Sniper's insane melee damage

Issue Type (Required):

Enemy Mechanics

Issue Description (Required):

For some reason sniper completely broke my toughness and did 50 health damage (true grit arbites skill maximum) on havoc 32 mission. (melee enemy power increase 5)
I didn’t have most of my buffs up except for “Lone wolf” but im not sure if he was supposed to deal over 135 toughness damage and deal so much health damage afterwards as well.
That makes me wonder if any other enemies use different damage profiles on their melee ranged attacks sometimes.
Or maybe its just that much damage on havoc 32. Sorry if its not bugged and im just supposed to instantly die to sniper melee attack.
I did not take as much damage on damnation mission that i played later, so it might be related to me ambushing sniper this way. (perhaps attack speed increase messes up enemy damage?)

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

  1. Ambush sniper and make him perform melee attack
  2. Take extraordinary melee damage, akin to sniper shot from his melee attack.

there was 2 snipers there, they both melee’d you at the same time

first sniper hit you, and put you to 36 toughness

Reminder that at Havoc 32 (yes, exactly havoc 32) the max value for enemy melee power gets enabled, making melee attacks deal 50% more dmg to you

there are many more enemies that can bash u and it really hurts with 0 toughness

This is Sparta

I saw a scum get kicked a few times by a waiting sniper while getting slammed by a mutant and it instantly downed him. Those kicks are pretty dangerous when they’re in the space to get them in.

They were just chilling inside each other’s body, I’d be pretty upset too if you show up like that uninvited.
