Issue Description (Required):

It seems the Tigrus Mk II Heavy Eviscerator was stealth nerfed a second time. It can now no longer one shot head shot Crushers (Damnation) in any way after activating Fury of the Faithful:

Tigrus Mk II Heavy Eviscerator - Second Stealth Nerf

Previously, you could one shot head shot with the first Heavy, but after a patch this was no longer possible, however you could still do this with the second heavy. Evidence for that you can see at the end of this thread:

Tigrus Mk II Heavy Eviscerator - Unintended (?) Stealth Nerf

Issue Type (Required): Weapons Issue Description (Required): Ever since hotfix 30 (Patch 1.2.23) the Tigrus Mk II Heavy Eviscerator can no longer one shot headshot Damnation Crushers with a special attack + Fury of the Faithful, which it was previously able to. What you had to do was to activate the Eviscerator’s special, hit the Crusher in the head with a heavy attack (didn’t matter if Heavy 1 or Heavy 2) and while your weapon was sawing away, activate the Fury of the Faithful ability for the…

Now even that is no longer possible.

Why and how is this happening?

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

1. Load into Psykhanium (Damnation)
2. Equip a Tigrus Mk II Heavy Eviscerator
3. Perform a Heavy Attack with the weapon charged
4. Hit the Crusher’s Head
5. Immediately activate Fury of the Faithful
6. Crusher survives

Lmao why would I run it anymore over the super buffed chaxes then? A FotF rev LIGHT attack from OG Chaxe one shots a crusher last I checked. What is going on in FS’s balance department they seem to have no idea what they’re doing.

And just to confirm, I have not changed my talents or my weapon in any way since then. I’m still using this Eviscerator:

this weapon was slow and bad anyways… I won’t miss it

You just ain’t doin’ it right. HLLL attack chain is impressive horde clear and revved attacks do good single target damage… or they would if there wasn’t this stealth nerf.

Zealot has lots of attack speed buffs to make it good to use. I consider it better than the mk15.

Speaking of Eviscerator jank, I have noticed that the mk2 has an odd attack pattern as well. When doing HL>HL attack chains, you have to wait an abnormally long time for the light attack to end before you can start a heavy attack again - hence why I mentioned HLLL. The same thing also happens after a push attack.

it must be unintended because this weapon is so annoying makes me feel like being stuck in a gooey mess… It can’t move or dodge at all, also no attack speed + getting stuck in enemies and now also no more damage xD even if they would double the dmg, it would still be my last choice.

Fatshark replaced an armor downgrade mechanic (carapace to flak, flak to unarmoured) on zealot’s dash to 100% rending but an eviscerator deals more damage to flak that’s why it killed crushers in one revved-up attack before.

Yeah i need carapace roll now to reach the same breakpoint.

Ah, I haven’t tested any other weapons other than the other Eviscerator variant (and with that I could still one shot head shot with a revved heavy attack and FotF), but that would explain it.

So Fury of the Faithful was “reworked” and the patch notes don’t reflect that to its fullest extent.

A buff for the Mk II to compensate for the change would be in order then.
