I just saw a small light is in my mission credits store, and I like the sound of the bonus (-3 opponent accuracy and -2 opponent stealth) but I wanted to know how exactly it works. Does it work on every turn, or only turns immediately after you use the weapon that it's on?

Erebus [1666253]

It doesn't work on every turn, only on the turn you use the weapon with the light equipped.

The effects only last for that turn too.

The accuracy effect is useful for attacks and defends

The stealth effect is only useful for defends.

 

Let's say I attack you.

Your primary weapon has the tier 1 light attachment (-3 opponent acc, -2 stealth)

My only weapon is a DBK with 65 total accuracy (I won't account for any extra buffs/debuffs and mastery etc for ease).

 

On turn 1 I use my DBK, you use primary.

For that turn, my DBK accuracy is reduced to 62 and my stealth rating is also reduced for that hit.

 

On turn 2 I use my DBK again, but you use a different weapon with no light attachment.

For that turn, my DBK accuracy is back at 65, and no reduction to stealth rating.

 

When attacking someone there is a stealth bar on the side which reduces with every turn.

The lower the bar gets the more likely the attack won't be a stealthed attack.

The amount it decreases per hit depends on the weapon used and its stealth rating.

The light effectively reduces the stealth rating of all of my hits used at the same time as your weapon with the light.

I'm not sure of the exact mechanism of how the reduction works though.

I don't see a problem with his answer. You asked if the effect happens every turn or just the turns after you use the weapon and he responded (correctly) "when you use the weapon."🤷🏻

You're talking about yourself regarding the second post in this thread, right?

 

When you ask questions in q&a and people take the time to answer them seriously, the polite thing to do is not be an asshole to them for it.

when someone asks a question in q&a and you take the time to answer them, the polite thing to do is to read the question and answer clearly instead of being vague as shit

 

he does this over and over again, here's another example

oh look, another example that took me only a minute or two to find!

Mentions: Do bootleg online customers decrease ever? · OD chances

Xerra [2775419]

The first example isn't really a good answer, sure, but I don't see anything wrong with his answer to the dvd sales customer question. This looks like a "you don't like him" scenario, rather than you don't like his answers. 

 

TBH, if someone's answering questions to help out a player who's unsure of something then it's pretty petty to call them out on it. Why get involved?

 

Warriordud [3177526]

the issue with the second answer is that it completely fails to answer the actual question

 

the question was asking if customers reduce over time for bootleg websites, and while he did provide a simple guide to growing customers, he never actually answered the question, and with this happening over and over again it's making me think that he doesn't read the posts and is just trying to karma farm

Scuba [512975]

This is a huge thread of absolute stupidity for one solution you're entirely overlooking: if you don't like their answers: ignore them. At least the user is bumping your threads so if you find their answer to not be helpful, at least someone else weighs in.

 

Instead you're just coming off like an enormous asshole.

Mizadil [2640357] Committee Committee

He's correct in this case, though...weapon mod bonuses apply when using the weapon the mod is equipped on only.

Suria [2255504]

It's better than no one reply, no? Sometimes, when a reader saw vague ass response, they got the urge to clarify it more clearly.

Please read the life lessons I posted on your graved racist thread.

 

Yes I explain how you're racist there after reading through that whole thread.

 

The life lessons are there the genuinely help you gain awareness and have improved interactions with other humans and less personal stress as a result. I sincerely hope you find it helpful.
