Confirmed bug; raider exploit. ..

Post » Mon Feb 15, 2016 12:59 pm

Just managed to reproduce this after seeing it earlier today.


Easy to reproduce... when being attacked by raiders, leave one dead on the floor (i.e don't click on them), when the next raid occurs, wait until they're attacking the door and then click on the dead raider from the previous attack, it will 'cash in' and one of the raiders outside the door will keel over and die. Tap on them and another dies, I haven't tried killing them all, I thought it probably not a good idea to kill off the raiders before they had got in! Anyway, all you need to do is not tap the last raider for each attack and you'll have an easy life.


One thing I was going to test but haven't had the chance yet, what happens if you tap on the dead raider during a deathclaw attack...

Just tried, it doesn't work. The corpse already gone when the next raiders come. It is only 10 mins away.

Odd, I did forget to say I'm on Android, game version 1.3 and playing in survival mode. I managed to get it to happen again last night. Also managed to test it against Deathclaws, sadly it doesn't mean instadeath to them, so it only affects raiders.

This is mostly just a graphical glitch. I experimented a bit, and if you use this method to kill all but one raider, that one raider will be as strong as the whole group of raiders combined. Both in terms of damage they do, and how long they take to kill.

Yeah, I'd come to the same conclusion, apart from the fact you can kill the last raider by tapping on all the dead bodies. Eg. Leave one raider dead I've the floor and with the next raid, kill them one by one and taping on the penultimate dead raider kills the last raider, so at list over raid can be cut short.

Oh. Yeah, never tried killing the last one, but if that works, not just a graphical glitch, after all.
