Denpoman 378 Posted February 21, 2017 I've noticed that if I kill a nullifier (undetected) with a weapon that has a long stealth kill animation (i.e. Venka Prime) the nullifier will activate the bubble midway the animation, possibly screwing me over. This doesn't sound as an intended feature so... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voltage 43,023 Posted February 21, 2017 Yes I have this happen to me when I am farming Simaris Rep or stealth missions as ivara loki or ash. My Rakta Dark Dagger sometimes makes nullifiers pop a bubble and RIP prowl/smokescreen/invisibility :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyori 3,652 Posted February 21, 2017 I think this works regardless of animation length. Do not know why the bubble will come out as he dies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jzillacon 34 Posted February 21, 2017 It's a pretty common issue I find. It's especially bad if you use a weapon that just isn't very fast at doing stealth kills, like the nunchaku for example. To me it kinda just feels like the game is punishing you for doing something you are actively encouraged to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xXDeadsinxX 8,019 Posted February 21, 2017 I've had this happen to me as well, it's definitely a bug for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This doesn't sound as an intended feature so... Well, if you poke someone with a sharp object they will react, and that's what happens. Seems intended to me. If you have to use a slow attack speed weapon just don't attack nullifiers where others can see, just like we had to do when they still had their bubbles up all the time. Or just increase your attack (=animation) speed or use a different weapon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ultragen 92 Posted February 21, 2017 It is not affected by the attack speed or speed of the finisher animation afaik. It is as if the bubble generator explodes when the nullifier is killed and nullifies everything in a short range... Happens with ceramic dagger with full fury, happens also with one shot long range weapons. When I see nullifiers on my spy ivara, I use my rakta cernos and headshot them from a safe distance...

As soon as you stab him, he becomes alerted and switches his bubble on. You might notice that he goes down to 1HP for the duration of the animation and only dies once it finishes. That could definitely be handled better. Shorter animation only means that he's dead before the bubble can inflate enough to touch you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DatDarkOne 6,420 Posted February 21, 2017 I use to have that issue, but haven't had it happen recently. That's with me using the Venka Prime, Nikana P, and Galatine Prime. Not sure what's still causing it to happen for others now. Cool that the team is looking into it though. :D P.S. I still find it VERY satisfying to Stealth kill nullies.

MobyTheDuck 1,396 Posted March 27, 2017 The update said this was fixed, but its still happening to me. The nullfier gets 'alerted' mid kill and deploys his drone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
