Instakill - Getting oneshot by Electo pests

[sonic16]

I don't know if it's the carapase armor bug again, but I'm getting often one shot by electro pests when in range of their electroshock. Even our tamed eletro pest killed me once while trying to pounce on an enemy.
Was playing carefully with a friend, with a personal permadeath challenge. Now the game lost all interest for me. Got killed 3 times in 2 - 3 hours. No need to pay attention and be careful anymore, got bored quickly.

It certainly sounds like the carapace armor bug, but I thought they fixed that a while back

I've had that happen a few times, sounds like their attack is hitting you multiple times per frame causing instadeath, similar to the Elden Ring dog bug.

That sounds like the carapace bug yes. I don't know if they fixed it completely. Do you have fortitude 15 by any chance? Because that does something similar.


Easiest test is to play a while with the forge armor and see if it stops.

no I don't have my fortitude that high. lvl 5 or 6 mb. Got 2 carapace armor sets and 2 forge armor pieces. I guess I can switch to bionic leg armor just like my friend who had no problems at all.

For science sake, try it out :) And make a bug report if you are reasonable sure that it is the carapace bug back.

I'll try it too next time I go capacitor farming.

So I continued and older world and the electro pests got me, too.
Instakill but not from full health. Interestingly the chest armor wasn't destroyed as it usually does but heavily damaged. So I went back with full heath and this thing killed 90% of my health with one blast in carapace armor.

Next try, forge armor. Took only like 20~30% of my health and did way less damage to the armor itself.

There is still something wrong with the carapace armor.

happened to me two times in the last hours the reson is when you are crouched you get onehited, if you stand normal you dont get onehited This is what i found out.

Just happened to me wearing carapace armour. Spawned from portals, instakilled me. I respawned at my other base, by the time I got back my farms had been destroyed >:(

[MechWarden]

Ouch, sorry to hear.

I don't like the idea of Electro-Pests spawning in those Portal Storms simply because of how much unavoidable and wide spread damage they can do.

Feels a bit too punitive to drop those things on you, simply because you didn't put in the Portal Suppression Field upgrade in time.
