Good news bloodied pacifist players, a new exploit to murder you exists

Post contains a video of it happening to a pair of guys in their base

Sounds like a syringer hit

https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Karma_syringe_barrel_(Fallout_76)

This barrel gives you a +50 hp buff, so when it wears off (and in the video its at about 30s) the player goes -50 hp

Since the radiation keeps them from gaining a HP buff they just kneel over

Would have been smart for the guy to have pulled out a camera and taken a look around (reveals players names who are crouched / invisible)

Should this be the Karma Syringer bypassing pacifist mode and killing bloodied players, then literally anyone can do it

[insert food here]

Yeah same for me. My bloodied 19.9% hp is over 100 hp i think with my build and all my buffs. Take that 50 hp and see if i care. Tis but a scratch xD

Thanks for the heads up.

[LatetotheParty]

yay






I guess

I will just have to carry more Stimpacks for my Bloodied friends. Okie Dokie, Lets get out there, that's what we are here for. Well that's what I heard when we first started anyway.

You can drop dead from endurance changes, had that happen a few times while RNG farming mutations on lowbies lol.

Problem is it will likely happen at their camp or when they aren't around other players

The last time this bug existed, the syringer needed a radiation mine to cause rad damage, now it just the syringer shot alone that will kill people (and its been tested and confirmed that that is all that is required)

So the only risk a player had was in doing something themselves to bump up their own hp, not a stranger maliciously doing it

Damm, I will have to put a Responder Mole in every hole on this big map.

That's a lot of moles.

Well cannibal can be used on downed players right?

Combine this with eating them?

Put in a ticket last week about this because I by accident hit someone in my team with the Karma Stinger and they ended up getting knocked..

In game it says it gives you +50 hp but doesn't say anything about subtracting that hp.. but the game is subtracting both +50 and giving you a -50 so losing a total of -100hp and the support agent told me it wasn't suppose to be doing that only removing the +50hp so I guess could be patched on the next update unless more people start abusing this bug and it could get patched sooner.

That's simple server not keeping up with ♥♥♥♥ again, same as the oh I am hit by nothing 2 minutes after the fight.

Depends

Players murder by the tens of thousands to millions EACH of - humans, animals (including those on the verge of extinction), medically sick individuals and sick animals, sapient mutated lifeforms, intelligent extraterrestrial creatures, etc etc etc

So is killing one player to save literally countless NPC's evil or good?

I'd argue its a massively high karma choice

Depends what player and what NPCs.

Then it becomes a deeper consideration of forced roles, free choice, sentience, and much many more shenanigans. Simplified, however; is either the NPC or player deaths actually hurting anyone? If no to both, then karma is not involved at all - I say the gods of RNG and their particular favor more applicable.

Wah wah wah. Bloodied players going to cry to Bethesda again? Need another change to make the game easier again?

Even though it's a bug, it's a good one to finally 'balance' risk vs reward. Just like how Todd wanted this game at the start, the real risk is other players. Todd gets what Todd wants...
