Did Corpus Get A Buff?

[Paradoxbomb]

Do Corpus enemies do more damage now? I've seen several people talk about how powerful Corpus is lately, but I honestly can't tell, 15 MOAs firing at you at once doesn't leave much time for you to notice how much damage is dealt per shot, so did I miss a patch note?

 

 

P.S.: Poison, derived from a mutatious virus, deals triple damage to synthetic robots? Logic?

nope don't seem like they had a buff

lv 70 moa hit for around 50~ per shot......normal just bring shade and a Nuker

I've noticed this too. I've also seen somethings on the forums here about glitches involving (I think) Corpus to bypass shields and do direct damage to health. Might be the latter, might be a ninja nerf or it might be something with new level scaling. Either way, they hurt like a btich now,

in this game poison are both a toxic and a corrosive element type

so poison (corrosive) on metal would of course do 3x dmg

Buffs to the dera and supra affect the corpus too. so the fire rate improvements basically removed the corpus' one real weakness (other than their total weakness to electricity) which made them a lot harder to deal with.

They should really just call it corrosion. I know that's Borderlands territory, but who cares? I liked that game.

That would make sense I guess, I'm torn whether or not it's right to make enemies' weapons reflect our own at times.

The whole system has had a buff so that could be the problem? Also, I have noticed my shields going down faster than normal everywhere.

It's a pain in the &#! because I've opened doors on corpus maps to walls of death lasers. The corpus are now worse than the grineer because they aimbot just as hard, but the dera and supra are perfectly accurate and with the projectile speed increase, it's way easier for them to hit you now. Plus the techs cheat with their supras and not having windup times.

Their usage of the Dera has definitely made it problematic. I mean, don't they teach these guys trigger discipline anymore?

After the dera speed buff corpus got harder

 

before it was easy to dodge the bullets....now you must avoid getting hit by most of them

I've run into a few Techs at point blank range and I can assure they do have wind up times one their Supra guns. The first shot always fires slightly slower.

 

 

The first shot.
