I thought I read a while back that things had been changed so you couldn't fire more than 2 gauss at once. Is this still true?

[Kain Demos]

Yes

well then..I just had a match where something very very fishy happened....

Show us on the doll where the bad gauss touched you

[DONTOR]

You can fire 2 but 3 is supposed to be imposible. A third can be fired .5 seconds later though so maybe that is what happened.

If you're talking about someone firing a gauss it might look like they're firing more than 2 at a time during spec view.

I suppose it is possible that multiple enemies all fired dual gauss at the exact same time, and all hit the exact same section of my mech at the exact same time (as I was moving)...but is extraordinarily unlikely...

I was in a group in the last while where the entire team was running as much Gauss as we could fit. Two Direwhales, two Jagers and a Timby, A Centy and Cicada IIRC.

Folks are doing it, so there's a chance.

It's possible to fire 2 sets of 2 gauss from a Direwolf within someone short succession. But hitting both sets on the same location is still a feat.

i have been insta-gibbed in a....summoner? i think, it was a heavy at least, don't remember what i was running, but long story short, one DW, 2 Gauss and Yellow armor to dead in one shot. no foul play suspected, just a good shot and some crazy critical hit or something.

Would you like to elaborate on what happened? Or should we all continue commenting with 0% of the facts?

When I was in dropship 5 before 3333 we used to run all dual guass games.

He got ownt by several ppl hitting him at once with gauss and thinks it was one guy

What did your damage thing at the end say (where it tells you what weapons hit you)? Hit by: ...

wait? details are important? lol

in a twolf....took a gauss shot to the rt...cored, it went from not a single scratch to yellow internals with an srm launcher lost to a crit hit
only 1 enemy in sight..and pretty sure it was the only enemy that could see me in the hills of forest colony, the rest of my team was angaged with the main enemy force several hills over (not sure of the grid locations)

Well that's something we can work with...1 ton of ammo in that torso got crit'd and blew it out, not enough damage to transfer to CT?

That's my guess.

EDIT: Wait, you said NO prior damage? What's the front armor on that torso?

I lived through it, so the damage at the end isn't accurate as to what happened

50

[occusoj]

If there really was just one enemy it could have been registering or in a location where it shouldnt.So for example you get shot straight on front CT but rear gets damage too. You got shot front RT but both shots of that double gauss registered back RT where the usual TW have 10-15 armor. So theres still 15 damage passing on to internals. Shouldnt rip the whole torso off. Did you have ammo there?

Double registering damage happens too but all I have ever seen was to different locations, never double in the same spot though.
