[2021] "Kill stealing", and the mechanics that suffer from it.

@[DE]Momaw Can you tell us the exact chance of generating a Mutation stack for enemies held by Larva but killed by allies?

So there's two ways to answer this. One is explaining how you can check yourself, and the other is to just give you a number.  You can verify for yourself by getting another person in your party and head to the Simulacrum. Summon 10 enemies, gather them with Larva, then have the other player kill them.  Keep a record of how many stacks you gain each time and take an average.

The way you'll just have to trust me is to say: 50%

3 stacks (15 charges) to gain a charge if your maggot actually deals the final blow on an enemy (they won't)

This is not an accurate understanding of how the power works...  Maggots also give you a stack of Mutation any time they hit an enemy with their death explosion, and you can detonate Maggots by hitting them with Virulence.  If you hold down the casting button, you can see an icon that shows you the position of your Maggots so you can get a sense of where to aim to detonate a bunch at once. You can see the Maggot explosion radius in the arsenal, it starts at 4 meters and is affected by Power Range.
