Soldier's Syringe Bug

[AChristianGamer]

If you stack 137 Syringes on Acrid, plus a lot of other items (Nothing else specific I can see that would cause this), you start attacking so fast that your main attack no longer does damage because the next attack is happening before the prior 1 can start dealing damage.

The repeated inputs accessibility option does not effect Acrid's main attack with this bug.

I have not tested this on other characters, nor do I plan to.

Can confirm that Artificer breaks the Flamethrower ult after only 30 Syringes. It just stops doing the full cycle and lasts for around 2 frames instead

I thought syringe had a max stack of 13?

It was in RoR but it seems to be a soft cap this time. The effect is much lower beyond 13 - 15 but it is noticeable and it does seem to break some abilities. No idea why

Do you mean "No idea why they changed it from the original" or "No idea how it's happening"?

I'm pretty sure the reason it breaks is because of how the game handles it's attack animation frames, with some moves having their hitboxes deal damage frame 1, versus other moves that have their damage dealt after a longer amount of frames have passed.

Option B, not fully sure why its happening.

So if i use Artificer as an example, with the way you are explaining it, lets see if i understand correctly?
Flamethrower deals damage over 10 hits, each hit has a set number of frames. With higher attack speed those frames shorten, until with too much attack speed, they overlap. Because each frame is the same amount, the overlap happens simultaneously and instead of becoming crazy fast, you instead just loose 9/10 attack frames.

That actually makes sense. I hope i made sense explaining how i now see it? If im right, maybe its fixable with a patch?

You... You get Syringes...?
