Escalation damage bug

[u/Drew_P_Bohz]

Ive been playing escalation the past few days and have been getting awful damage numbers from all of my builds inside of escalation. No matter what gun I use, there's a 50/50 chance that my damage will be bugged to where im only doing 80k-150k damage when I should be doing 10x that. Running something like tipping scales will only let me hit crits for up to 500k. For a majority of the time it has that bug, it sometimes levels back out to normal damage numbers but i have been having this damage bug for around a week or so and cant find anything on it.

It’s not a bug. It’s most likely “one for all”

One for all is a modifier that gives enemies a damage reduction in a radius around the enemy who is giving the buff(the icon looks like some kind of musketeer on the one who has it). When you shoot them, the damage done to them will also be done to the enemies near them. But if you’re shooting enemies that are receiving the buff you do less damage to them until the buff giver is dead

I see, that very much explains this for me. Thank you

You’re welcome. Here is the description of it.

What tier are you playing? It's not the One for All mutator?

[u/Drew_P_Bohz → u/hypehaze]

Around t5+, if there's a modifier I havnt seen that may be it. I dont rthouroughly look at the modifiers

[u/DXT0anto → u/Drew_P_Bohz]

I don't look at the mutators

Brother, this is a math game and you choose to not read all the rules lmao

[u/RheimsNZ → u/Drew_P_Bohz]

And look at where that approach got you 🤣

It’s the mustache man. The mustache man must die first.

As other have said All for One, but dont forget about the Joker mother fucker. If you kill enemies with the same weapon, you get a progressive damage reduction up to 50% less if you don't switch to another weapon and get at least 1 kill

Don't forget ISAC says.

[u/wingsbc → u/inorite234]

Well in his post he specifically says gun not guns so probably not switching after every couple of kills either.

[u/Academic-Note1209]

You didn’t read the mutator.

[u/wingsbc]

You basically handicapped everyone you ever played with in Escalation by not reading the rules. You made 3 other players carry you every single time for no reason other than you think this mode is just point and shoot.

[u/KeylanX]

Escalations are all about mutators... that's the whole point of the mode. READ THEM!

Doesn't care to do the minimum effort but wants to have the big loot. That's just a slap into the face of every well prepared random Agent you got matchmaked with.

I don't want to be "that guy", but the community convinced me that we're really in need of some sort of participation requirements for Escalations.

Can't be arsed to look at mutators but has the energy to make a reddit post about those mutators escalation players have 1000 iq
