Perk not procing properly

[puggy]

Issue Description:
The ogryn’s “knock 'em down, beat 'em up” perk doesn’t stack properly when using the latrine shovel. stacks are replaced with the most recent number of enemies hit rather than stacking concurrently and falling off after 10 seconds

Steps to Reproduce:
I tested this both in mission and in the psykanium.

When you use a heavy attack you consume all of the stacks and it resets to the number you just hit.

If you use light attacks the stacks will increment as expected.

I think this might be a misunderstanding about how the feat works.

[DingX233]

This is indeed the case, light attacks accumulate buff layers, heavy attacks consume buff layers to obtain damage increase effect
But this design makes perk meaningless, because the damage bonus algorithm problems, even if stacked full 25 layers is only about 25%, this data is completely inadequate to see
I just hope the designers can play more of their own game to see how high the correlation between perk, weapons, blessings, Ogling now the strongest play, and Ogling itself perk is almost not at all with, I can even pass the fifth difficulty level without installing any perk …

Ok thanks, I’ll test that and check back in, maybe I’m just misusing the perk.
I’d thought I was chaining light attacks though, but I’ll have to verify.

It is a feat, not a perk.
From the context, it is clear what you mean, but when writing bug reports, it is important to be precise with your language.
