Accatran Mk VIIa Possible Range Bug

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Bugs
1

Issue Description
Not sure if this is a bug or a (in my opinion) bad idea, but the Accatran Mk VIIa lasgun variant has an extremely short range, with the bolts stopping just 45m or so from the gun, making it relatively common to have gunners or snipers firing at you without any ability to respond. I haven’t noticed any other weapons with such a maximum range where projectiles just disappear rather than having damage dropoff, other than the Flamer so it struck me as odd and likely not intentional.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Stand more than 45-50m away from a target.
  2. Click on the target.

Platform:
Steam

Player ID:

But the Specials in the Psycarium all have “Dreg Rager” as a enemy type.

Yeah, did some more thorough testing and it looks like it’s 51m and up, couldn’t get it to happen in the Meat Grinder since I couldn’t get a confirmed distance more than 49m, but in missions I was able to consistently reproduce on 50m+ targets, including having friendlies stand downrange and watch the beam terminate midair in front of them. Not sure why I was thinking it was 45m earlier, might have just missed some shots at that range and conflated it with the range issue.
