he was hosting my friend's Rifle Amp aura  was providing a +54% base damage bonus to my weapon, allowing me to do 36008 damage on headshots to level 1 Lancers as opposed to 29912 damage when in a solo situation. Having me host and him as a client made my headshots deal 32959 damage instead. We were the only two players, and I was equipped with Energy Siphon. My weapon was equipped with a max Serration and no Heavy Caliber.

 

This comes out quite close to 319/265 = 36008/29912 = 20.3% increase, 319/292 = 36008/32959 = 9.2% increase, and 292/265 = 32959/29912 = 10.1% increase, with the damage values well within rounding error.

 

Running Rifle Amp myself and hosting again, but solo, lead to Rifle Amp working as expected, only providing a +27% base damage bonus.
