If on kill is bugged also looking forward ot my 1M+ crit too :)

Thanks for the reminder - The auto-mod topics automatically un-sticky my threads so I need to check every day to ensure they're still visible.

Thanks for the tag! Will look to add these potential workarounds to the gather thread with my next update.

Hey there - A question regarding this understandably annoying issue:

Was the character that you encounter this on created during the demo or before April 2nd (Before our Day 1 patch was released)?

I have no issue with players affected getting some god-rolled gear and one off two tier III mods on their gear. What my concern is, with this out in the wild in the player population will this affect future balancing? Because if nerfs happen as a direct result of this, honestly, I’m not going to be ok with that. My sincere hope is that for future balancing PCF is keeping this in mind so that players without this one off gear do not have skills/mods further nerfed as a result of PCF restoring affected players.

All players who obtained items during the restoration have been tagged in our analytics.

So if they are, in any way, affecting the game-play metrics that we review to base our decisions on, we should be able to filter them out to get a true view of how the playing population with normally obtained gear is playing the game.

There are no plans to change any balance based on the metrics coming from gear that was granted during restoration (or will be granted as part of the community appreciation package).

I appreciate your response I really do but do you have any response to the increasingly occurring epic rarity items with two tier 3 mods? Surely that shouldn't have happened.

Also I checked I got a bunch of cannonball armour and like 5 Damascus offering LMGs lol

epic rarity items with two tier 3 mods

This was unfortunately a side effect of the complexities of our restoration process. To iron that particular issue out would have delayed the process even further and players have already waited long enough.

As items with two T3 mod capabilities are "one-offs", e.g. you won't find them in the wild, we had to balance the impact of granting them to players (relatively small impact) against pushing restoration out for another week or two (increasingly big impact).

No need to feel short-changed. There is a high likelihood that you will also get cool gear as part of our Group B restoration.

Lets use this form, i have experienced the bug before the patch, and have mentioned it several times the past month, but its almost permament now

Do you feel like you take excessively more damage since the patch?

    Answer: Not just a feeling, i got 2 tank builds that cannot survive hits i could ignore before

If yes, is this feeling…

    Consistent everytime the little save/load icon appears in the corner

If it appears to be consistent (A or C), does taking your armour off and putting it back on again change anything at all? Does logging out and back in change anything?

    Answer: Sometimes, and usually lasts until the first cutscene/area change

Did you change your armour to another item and back again before you noticed the issue? (i.e. you are wearing the same item as before, but you temporarily wore something else)

    Answer: Using same items as before patch, also tried all my stashed items and 3 different builds, with 2 different loadouts on 2

Have yo...

Can y'all clarify what you mean by "sold" as far as legos go? Does that cover scrapped legos, or not?

No, scrapped items are not considered in this case. Sold as in vendor'd.

Note: Some characters may require you to re-select a story point before you can start playing with them.

If you encounter any problems starting a game with the character, please go into your timeline and reselect the most recent story point.

Update 06 May 2021

Inventory Restoration for Group B characters is now underway and will complete over the next day or so.

As a reminder, here is what you can expect to happen:

  • Group B Restoration:
  • Who will benefit from this Restoration?
    • Players in both Group B and C who "lost" a legendary item up until 20 April 2021.
      • Group B are characters that lost gear but were still playable. Players may have continued playing on these characters since the wipe.
      • Group C are essentially all other players in the Outriders gaming population who did not encounter an inventory...

Quick follow up question - how many other (and which) "on kill" or "on shot" mods do you run in parallel when you have Mitigation from Death equipped?

It does seem to be completely random. Here's full hp And shields going down. I took off my armor before the expo FWIW.

In the 8 minutes prior to this video, was there an incident where a one-shot kill prevention mechanic might have triggered? Did you drop down to very low health from a single attack at one point but then recover from it during this particular run?

Or was your entire run always at near full HP and shields?

OK so based on that, this would be an example of a bug: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOIpi8q5J7A

But this happened prior to the most recent patch (4/25). I've been experiencing full 100% to 0% one-shots off and on pretty much since the game launched. When it comes from a telegraphed ability I can accept that I should have played better, however you seem to be indicating that even that is beyond the intended level of difficulty.

Thanks for the video - In the minutes before you receive such a one-shot, are there instances of the enemies hitting almost one-shot killing you? Basically, could it be that the one-shot prevention mechanic already triggered (and saved you) a short while before the actual one-shot kill occurred?

Essentially what I'm trying to see if if the prevention mechanic ever worked during these instances?

I have damage mitigation on, which is supppsed to give me armor when I kill someone while aiming down the sights. It doesn’t give me armor AT ALL. It’s not in certain scenario’s. It just doesn’t give me armor period. Plz fix thx

Just to check - do you mean Mitigation From Death?

Damage Mitigation is a different mod.

If yes, is this feeling… A) consistent (e.g. all enemies hit harder all the time) B) random (e.g. enemies will suddenly have one attack that hits much harder than anything else they were doing previously)? C) random but consistent once it appears (e.g. all enemies suddenly hit harder when they were not a moment before. This behaviour persists.)? If it appears to be consistent (A or C), does taking your armour off and putting it back on again change anything at all? Does logging out and back in change anything?

Answer: C, consistent to melee attack from Alpha and Brood enemies

Did you change your armour to another item and back again before you noticed the issue? (i.e. you are wearing the same item as before, but you temporarily wore something else)

Answer: NO. Tried this as a way to fix, unsuccessful

Have you noticed this issue occur consistently on a particular se...

Thanks for the report - just for clarity, do all brood mothers/alphas one-shot you all the time?

I don’t know if this is helpful – but there are some extremely bizarre things happening to stats. I had 11.2k health. I swapped my helmet for a near identical helmet (same level, same mods (I modded it), just slightly more AP – my health dropped to 5.6k. I thought that was strange, so I put my original helmet back on. Now I had 10.8k health… I put the new helmet on to try again, and I had 11.3k health. The numbers seemingly jump all over the place, and there’s no consistency.

I’ve noticed this happen with other pieces too, albeit the numbers were a little less drastic – but something is definitely screwy there.

Thanks, that is indeed behaviour that I have seen reported before in a few cases. Can you fill out the report form above as, even if something may not appear relevant, having information will be helpful.

Can you clarify if there are any situations in which a one-shot is intended mechanics? This would make it much easier to know if I'm seeing a bug or not.

There are mechanics in the game that should in theory prevent a complete one-shot (from 100% to 0%).

Latest update - 07.05.21

  • We believe we have identified one of the core underlying reasons for lack of the damage mitigation in certain circumstances. We are compiling and testing a new build with this fix included, but doing so will take a bit more time and the final roll-out will be dependent on it being successfully tested/confirmed as fixed. We will update you as soon as we have news.
  • While we continue to work on this matter, here are some potential Workarounds which have helped some players who encountered this issue consistently:
    • Un-equip all your armour, then re-equip it again
    • If this doesnt help, un-equip all armour, hard restart the full game (don't just return to lobby) then re-equip the armour.
    • Un-equip all armour, change to a different character and back again, re-equip armour.
      • More details on this kindly provided ...

Thanks for the report - Under what circumstances are you seeing this appear? I've noted that some players have mentioned that it happens after completing an expedition?
