Kinetic Shield not working as discribed

so the Kinetic Shield Feat states
Take between 10% and 33% reduced Toughness damage from ranged attacks based on Warp Charge.
this does not seem to be the case.

tested Kinetic Shield in Psykhanium, have a level 30 Psyker.
tested with no Toughness Curios, and with Creature Spawner Mod.

Summoned one basic Scab Shooter, 3 shots
100 Toughness( 0 Warp Charges)( 0% Peril ), + 3 Scab Shooter shots = 52 Toughness
100 Toughness( 4 Warp Charges)( 0% Peril ), + 3 Scab Shooter shots = 52 Toughness
100 Toughness( 0 Warp Charges)( 95% Peril ), + 3 Scab Shooter shots = 66 Toughness

so it seems like Kinetic Shield is getting Damage reduction from Peril rather then warp charges.
is this a bug or was this changed recently and my game just is showing the wrong text?

Kinetic shield was changed months ago to be peril based.

if this was the case, why does my tooltip in Feats show it as Warp Charges?
or is it a visual bug on my end?

Huh, looks like the tooltip got reverted. I just went and checked in game. Assuming this is true that’s honestly kind of hilarious. As you can see from that thread though, they fixed the tooltip at some point but apparently broke it again.

From that post:

This affects only the description. The code behind was not changed, it was always based on peril. The reason for this was that, in fact, Peril is referred to as warp_charge in code and Warp Charges are souls. So whoever wrote the first iteration got confused, rightfully so.
