Outcast Engineer "Armour Piercing Slugs" applies to explosive ranged attacks

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Bugs
1

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

  1. As Outcast Engineer, select “Armour Piercing Slugs” talent, and equip the Trollhammer Torpedo.
  2. Begin any mission.
  3. Find any enemy. Larger enemies (e.g. Chaos Warriors, Monsters) will work better to be sure you don’t miss with the attack.
  4. Get into the following scenario: target enemy is close to you, and there are no enemies behind it.
  5. 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

  1. As Outcast Engineer, equip the Trollhammer Torpedo and make sure Armour Piercing Slugs is NOT selected.
  2. 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.
