Brittleness has negative effect on weapons that deal over 100% damage

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Bugs

Issue Description:
Brittleness has negative effect on weapons that deal over 100% damage ( like autoguns and axes having big multiplier vs unyielding or flak )
Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Equip a weapon with brittleness stack application blessing and head to meatgrinder
  2. Hit a target ( i tested on bulwarks back and reaper head, both unyielding and reaper chest which is flak) applying the brittleness ( multiple times for additional effect )
  3. If the melee weapon has over 100% dmg multiplier versus the target, the dmg per hit with drastically drop with every application untill stopping at, Iā€™m assuming, 100% damage, alternatively apply brittle and switch to ranged weapon with over 100% dmg multiplier versus the target like infantry autogun in close range against unyielding. Same result

My guess is that brittleness shreds enemy reistances down to eventually 0% which makes it great. Except if enemy is -20% or -50% damage resistant to certain weapon, it will also get closer to 0% with each application, resulting in damage dealt loss.

Platform:
Steam

Reproduction Rate:
Constant (100%)

It looks like rending has similar issues. Just tested that in meatgrinder.
