Targetting Drone Question


Adeon Hawkwood

 

Posted

Just a quick question: The Targetting Drone power said it does additional damage with SNIPER RIFLE shots... I am assuming this is exclusively paired for Assault Rifle, but I am using Beam Rifle, and curious if the additional damage works with Lancer Shot as well.

Thanks!
Me!

I do not believe it will. If i recall /Dev was made to give AR/ a boost since it had no aim or something like that.

All right. I'll take your word for it unless someone else comes by and corrects. Thanks for the reply.

Yep, OmniNogard is correct, the bonus damage is only for the AR snipe.

Targeting Drone has a "Set mode: Range_Finder_Mode" effect: http://tomax.cohtitan.com/data/power...argeting_Drone
Sniper Rifle deals extra damage if you have Range_Finder_Mode: http://tomax.cohtitan.com/data/power...e.Sniper_Rifle
But other snipes, like Penetrating Ray, do not have that effect line: http://tomax.cohtitan.com/data/power...enetrating_Ray

So yeah, just Assault Rifle

If I remember rightly it was something done a long time ago due to at the time, AR/devices being the only blaster combo without access to aim or buildup. Thus the very specific effect.

Given its original logic it`s always had me thinking I would like to see the buff proliferated to other blast sets without aim, like Dual Pistols. Currently,yes, it just adds a small amount of extra base damage to Sniper Rifle.

Not quite, the bonus damage is unaffected by buffs and enhancements so it's always the same absolute amount even if you get a Kin to damage cap you.
