New blunt damage

[bencrabb1982]

Hi guys,


Any ideas how the new blunt damage when there is no penetration works?

I was hyped when I saw this as I always thought if you took a shotgun shell point blank in the chest when wearing heavy armor it might not penetrate but would have massive stopping power and maybe crack your ribs from the force.

Me and a friend just went into factory wearing UNTAR armor and shot each other in the chest from about 2 meters with a 153 and buckshot but nothing happened. No special effect, no damage just armor durability loss.

Can anyone elaborate please.

hmm maybe try getting a good helmet and hitting it with a slug ? aim for the top of the dome to avoid the face box or shoot from behind or both 

 

but so far i can't get anything that seems like blunt damage to trigger maybe blunt damage = more aim punch when taking non lethal damage 

 

or maybe its just a reworking of the damage numbers so we now have 3 things to worry about bleeding/sharp damage(used to be hp damage) blunt damage (makes up half or so along with the bleeding or sharp damage) and then the pen value along with a chance to cause bleeding effects if a threshold is passed on the sharp damage .

 

i wish the patch notes where more than "we added this thing"

I just go by this https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&limit=100

Usually gives me a good idea what changes are taking place, all be it on a very basic level.

Of course if you're confused on new values you can always check the google doc. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l_8zSZg-viVTZ2bavMEIIKhix6mFTXuVHWcNKZgBrjQ/edit#gid=0

As far as if armor is actually working, or is it bugged ect, Well you'll have to test it your self I suppose.

this is more like it. however it's a little bit over the top yes i'm sure it details every single change that has happened to key spawn chances and much much more.

It would be nicer to see an official digest of the patch with more detail on what the end changes for the average user are. it seems like people feel a disconnect from how the game is changing and in which direction so you see a lot of posts shouting at the devs for getting it "wrong" when there is no right or wrong really just people who see the way they play as getting changed or even worse nerfed but dont understand the overall reasoning for it (not excusing all of them some are just hardheaded and do not want to see anything change ever) maybe something like that could help in reassuring the community that everything isn't going to come crashing down 

EDIT : That first bit sounds kinda aggressive which is not how i meant it to come out, but thanks for providing the links

In the patch notes you should have a rough break down of the update changes and then a full on explanation of the update in detail . Thats the thing about this place there is very poor communication from the devs to the crew or at least authority to do that from the crew to us . Its like there is no structure here at all for this stuff or anything . Idk what to tell you guys just play the game the best you can an enjoy what you got and as much of the game as possible .

Thank's for the replies and links.

Hopefully the Dev's  can clarify the details of this new damage type...………..

I hate to pull this card but... It is a beta... apparently. It's kind of up to the testers/players to investigate them selves imo. Or just like... not give a duck... LUL 

Of course some more communication would be nice... even a tweet saying "hey we removed 9 crates from shoreline! tell us what you think!"

Something is better than nothing.

I don't know if this is thanks to the latest patch but my Fast saved me. He was sniping with an SKS and managed to land 3 shots, 1 of them hit my Fast MT and my vision got blurry. Other 2 landed in my UNTAR which I tanked. Health took no damage and I survived the raid. Armor is very useful, still.

This change completely fucked up the game. This game was in really good state before this patch, but now fort armor is just way too powerfull. 7.62x39 PS ammo does nothing anymore. It takes less shots to kill someone in Call of Duty than in this game atm  #realism
