So in case anyone doesnt know the perk I am referring to or how it works let me give a brief explanation. The perk 'Ghost' is a third star weapon perk that has a chance on hit to turn you invisible briefly. The chance is a 10% chance per shot to grant two seconds of invisibility.
Now the issue with Ghost. Ghost currently does not grant two seconds of invisibility and the 10% chance seems to be false. I tested this with and lmg and a plasma thrower to see if the perk works and this is what I found (thoughts on what is causing the issue at the end):
-the granted invisibility does not last two seconds on either weapon and lasted roughly half a second.
-The description also does not specify if continued shooting or movement will cancel the buff. I tried staying still and moving with no difference. I did not test shooting 1 shot at a time to see if stopping fire extends the time (was to hard to just shoot 1 shot instead of multiple with triggers)
-with the percentage chance of bullets activating stealth being 10% you would think roughly 1/10 bullets would turn you invis. To be generous lets say 1/20 shots should do it. Using my plasmathrower I got the perk to proc usually around 100+ rounds used (slight estimation as I would let go of trigger when activated). On the lmg I would get about 1/40 shots to activate it. Still not near the 10% mark. (Note i am not math wizard so I could be formulating this wrong)
-Ghost is not helping when caught or cautioned. Zero changes/help on a p-thrower and very finicky on an lmg.
Thoughts:
-This may just be me not using a suppressed weapon so its not working with stealth status but if thats the case why can heavies or energy weapons roll it?
-Chameleon mutation and Escape artist may effect the perk and how it works but I have not tested it enough to know
-Energy weapons are very buggy with stealth so testing may be flawed
-chameleon armor/cloaking/stealth on melee dmg taken may also effect how it functions
