Situation: Zeus with a Gauss in the left arm. Nothing else on the mech that can explode (no other ammo, like AMS, etc.) and no XL engine

Left arm is lost, and I'm dead by "weapon explosion"

Is that supposed to be possible? Is the damage transferring through what's left of the side torso and killing the center torso, or is this a bug?

Match time was 4:40 PM, EDT, on HPG Manifold, for what it's worth.

Gauss rifle itself can explode as a game balancing mechanic. 20 points of damage if the weapon itself is critted

[oldradagast]

Yes, but is the damage supposed to transfer through a side torso and then to the center torso for a kill? Maybe... just asking...

No, it's not. If you have video of this happening, then upload it as a bug.

If your arm, side and center torso were cherry red it might happen.
The damage keeps going inwards as long as there is still damage left to transfer. It is reduced by 50% for every "jump" so theoretically it could be any amount between 0 and (close to)5 points of damage to your center.

Has this been fixed, then? CASE has alternated between protecting against gauss rifle explosions and not protecting against them. Last time I checked it did nothing for them, but that was months ago.
