Purple Numbers?

[(PSN)BLACKandG01d123]

Sometimes when playing I see purple numbers come up, has anyone had this happen? Does anyone how to proc it?

Or is it that I'm imagining these numbers?

if I remember coreclt its overshield taking damage , atleast what I been told .

It is either Overshields taking damage, or a critical hit on Overshielded enemies.

I think... I haven't had a way to confirm this.

[taiiat]

the best conclusion that's been able to guess at is that it's Damaging Enemies that have gotten Overshields.

but it isn't consistent, i.e. if you spawn some Guardian Eximus in Simulation it doesn't happen... but it's the only conclusion that seems logical.

I think it's a bugged damage. It's supposed to be when you damage overshields, but no enemies are visibly shown to have overshields.
