When Outcast Engineer has “Armour Piercing Slugs” selected, attacks with the Trollhammer Torpedo, bombs, and incendiary bombs will pass through one enemy without exploding, then explode on contact with a second enemy or scenery. Description reads:
Non-Explosive Ranged Attacks pierce 1 additional enemies.
So believe these attacks should be exploding on contact with the initial enemy.
Test 1: APS
- As Outcast Engineer, select “Armour Piercing Slugs” talent, and equip the Trollhammer Torpedo.
- Begin any mission.
- Find any enemy. Larger enemies (e.g. Chaos Warriors, Monsters) will work better to be sure you don’t miss with the attack.
- Get into the following scenario: target enemy is close to you, and there are no enemies behind it.
- Fire the Trollhammer Torpedo (or throw a bomb) upwards towards centre of mass of the enemy.
Expected result: projectile explodes on contact with the enemy.
Actual result: projectile passes through enemy and explodes some distance away.
Test 2: Non-APS
- As Outcast Engineer, equip the Trollhammer Torpedo and make sure Armour Piercing Slugs is NOT selected.
- Follow steps 2-5 from Test 1.
Expected result: projectile explodes on contact with the enemy.
Actual result: projectile explodes on contact with the enemy (working as intended).
Consistency: 100%. Tested with all 3 listed projectiles with and without Armour Piercing Slugs.
