Mercenary self damage?

[Bruh]

Apparently you can damage yourself by using Eviscerate in air & aim at ground, cant suicide though. Didn't happen before the patch, not to my experience. Is this how it supposed to be now?

I got the same thing happening, also only after the first patch. In addition, Mercenary's 3rd ability "Blinding Assault" can hurt you in the same exact way, probably because both abilities' dashes work (as far as i know) identical with no enemies around. (yes i know the 3 has a small wind up and the 4 doesn't, but i mean the dashing part)

Can 100% confirm it happened before the patch as well, falling damage I guess

Just test it, blinding assault didn't do damage in my case.

Yep, works like falling damage can get to 1 hp at most. At least it makes the 1 hp teleporter charge challenge easier lol. But seriously mercenary isn't very enjoyable with all these afterburner charge reset; late game invi-piercing elite burning DOT; and self damage issues.

yea pretty sure it's fall damage, cuz with the item "H3AD-5T v2"(which, among other things, makes you take no fall damage) i cant replicate that damage. maybe the game calculates fall damage based on your vertical speed or something and it just kinda dies trying to figure out if ur supposed to take fall damage when using Eviscerate.
