Bionitech Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I don't have a screenshot, but earlier I was on Earth fighting Hek and managed to one shot him in a team. Everyone threw around a few question marks as to how it all happened. Only I saw The red line of numbers totaling 380k damage...from my Dread bow. That's right, the weapon I called underwhelming slew Vay Hek like he was tissue paper. How could this happen? I am not sure. a Vauban laid down a vortex and I shot Hek while he was twisting around like a ragdoll and somehow...by some unspeakable act of RNG... One Shot. Maybe no one believes me, I saw what I saw. I saw a BIG, RED, SIX DIGIT number fly into my face like I broke the game or something. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this even possible?

Nuko_Miko Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 It happened to me quite a few times but the highest I saw was close to 20k... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatantfool Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Actually, I've seen some incredible damage happen to Vortex victims. It is likely that bolt weapons hit significantly harder if the enemy is in the Vortex. Needs testing. The largest damage number I've seen on a Vortex victim is 1,500. I do not know what dealt the blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know what dealt the blow. It's probably due to the fact that the arrow technically hits it several times (they're piercing, remember), resulting in cumulative (not to mention ridiculous) damage added up to one number. Not sure about boltor/tron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about boltor/tron. Could be a number of things. The 1k+ damage number I saw was visible to me, which means something I did caused it. I'm not using a bolt weapon though. I happen to believe it was an explosive canister that set off. I think Vortex might amplify damage, even if it is accidental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionitech Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Is it possibly a bug or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatantfool Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I suspect it may very well be. It is a rather cool bug though, just like using the Vortex to surf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionitech Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 I mean the bullet attractor/ radial javelin combo exists...why not Vortex and a charged up the wazoo bolt weapon? XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infected_Chicken Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Now that's interesting. 300K damage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappyBruns Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 is it possible tha vortex 'increased' velocity of the arrow therefore increasing it's 'charge'? best explanation I can think of, that along with a super-crit, could explain, of course, then again, could be some wierd stealth effect of the dread bow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionitech Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 I just hope this stays in the game, because that way Hek farming would be much more tolerable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireblac Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) Yeah I was in that one with you, it was quite strange wasn't it o.O On a side note add me if ya want I got 2 new frames from my foundry and like 5 or 6 new weps to level the next few days so hit me up whenever for anything.

Worira Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I would assume it's just making the arrow hit a bajillion times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Istroleth Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) it isn't the bow, i have killed vor and tyl without the bow, it seems vortex is bugged and does tons of dmg if you take out the bosses shields before the vortex ends Edited May 24, 2013 by Gaige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionitech Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) any chance that bug might have been fixed? If not, then more fun for Vauban (whose Vortex breaks defense missions) Edited May 25, 2013 by Bionitech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
