Title: [0.9.9.3] Multi-Shambler
Post by: Battleguy on May 01, 2011, 22:20
Pulling the lever in Hells Armoury multiple times results in multiple Shamblers (And lots of XP if you can handle it).

I forgot to get a screenshot at the time, so I'm going to try again... in the meantime enjoy this picture.

Now if it spawned multiple rewards as well as multiple shamblers, I wouldn't call it a bug. But wow...

"Why Battleguy," You may ask "Why are you standing around in a patch of flowers?"
"Well my friend," I reply "I'm not, these are weapon mods."
"Weapon mods? How'd you get so many?"
"By using the Multi-Shambler Trick of course"
"Oh joy!"
Then, suddenly, the ALMIGHTY DEVELOPER STEPPED IN! "Grrr this bug angers me! I must patch it!"
"NOoooooo!" Screamed the children.

EDIT: Yeah, by pulling the lever and defeating the Shambler, you get the rewards, if you move them out, pull the lever, and defeat the shambler again, you get more, it even make different schematics.

Oh blast, I was actually too excited to kill the second shambler that I forgot to pick up the first round of trinkets!

Why is this in the Bug Reports section? This should be in the Totally Awesome section instead.

so now we have infinite exp AND a realistic chance of getting that nano pack that so many assemblies need?

Post by: Shoop da Whoop on May 03, 2011, 04:57
Actually, "infinite exp" can be only after you get ammochain. Else you'll run off of ammo and medpacks earlier or later.
/me thinks of shooting rockets in horde of shamblers.

Or you could beat them to death with your bare hands.

RIP AND TEAR

Small trick for defeating Shambler easy, bang a sniper mod on a chaingun/assault rifle and as soon and you pull the lever shoot to your left until win.

That's nice. Have anything for people not using Ammochain/Sniper Mods?

EDIT: Please spoiler the mortem, at first I thought this was a mortem post due to newpage.

But since Ammochain builds get it around the time they enter the Armory anyway...
*goes off to abuse the bug*

Killing the Shambler once is hard enough for me, do you really think I'd risk dying a second time?

Hmm... maybe?

Considering that each time you kill a Shambler, you get more EXP.  So technically, you get stronger and stronger over time.
Title: Re: [0.9.9.3] Multi-Shambler
Post by: Solarn on May 06, 2011, 23:59
Yeah, but at that point, I'm usually level 7, so I only get a bit more than 10% XP for each Shambler kill. I'd have to kill ten of the guys to be noticeably stronger, and I'd die before that.

Although there was that one time with two medical armors, a plasma rifle and MAc, but that was just for fun and I'd never have posted the mortem even if I had succeeded. (Shambler lightning takes off more than 25% of base health, even with an armor of 2.)

One of the last games I played I killed 394 shamblers.

This feature doesn't seem to be working for me... the lever disappears as soon as I've got one of them to worry about.
