Piercing Mods

Nope. Works fine for me. Git gud. :rage:

Someone the other day said the same thing in another thread that piercing was doing zippola.

Seems like a bug. I host every game and it just staggers them.

Great, now you're here, too?  

What kind of weapon is it? Certain energy / plasma based weapons in ME3 had no piercing at all. Its likely similar in MEA.

Well, those sound like they should definitely pierce. Are you using any ammo consumables? I wonder if adding Incendiary, cryo, etc., would effect how the round pierces.  Just tossing out ideas.

Or its just another bug.  The game seems riddled with them.   

Yep.



Bioware is pretty Good at this whole play-testing thing

Yes, I'm experiencing the same issue with Vanquisher. Don't have Black Widow yet. The Isharay can shoot through cover with dmg, however.

Working as intended.

I at first thought this might be the case since it makes some amount of sense and tested it, but ... nope 



 

I tested the receivers for the other weapon classes, though, and shotgun receiver, pistol receiver, and AR receiver were all actually working as intended by doing damage through cover (tested on the Ruzad, the Carnifex, and the Sandstorm respectively). 

You were shooting him square in the balls.Maybe this guy was wearing a bullet proof combat cup.

Further testing done.
The Receiver mod (I have it at X - able to pierce through 2m large objects) works on those SR I used during test
- Black Widow II
- Valiant II
- Isharay X
- Indra X
- Widow X
- Incisor X
- Viper X

It didn't work on
- Shadow X (that was expected, it's a beam weapon -- strange we can select the receiver mod on it though)
- VANQUISHER X (since everyone uses it, that's what's giving the impression than the mod itself doesn't work) - the Vanquisher X + Receiver X only stun enemies behind cover, with no damage registered at all
- Lanat X (same as Vanquisher X : stun behind cover but no damage)
- Raptor X (same as Vanquisher and Lanat X, stun/no damage)

But it definitely work on weapons that had innate piercing in ME3 and weapons that don't (Indra). 
BTW BW doesn't have innate piercing in MEA.

I have clips of everything I mentioned, but I'm too lazy to upload it; you'll have to trust me or test it yourself.
