Should affect Scab Shotgunners
They’re the real threat, and yet none of the perks you can get work against them
Looking into the forum, there’s a bug report on the subject marked as acknowledged November last year, but it has yet to be adressed

Yeah I do agree there should be something to help against the toughness-deleting effects in the game. I’m not sure it should be Damage Resist Gunners because that’s already like 2nd best perk possible on Curios (behind toughness regen).
I worked under the assumption is affects also shotgunners, but this wouldn’t be the first time Fatshark rolls out another undocumented inconsistency. I’m looking at you Counterfire and Stalkers.

I’m playing Psyker, toughness regen only comes into play with coherency regen, so not particularly great, and gunners really aren’t an issue
Surprise Shotgunner buttsex on the other hand is extremely bad for me
You’re much better off with sniper damage resistance as Psyker, and i’d happily trade gunners resist for shotgunners resist if they had to have their own resistance for balance sake

One focused on you and you are in trouble if already occupied with a horde, two jumping you and you are a dead man walking, you just don’t know it yet.

I understand where you come from… however, best perks depend of your gameplay.
I actually run toughness regen and… corruption resist. In my opinion, the only thing I cannot recover is the corruption (i play a zealot and on my vet I have put all curios for more toughness).
On what OP said… I think that the resist should be against scab shotgunners and not on others. If it addresses both, it would make this perk the more efficient perk… and it would not be really balanced.
Maybe introduce another resistance instead i don’t really care, but Shotgunners need something
I think that might be mine. Hopefully one day before Futurama’s canon timeline we will see something.
I mean it would be nice even if there was a separate +shotgunners or +scatter shot damage resist which also applied to the captain shotgun as well though it would probably dilute the blessing pool even worse than it already is.
Off topic a bit but does the Tox Flamers curio also effect scab flamers and if not then WHY?
Yea as it stands on Damnation, 99% of the damage i take is either the game refusing to let me switch my weapon, or Scab Shotgunners sniping me from across the room with no way to mitigate the damage
it works on gunners and also reapers. shotgunners have an absurd toughness modifier to their damage, so i’m not even entirely sure it would do what you’d want ie prevent a break on first shot. could be wrong tho.
It’s more for the health damage
Shotgunner could use a balance pass, even on Malice he’ll plow through more toughness in one shot than 3 characters could get with perfect curios. Did they forget they constantly dump them in groups of 4, and let them shoot through enemy hitmass unlike the other close range scabs/dregs? Most dangerous enemy in the game.
As for gunner resistance its pretty good I think. Reapers wreck you at all times if you let them shoot but the other 2 gunner enemies do a lot of HP damage in short order when your toughness is gone, which couples great with their heavy hitstun in times you’re already in heavy hitstun.
Maybe if you didn’t lose all toughness and momentum from a fire grenade it wouldn’t be as good.
It only affects the elite gunner dmg and not those little guys with guns
