List of questions for devs

[destroyor]

• Does heavy punch work on pneumatic strike from combat gloves?
• What's the actual chance of setting a target on fire from Pyromaniac? Is it a fixed %, based on effective Metathermics skill or something else?
• Would like to confirm if additional stealth damage for snipe is based on effective or base stealth skill point. Ditto for ambush.
• Would like to confirm if it's base or effective total armor penalty being added as critical damage bonus for Heavyweight. Is this bonus display correctly on the combat stat screen?
• Will you implement an indicator on the cursor for ambush?
• Will you update the combat stat screen to indicate critical chance and bonus for grenades and throwing knives?

Thanks in advance.

And additional question about Heavyweight. Is it intended that this bonus doesn't work with Critical Power feat or is it a bug?

1. Yes
2. Pyrokinesis and Thermodynamic Desestabilization 50% and Pyrokinetic Stream 20%. The values are fixed, only damage is increased.
3. Snipe should take in account effective skill points, the same for Ambush.
4. I'm planning a sledgehammer tin can playthrought for Expedition, can't confirm this one but Heavyweight should take your general armor penalty (armor suit, boots, metal helmet) to the critical damage bonus.

@MirddinEmris

Heavyweight and Critical Power *should* synergize, if not then it is definitely a bug.

[destroyor]

Thanks for the answers Yonaiker. Did you determine the % by testing or look at the code of the game or?

Still would like a dev to give some official answer as I'm thinking of adding a feat explanation section in my guide.

[Yonaiker]

The values appear on the skill description, they always refresh when the value is changed by any means (leveling up, food, gear, etc.)

[destroyor]

O_O ... I didn't realize chances are right there on the skill description. I have shit ton of hours on this game too.

The weird thing is, I was able to set enemy on fire using Thermodynamic Desestabilization without Pyromaniac.

[Yonaiker]

Yeah, that is something I have seen too, I thought it was intended but likely a small glitch.
