And then there's the opposite end of the spectrum where if you use Alba arms it reduces coral oscillator's range by around 100m

[@antarescypher2551]

Are you serious? i am running one on a Zowort cosplay build and i kept wondering how the wave was missing

[@MEGASTRIX]

WHAT THE HECK THAT EXPLAINS IT.

[@vonrelevanz1963]

Coral oscillator was tremendously bugged before the latest patch. Your frame build changed if it worked or not. Working setup, swap arms: stops working. Swap arms back and swap core: still doesn't work. Swapped core with swapped arms: works again...

[@mannmann314]

Damn I was just using it with alba arms in the training thing and the actual blade wasn't even showing up when I used it. And then just happened to see this comment

[@xendakakorva3267]

Thats not the only bug, there's one that makes the blade downright USELESS if your using the alba arms, HAL Torso and certain legs which is honestly HILARIOUS

[@eloverlord96]

Oh good to know, thanks for the info!

[@OG1Jayy]

Dude the blade does work on the Hal torso.

[@Mrjvc163]

[@thegreatazal5021]

I was literally using it on my new tetra and wondering why it was so good literally cut a Missile boat out of the sky.

[@Uselssman]

that may also be similar to the plasma thrower, i swear with quad legs if you're in range it hits 100% of the time

[@Morveyn]

Nah, the HMMR just benefits from quads/tanks in that you can keep moving while swinging the damn thing, so you can better control the reach on it against moving targets. This is a whole different ballpark of meme beamery.

[@OldKing11100]

Holy cow. I was wondering about that and I think you're right. I use reverse joints and a super speedy build and I always get caught by quad legs melee which is bizarre.

[@somechinesedude5466]

​@@Morveynthe yoyo projectile is too small to even be tracked by its user 😂 It won't be guaranteed hit, but at 50m & 2 attack, 1 of them will 100% hit Its essesiantly shotgun with bigger damage

[@JaggedJack1]

@@Morveyn "meme beamery" 🤣

[@LaiN900]

at least you can stay out of reach from that one.

[@_VISKAR_]

I was testing this recently and noticing this tracking was insane too. A couple other things I noticed: 1) Orbiter core seems to have the best hitbox for connecting at long ranges (at least when combined with BASHO arms) 2) If you have weapon bay items on your back slot, it causes the sweep to swing in a downwards diagonal arc instead of horizontal. It still hits but makes doing some of the manual aim tricks really awkward. (Seems like only some weapon bay items work though, it's kind of random)

[@utillinthehopeful6933]

That really sounds cool as hell though can you imagine just stunning somebody and seeing a giant red beam come down on you instead of trying to slice you in half horizontally

[@connormccarthy2745]

Yay, finally something scummier than double Zimms! Honestly though, props to the AC6 PVP community, this game has pretty rough balancing but i still see most people using fun, creative shit in team battles with randoms.

[@aaftiyoDkcdicurak]

I got into a room with COD players using this (now I know about it) and calling me cheap for using missile builds. The kind of people who would say they cheated fare and square.

[@Ceruleanara]

The strangest thing about this is how it seems to vary in tracking performance with every part that is changed.

[@osakanone]

It plays an animation: It doesn't have tracking performance.

[@Tojo_cartoons797]

I got like 1200 points in a 3v3s with this set up a few hours ago and wondered why even super fast builds where getting caught in the beam

[@OldKing11100]

You probably got me lol.

[@icecreambone]

at first it seems like a bugged interaction with tetrapod's innate ability to pitch up and down with what you're targeting, but good lord i have no idea why it tracks 360 around you as well, what kind of noscope bullshit is that lol

[@ghosthero0806]

it's because tetra legs don't stop moving when you use a melee weapon, and so they clearly didn't plan for this interacting but it makes it so that you're not locked in place at all when swinging a melee, even a fully charged beam sweep from the coral oscillator. i hope that they fix this specific interaction and don't take away the biggest benefit of tetra legs just to deal with one buggy interaction.

[@bignasty389]

@@HopelessEvenings So your argument is that this extreme damage, insta stagger, huge range weapon that's guaranteed to hit is balanced because if you're completely face humping your opponent it's possible to avoid? Okay cool so that's just the definition of completely overpowered vs. literally 100% broken.

[@icecreambone]

@@HopelessEvenings you can also probably parry and counter with a shield, though i don't have anyone to test that with (as a melee weapon and a coral weapon it does have some PA interference, so i'm not sure whether it can just nuke your shield instantly). i'm not sure i quite like how rock-paper-scissors that makes it, but a weapon like this is probably supposed to be high risk high reward anyways

[@icecreambone]

@@HopelessEvenings where did you get this info? not doubting you, it's just that whenever i try to google pulse shields i get guides for balteus instead

[@aaftiyoDkcdicurak]

​@@bignasty389they gotta say shit like that so people think they are gud😎

[@dsagent]

I FEAKING KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP! Sunday I ran into this build so much!

[@aaftiyoDkcdicurak]

And did they tell you not to use missile builds because "they"are cheap. My new policy is, I play with whatever I want deal with it.

[@OG1Jayy]

So I just did some testing, and it looks like you can avoid getting hit by it by moving directly under the enemy AC.

[@aurumarma5711]

Finally, I can play like Balteus with his stupid tracking flamethrowers.

[@Stroimex]

*Ghiaccio ranting on the distance*

[@chadmaster4703]

oh no the missile boats were bad enough

[@NeonFox-kt2cx]

No lie I was working on a quad coral build and noticed this against the trainer AC, where you'd have insane tracking on them even swinging past where your camera can even see them. I just thought it was a feature of the weapon to be honest! Crazy that its so leg dependent.

