Talk:Luminite Bullet

Piercing

Does anyone know if the bullets that pierce the enemies they do less damage? In the .gif image it shows with a the first skeleton withstanding 45 damage, then the last skeleton receives 39 damage. Or is this just chance? LordofEditing (talk) 02:36, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

The same GIF answers your question, the first shot does 45 40 42, so it's pure chance. Frenchiveruti (talk) 21:32, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

We should add the number of enemies that can be damaged at once. This can be seen by aligning a Target Dummy ,a Pigronata, a dummy... then shoot with a Sniper Rifle.I don't have the time to do that, but it would be good to do it. Lightg4 (talk) 21:16, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Low velocity

How does the luminite bullet have a velocity of 2? Its the second fastest bullet in the game after the high velocity bullet. Rareposuum (talk) 07:24, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

There is a hidden stat used mostly by ranged weapons called "extraUpdates". This acts as a velocity multiplier, making the effective velocity of a projectile equal to its Base velocity * (1 + extraUpdates). So a projectile with an extraUpdates value of 1 moves twice as fast, and one with 5 (the value Luminite Bullets have) moves 6 times faster than usual. Check the Velocity page for more information.

Actual pierce count and damage reduction?

The notes claim that the bullets pierce 49 enemies, damaging a total of 50, but the gif in the same section shows them piercing 30 target dummies and dissipating after hitting the 31st dummy.
Additionally, the claimed 4% damage reduction after each pierce doesn't match with the gif either. If the reduction was additive, the damage would be reduced to 0 by the 26th dummy, whereas if it was multiplicative, the bullets should still deal ~30% damage to the 31st target, but in the gif the dummy only takes 1 damage.

1. How much pierce do the Luminite Bullets actually have?
2. How much is the damage reduced after each pierce?
3. Are these discrepancies caused by currently-undocumented version differences, or am I misunderstanding something?
