barrier champions unable to stun

[jeslls]

No side arm i have stuns a barrier champion now. using sidearm drang now but still no stun. The queenfoil censer says on all weapons requirements not met but auto rifle will stun and overload champion. Anyone else have this problem?

Just in case, you know how the barrier stun works, right? The champion puts up their shield when they take damage, you destroy the shield with the anti barrier weapon, and then they are stunned. You are saying the sidearms are not damaging the shield? Also worth checking to make sure you have that artifact mod on that character, it is possible you forgot to select it. Otherwise not sure what the issue might be, maybe someone say if it is a recent bug or other weird interaction.

'Requirement not met' only refers to how mods can be refunded so the point can be spent on another mod.
If a mod can't be refunded due to your current combination (ie you can't have less than 3 mods in column 1 if you have a mod in column 2) then it will say 'Requirement not met'. It does not affect the mod's function in any way.

Are you sure you are using it right? My sidearms go through sheilds fine. Also not sure, but you may have to look down sights, and hold it there for a second to charge before firing.

That behavior is not required for barrier champs. You can hip fire and crush barriers if you're using a weapon that matches the applied artifact mod. I believe the OP is expecting single shots from his sidearm (or autorifle) to stun, which Nibble explained well.

last year, unstoppable mod sometimes would not trigger with legendary handcannon, and specifically in lost sectors. But it seems to be related to the area and load issues bugging out, travelling too fast breaks the game. ie Sparrow down chamber of starlight, every single time, no enemies will load, the first area sure, but not the boss or anything so cant complete the sector.

I can tell some exotics have conflicts with seasonal modifiers to stun champions. Like uhh...last season I think...scout rifles could have unstoppable but wouldn't work on symmetry.

I played 2 legendary lost sectors, them soloed 2 master lost sectors that I just played. Side arm worked but 3rd day and 3rd legendary and master lost sectors no side arm would work. I change nothing other then different side arms after the ones that I used stop working. Thanks for the feedback anyway.

AFAIK, nothing's allowed to work on multiple types of champions. The intrinsic property of an exotic will always work regardless of what artifact mods you have. If, for example, the artifact mod equipped allows you to stun overloads with a llnear fusion rifle, Arbalist (the exotic) will NOT stun overloads because it intrinsically (and always) breaks barriers.

Hope that helps.
