New Phahd Scaffold bounces off Volt shields

[Lyian]

Not sure if this is intended or a possible bug due to what looks like reused assets. Would like confirmation of which.
Also the fact that I hit my poor Volt once it bounces off.
EDIT: It appears that I only target my frame in simulacrum, doesn't happen in regular missions.

Yep same here, basically u can't use Phahd Scaffold in AMP because of this, useless in Eidolon hunt etc.

can confirm this happening, can't even test it out for the first night cycle, please fix DE!

[Voltage]

INB4 it is a feature to prevent you from using it in Eidolons. In all seriousness, I do hope this is fixed as Amps are only useful in Eidolons, and Volt is a staple in the hunt. (You could count the Stalker as Amp content too, but he has always been irrelevant).

ive had this too!! tried it in eidolon hunt and saw it did a like 3k per shot, eager to try it with volt but it bounced off the shield like it was a wall 😞

I've watched this clip about 20 times straight, can someone please make a meme out of the initial knockback? Legit laughing like a 2 year old. It's a nasty glitch and I really hope they fix it, especially since that scaffold looks promising for volm killing but that clip is pure gold.

same bug with zenistar wave since the melee punchthrough nerf... volt shields block the wave.

pls fix this DE

[Budumpshh]

Won't work with Mutalist Quanta either.

[Blade_Wolf_16]

Volt's Shield actualy blocking stuff? 

Must be a bug.

[Aethei]

Same issue here. I doubt it's intended, as normal throwing weapons do pass through Volt's shields as expected.

On a side note; while leveling the amp, the homing aim seemed overly agressive. If enemies are close enough together, there's a good chance the disk flies off to the enemy you weren't even aiming at. Trying to get headshots on enemies is a pain because the disk tries to aim for center mass, even at point blank range. Leading your shots to account for travel time and the enemies' movement often leads to the disk flying to somewhere behind them, rather than where you were aiming and the disk misses moving enemies often because of this.

I'd much prefer it if the shot went perfectly straight and didn't home in at all, until it hits an object/enemy. Playing with it right now in regular missions feels like playing with a sniper rifle with heavy caliber and a negative accuracy riven on.

The Arca Plasmor can't shoot through Volt shields either so it's definitely a bug that will get fixed

It's a big disappointment for me.
I really hope they fix it.

Same for me. Also weird bug, seems like scaffolds made after 23.4.1 hotfix are doing triple damage compared to amp made before hotfix.

[Dragon89071]

Would be fun to build another just to have a triple but it may not do the triple damage, and it will most definately get fixed either way.

[DemonikWarframe]

Now it goes through shield, but ignores damage buff. And it now sucks btw.

Spoiler

Here is comparison between Phahd (T4) and Sharksun (T2):

Phahd: 

 

 

Also it STILL shows 6100 base damage on stat screen, even though it should be 3000. I'm curious how much it shows for people who had bugged amps with triple damage (18300) and how much it deals.

I would have rathered them keep the damage close to how it was before but just nerf the fire rate. at least makes it usable in some situations

 

Or add the explosion to every hit it makes. either of those or its the worst scaffold in the game by far now.

[Dragon89071]

My idea was for it to just bounce of walls and explode on last impact or explode on first enemy hit, that and remove the horrible homing. A way to compare it is throwing weapons after the last bounce they come back, this would just explode instead

[Visoraph]

It just makes so little sense that a single hit of the scaffold deals less damage than a single shot of the T1 prism they just buffed. at 4x the energy cost

[--RV--arm4geddon-117]

just ran a tridolon capture and there's definitely something off with the T4 scaffold, doesn't seem to get any buff from Volt's shields, altho now it can go through it, so maybe one baby step at a time lmfao.
