MasterControl Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I was running a quick Exterminate on Saturn to check out the lighting changes and hopefully play with some ziplines, when I got smacked by a Powerfist I didn't notice.. To my suprise, I got a Viral proc. I proceeded to find another powerfist and found the same result. Since when is this a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterControl Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Wait...powerfists can actually hit you?! Lol, yeah, that's what I get for sticking myself to a wall at hitting height. The camera was so scrunched into my face I didn't notice him. I apparently haven't been hit by one of these buggers for a loooong time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiiat Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 yes, Powerfists can apply Viral Status. have been able to for... a year or more. it's really surprising the first time, because you get complacent and have relegated to assuming that Enemy is useless. but hah! he tricks you.

Ailith Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) Wait...powerfists can actually hit you?! It's a slightly more common occurrence if you use sniper rifles or anything that requires prolonged zooming. It doesn't help matters that Powerfists rarely make noise (ambient or verbal), so they tend to sneak up on you. It gets really bad past a certain level (30-ish?), they can and will one-shot you.

A year? Geez. I've been playing since U12, I'm suprised this is the first time it's happened to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDeN153 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 A year? Geez. I've been playing since U12, I'm suprised this is the first time it's happened to me. It's ok, I've been playing since U8 and I didn't know they could do this, nor has it happened to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
