Idk if this is a bug but voidstrike seem does less dmg by 50% to body flak armor (not test much for other enemy type).
Bug chance often appear for both LMB and RMB (charge shot)
Thank you for your report, have you only noticed this issue with Flak Armour?
seem this is not bug because hit zone 2 hands and 2 legs of enemy only take 50% range damge. But voicstrike charge is impact damage so it often hit mauler hands (or other enemy hands) make it less effective.
Sorry my english is not good XD
I’ve noticed that, but in my opinion that is still a bug. The charged shot passes through enemies, so even if the first point of impact is the arm they’re holding in front of their chest, the blast travels completely through them, including their torso.
If the one staff that can travel through enemies still does ‘arm’ damage just because all enemies are holding their gun out in front of them, that is a bug. Or absurdly bad design.
It’s also not unique to flak. That same thing happens with any armor type (and unarmored), where the NPC might hold their arms out to cover their torso (because holding guns).
The obvious fix would be to make at least charged Voidstrike do 100% (torso damage) no matter if the first impact is arm or leg. The way it is now makes the staff incredibly unreliable. A fully charged shot may or may not kill something it’s supposed to kill in one hit.
Void strike doesn’t penetrate armour, so it stops on hitting maulers/crushers/armoured ragers/bulwark anyway.
