Unwiki'd Unique Sighting
« on: October 25, 2009, 06:48 »

Right, so I'm cheating my way around Ao100 for the heck of it, seeing what's lurking around the depths, when I find a Sniper Mod Pack, or something along those lines, laying on the floor of level 56 (or maybe 57. One of those two.). The description blurb says something about advanced auto-hit functionality, or along those lines; should have took a screencap, but eh.

Anyway, I slap it on my advanced plasma, which now sports a delightful S1 on it's mod string. Thing is, I'm not really sure what the thing's doing, which is why I've come here; as near as I can tell, it's either given my plasma some sort of crit function (1d10 rifle took down an Arachnotron two shots into the round) or having it occasionally function like the rail rifle (I'm entirely not sure on that one, it's hard to tell via eyeballing it. That being said, I've had rounds hit walls on the other side of the target despite the target not being dead.).

Has anyone else found this thing or code dived enough to know what it's doing?

EDIT: Definately not pierce-through. Just noticed the doomrifle's bouncing around barons and such, so the times of it hitting the wall past the target were probably just cases of it knocking them out of the way early in the volley.

I've seen Nano Packs and Onyx Packs too. The Wiki is still rather incomplete.

Wow, man, come on. You registered just for that?

2 things:

1) The wiki is a community project, just like i've stated before. If you feel that something's missing/not right, edit it, and we can take a look at the validity of it later.

2) We can only work with what we're given. If none of the regulars of the wiki have found something ingame, then we can't really put them up there (During the betas, half of the testers thought that the Nano and Onyx modpacks were a myth just because of how broken they seemed.)

Fortunatly, Kornel's happened to tell me that the sniper mod makes all rounds auto-hit, like V or R attacks. If one of you guys hasn't ninja'd me beforehand, then i'll edit it in after I get some sleep.

Registered to ask what the thing was, yes. Any other questions I've had were either answered in the forum or on the wiki... this one just happened not to be. The 'unwiki'd' wasn't intended in any way to be a critque of the wiki, just to identify that yes, I had tried to find information, but I didn't manage to.

Thank you for the answer, by the by. Curiousity sated, I can go along my merry way.

Well, I mean, if you don't want to contribute to the community, that's...fine. I think.
