Penetration Mods And Supra/dera

[SciKnight]

Do they work? I've had Shred on my Supra for a while but couldn't really tell. Has anyone confirmed this yet? It's possible that the laser projectiles function like physics impact projectiles do and sorta stick into whatever they hit instead of passing through.

Edit:

After some not so extensive testing, I have confirmed my worst fears: Penetration does not work for the supra.

Some people says that Puncture doesn't work with non-hitscan weapon... For thrown and bolt weaps, I could understand that. But for Dera/Supra? I honestly don't know...

Puncture should work on Supra since its not a laser weapon, it's bullet. Dera is a laser weapon though, so it shouldnt work on that

It's kinda hard to test.

 

How do you test if it's working? Would you use a static piece of scenery? Or some elaborate conga-line of infested, stuck in a Bastille?

 

I haven't put much thought into it yet, but it seems like something that would have to be noticed rather than something that can be tested :(

I've been wondering this too, if someone can confirm if Metal Auger combined with Shred allow for arrows/bolts/lasers to puncture now that'd be pretty neat I guess.

Easiest way is to shoot a shield grineer and see if your shot penetrates the shield.

 

If that don't work then go into void and shoot through the glass railings where them void dudes like to take cover from.