[@jobanajoestar435]

i accidently used a giga meta build huh

[@nodn4rb]

This whole time I thought I just forgot how to dodge the oscillator’s attack

[@Wolfspyryt]

Nice got another build to watch out for not to create and to kick when it’s in the room lol

[@aaftiyoDkcdicurak]

I hate the online experience. Searching lobby's like it was the 90s to wait for everyone to hit the ready button while people are peaking at build. You should just be shat out into random matches with strangers unless you teamed up with friends beforehand.

[@ShiniDoesDubz]

Theres also a bug with the plasma thrower where if you swap to it after using a different melee on the same shoulder or use it after you use a shoulder weapon it will do the animation for the first whip but nothing comes out thus making it a waste of an attack lol this also happens on tetrapod the most with me

[@pakothetaco9573]

Alright I knew i was getting shit on but damn lmao

I Still Haven't Unlocked It...

[@iFluxyy]

Has anyone ever experienced the "No particle effects" bug for the oscillator that renders its visual hurtbox completely invisible?

[@giuseppinamastropaolo7004]

With some other frame parts this weapon is unable to hit the target even at point blank range.

[@minigamez5879]

WOW i actually went againts someone using this and was so confused on why it was hitting me so much on top of why he was spamming it so much. Suprise suprise i still beat him, some of these players need alot of hand holding just to almost win.😂

[@humha7613]

Jammer bomb enjoyer: what's a "never miss" hard lock?

[@zTribalX]

Note to self.. No PvP till this is fixed

[@Zweilvish]

you can see what the players AC is like before starting a match

[@RexnanoX]

Is this really a bug? cause I get the same effect with any legs I use as long as I'm in the air, and depending on my fcs range it just tracks them throughout the animation

[@NemesisUmbral]

I don’t think it’s a bug, the WLT 101’s charge attack generally has insane tracking. However, I cannot debunk if quads actually make it more consistent.

[@RavenFlau]

Yes this is a bug. I use the this blade on bipeds and yeah they have good tracking, but good players are easily able to evade it by going under. With quads though, it will hit 100% of the time

[@ghosthero0806]

with quad legs and hard lock you literally cannot miss. it's different than just good tracking.

[@NathanTruby]

So thats why everyone kept targeting me in 3v3s...

[@quelldieu7263]

tetrapod just made melee tracking better on it lol

[@adhdasdfroflxd123]

Yo shoutout to Shu

[@pizzamechman8380]

That a bug? Aint it a feauture for tanjs and quad.The 360 rotoscope tracking

[@ghosthero0806]

that's how melee is intended to work with quads and tanks yes, but it's clearly an oversight that it interacts the same way with this charged attack that is supposed to lock you in place.

[@zenks5883]

I hope it's fixed by now 😕 I really want this weapon but i have to do my 4th playthrough of the campaign to unlock it, very cringe game design on battlelogs and stuff, i really feel like after NG++ completed you should have all the parts

[@IsraTheBlack]

I think there are more melee weapons that act in a similar way. I once met a player that managed to always hit me with the laser lance which made it look very laggy, but only that once attack seemed laggy. The only way to avoid it was to go vertical. He was using heavy biped legs iirc.

[@T1Oracle]

I don't even have this weapon unlocked yet and I'm getting owned by it in PVP. 😢

[@Myndrr]

Yeah it sucks, hope they fix it soon.

[@gunter2663]

tried it, confirmed not true

[@sonnypally6]

Wouldn't be a FromSoft game without a game breaking bug lol.

[@TheAnaz41745]

Is this a bug or a feature? Quad legs having better tracking makes sense due to its 360 rotation and airborne flexibility. Maybe it's an inherent advantage like how quad uses the Yoyo much better than the bipeds

[@PDfrens]

And it goes through walls, plus hard lock can track for you! Quad takeover LMAO

[@iGrozni]

I hope FROM patches this out fast 😅

[@kirbyis4ever]

Honestly the best move. The more outrage the faster they'll look into it. I suggest making a frag movie out of the whole thing.

[@OlyPhoenix86]

If you are the host of the lobby and you have some scum bag using it kick him out.

[@MisterCynic18]

Wonder how long until pvp is just going to be unplayable

[@kirbyis4ever]

As long as people use other funny builds and show good sportsmanship we'll be fine. I saw a tournament during the first week for PVP. Notable things: Tetrapods with boost kick did monstrous damage and interrupted the enemy. It looked really annoying to fight. One of the "redshift" weapons were banned.

[@somechinesedude5466]

Does range & height matter with this bug? Or its basically "no logic, damage button"? As in it will hit even if they aren't in range This weapon also has bug where it doesn't deal any damage More reason to patch it out i guess I rarely see any coralist with quad, so its never an issue

[@MisterCynic18]

Well now that this video is out you'll start seeing them lol

[@ghosthero0806]

range and height do not matter. it is perfect tracking and unavoidable.

time to play quad!

[@Ghost48888]

easy counter dash clockwise around the player using the beam and hes stuck with no way to defend himself. put a big spike in him

[@detectivecolonel874]

Except the bug is that it will track you no matter how far you get around them. It can turn 360 degrees and the vertical tracking is perfect too. As if the 100% hit rate on one of the most damaging and impactful weapons in the game wasn't bad enough, quad legs are already extremely stable and difficult to stagger. Basically, you'd tickle him with your stun needles and then get vaporized by the oscillator and whatever back weapons the quad has.

[@inixi8ocelot]

That's usually the counter, but with this bug, it's 100% connects even if you boost clockwise.

[@inixi8ocelot]

@@HopelessEvenings I know the free aim tech ever since it was a YT reveal tech. This is actually a double edge bug going on with the coral Oscillator. 100% tracking with hard lock on, or 0% damage with some parts equipped.
