AMS or you left ammo in your mech.

I don't think I've gotten an ammo explosion when I have been able to find the ton of ammo that I've personally misplaced or completely forgotten about.

It was just a glitch, I even checked my loadout, no AMS equiped, and no ammo of any kind left, not even in the head.. But it hasn't happened in a long, long time.

One small complaint -> there is no damage transfer from destroying and arm to Side Torso. Only from Legs -> Side T - > CT

What? No, there is most definitely damage transfer from arms to side torso.

Try it yourself; go to the Training Grounds and shoot the arm off a 'mech. Keep firing at the debris left over and see the side torso take damage. After the side torso is destroyed, keep firing at that arm debris and watch the CT take damage.

I'm telling you that if you clean shot off an arm, there is no side torso transfer. I've been plaing my CTF's for over a year and a half now and not once has it transfered damage.


If you are skeptical, I invite you to do space science. PM me if you're in game and we can drop and shoot each others arms off.



For the record, I'm aware there is transfer if you shoot at the remains of the arms, which will transfer damage a 30% reduced rate, which is why Cataphracts are significantly more bulky as part of their Side Torsos were made into Arm Hitboxes. However, at the impact the arm is destroyed, none of the rest of the alpha that destroyed the arm will transfer.

Sorry, I misunderstood you. The shot that takes off the arm might not transfer damage, you may be correct in that - I haven't checked it, but I have no reason to not believe you.

I thought you said there were no damage-transfer from arms to side torso period. Sorry

Oh, and the transfer rate is 50%, not 30%.

Is it REALLY 50%?! I was sure it was 30%.... we must do sphess science...

Let's hope it stays a glitch, and not a feature.

Heh, you're just aching for a chance to use me as a willing target, aren't you?

Yes, it's 50% from arm to side torso, then 50% from side torso to center torso - which makes arm to center torso 25%,

March 18th Patch:

Game Play
- To slow down the time to kill, we've increased the damage transfer from criticals to internal structure from 15% to 100%
- In addition, random ammo explosions will take place when you lose a limb to mimic the combustable nature of actuators
