Been trying out different custom class arrangements for endorsements, and was curious. The critical shot is never really defined, and minus the sniper, the game isn't exactly a "pxiel perfect" kind of shoot'em up. However, I noticed playing a few rounds and seeing a purple trail come from my shot. Is this the "critical shot"? So I would assume the endorsement increases the chance for a critical shot to occur?
Yes, I've been browsing the forums shamelessly at work this morning... and somewhere in the FAQ thread, I saw two instances of people saying that purple bullets (bullet trails) means you're firing a critical shot, and presumably the critical hit endorsement increases the chance of this happening, as well as the passive on the Assault class and the deploy on the Gunner. How much it increases the chance by seems to be unknown, as well as how much additional damage a critical shot does. I'm eagerly looking for answers.
If I'm not mistaken, not all critical shots are purple from every weapon. So there are different highlighters for different weapons.
It would be very nice to know the probability of it happening, otherwise it`s hard to tell whether a lot of the Assault upgrades are worth it.
It gives a possible critical attack on the dagger/sword slashes. There isn't an effect but there is a chance it'll do more damage. It does not affect grapples.
Since you guys are answering an endorsement question, does the rate of fire endorse affect the Support hurt/heal gun?
That was asked somewhere else but yes, the rate of fire endorsements affect the Heal/Hurt gun and the Tank's Jet Gun.
Thanks for the confirm, sometimes it's tricky to tell mid battle if healing is better or not Total Recoil with the jet gun is so nice, been using it since my first custom slot
Thanks man. You guys are so great answering these questions. I'm really happy to be able to support such a great developer.
