I have targets that I like to use for Duke missions. They're all easy to kill targets from previous Duke missions. Mostly deserters who haven't been online for years.

But just now I attacked seven targets and could not land a single hit on any of them. These are targets that I usually beat in 1 or 2 hits and they rarely ever hit me. But suddenly I'm missing every hit while they slowly kill me. I even tried using pepper spray. Still not a single hit landed.

Have Duke targets been beefed in a recent update? I didn't see that in the notes. Or is this a bug? It can't be bad luck.

Any ideas on what's happening?

Attack logs would help.

Preferably one from before and one from after the supposed change happened.

A bit difficult to explain something you haven’t seen.
Romandy [2959873]
Sure, thanks for asking.

Here's an example...

I just lost to this one
https://www.torn.com/loader.php?sid=attackLog&ID=70a0708ace22fd418f2f05a744a41893

and here are the four previous attacks on the same player

Another example...

Lost to this one (11 missed hits, none connected)
https://www.torn.com/loader.php?sid=attackLog&ID=451c087aa83dd9efd5b645d8fb190ee8

while the four previous attacks were super easy

And it's not just the two from these examples. It's happening for anyone that I attack!

My gear hasn't changed

Metal nunchaku has lower accuracy than Enfield or diamond knife which you used in previous fights.

It also looks like you're on xanax drug cd, or some other cooldown, since your damage in the fight you lost was low as well.
Romandy [2959873]
Interesting.

My nunchuck has 63.96 accuracy, but my knife has 62.06 accuracy.
Are there other factors involved in accuracy?

I guess I'll switch back to the knife and try some of these targets again.
Maybe that's it. I switched to nunchuck like a week ago.
Weird that I didn't notice a difference until now, though.

The cooldown is from medding out of the hospital.
I've never actually used a drug in Torn.

Thanks for taking a look.
Much appreciated.
Hopefully it's that simple.
I'll know soon.

As posted above, it’s the metal nuchaku making it tough on you.

You don’t seem to be using any drugs, so not sure if there are other debuffs at play?

I’m fairly certain inactive players did not just get stronger overnight :-)
Romandy [2959873]
Yeah, it sounds crazy. I'm just missing something. You're right, it's probably the nunchucks.

I got them from mission rewards and saw the damage and accuracy numbers were both higher than my knife and switched. But I guess the numbers aren't enough to tell if a weapon is better.

I'll have enough energy to try again and find out in 2 minutes.
ht_hacker [2672476]
From mission rewards, as in mission credits?


Don’t spend those on weapons… save up for a book or weapon mods, or at least some special ammo. Just a suggestion!
wizcup [1906226]
Yeah that's odd. HappyWombat that you mention in log is Rank 3, which means his total BS should be under 2k.

Maybe post it on Bug as it's almost impossible to got that result.

Just mention on the Bug thread your total BS and enemy Rank + his supposed total BS.
JussiJernkuuk [1874922]
Don't worry too much about it, just use pepper spray as it's a really cheap temp and will help you a lot.

Weapon xp could be a factor but you don't have that education yet. Possibly also merits used in weapon mastery. Or your faction might have had war perks activated earlier and so on.

  • I think they made some changes to ranks several years after the opponent quit, I wouldn't trust their rank is a reliable indicator of stats.
    wizcup [1906226]
    The change is on NW, just wiki it.

    And OP did 1 hit kill several times before even without pepper spray. How on earth he suddenly missed 7 times in a row with pepper?

    Edit: if we used old rank NW trigger, the enemy should be Rank 4.
    Romandy [2959873]
    I've battled this opponent before many times and I always win very easily in a hit or two.

    Now suddenly I can't even hit them once.

    And it's not just that opponent, but all other targets that I attacked recently have the same problem.
    JussiJernkuuk [1874922]
    No, it wasn't just NW they added new rank triggers based on your stats. Check Harley's thread on new ranks if you're interested in the details.
    wizcup [1906226]
    Ok, I might be wrong about Rank trigger, but this seems genuinely a bug.

    However do you ever 1-2 hit kill a player many times without pepper spray and then suddenly cant hit the same person for 7 times in a row even when using pepper spray + using higher Damage and Accuracy weapon?

    Before you reply to me, check bug and issue forum, many experience the same problem.
