Burner Phones

[Oynnet]

Do burner phones give wrong information? It'll say "third shell is live" and then you shoot the third shell and it is a blank.

Hi, thanks for reporting! It seems to be a bug. If you didn't play another match after encountering the issue, can you send us your player logs?

The logs are located at:
C:\Users/YOUR_USER/AppData/Roaming/Godot/app_userdata/Buckshot Roulette/logs

You can upload the file to any cloud service (like Google Drive or Dropbox) and drop the link here, or you can send the file directly to me on discord (@c4pt41n)

So, unless it IS a bug but it feels more like that if you used up shots before using the phone then what the phone says will be AFTER that call was made.

Yeah, for some reason the phone numbers the shells from the moment you used the phone. So let's say you had 8 shells; if the fourth shell was live and you had just used the third, the phone would say "First shell... live round."

It's honestly confusing how it's done, it should probably be changed.

It's way less confusing the way it's currently done. Otherwise you'd have to remember how many shells have been shot at all times. This way you just count from where you currently are.

If it tells you "Third shell is LIVE", then you know that the after the gun has been fired/unloaded twice, the next one is live. What exactly is confusing about this?

That's where misinformation can spread because the phone in this case can be wrong about how many shells are in the chamber, because even in the endless mode when I used the phone and said "third shell is blank" I'd get to that point and the shell was live instead, it's not as straight forward as it should be and given that the dev themselves even has the idea of it being a bug should put some doubt that what's said on the phone won't always be accurate.

The phone being wrong has little to nothing to do with how the phone counts shells. If it's wrong, it's wrong. The only difference is that it would say "seventh shell is blank" and then you fire the gun three times and the third one - being the seventh in the load - is live.

no, burner phone will never give you fake info: if round/s have been shot, it will tell you since the bullet it's in the chamber.

if you got 4 lives 4 round, shoot one, blank, burner phone and says it's the third shell, it's actually the fourth, because you shot one.

me also had several times met misinformation from phone as i consider

PLEASE TELL clear what is the design for game:
do phone gives shot number n sequence meaning from full load or the rest unshot
queue? phone counts from head or tail? i mean 1st (3rd)shell is that closest to the trigger or 1st is closest to the bottom of magazine ,( was loaded first and gonna be shot last?)

so i watch replay and rethink my decisions about if it were player mistake, game error or cheats?
we can send you logs and video to consider after that

no its unclear 1st sifrom head or tail? if head so what is head? played many matched and have seen and commited so many wrong choice made on phone info so phone is most unclear and totally unreliable item. sometimes it says no luck . we get it as "info was relevant for past time " or what?

The phone will never tell you what the current or next shell is. If there's fewer than three shells left in the gun then it will just say "how unfortunate" and you'll waste the item. That's an intentional game mechanic.

The phone counts the shells in the order they are fired. There's no reason it would be counting from the final shell backwards.

It literally will go "X shell is Y" meaning it is counting the sequence. I've seen "Third shell is X" and "Fifth shell is X" and that's including firing a few times.

100% agreed. And I've never had one give the wrong information.
