Talk:Punch Through (Mechanic)/@comment-72.193.67.162-20130821174737

So I've been playing with puncture for about a week now to get a good idea of how it works and some pros and cons of it. Here are some observations I've noticed.

1.Puncture goes through almost anything that the distance stats and will continue to travel normally up until it hits a solid object futher than the distance on the mod. (I.e. It can travel through 3-4 enemies and still travel.)

2. Puncture doesn't seem to go through some terrain even though the distance is shorter than the distance on the mod states. It will go through floors, pillar corners, glass, doors. Won't travel through some terrain in grineer maps.

3. Puncture WILL go through squad mates and hit targets on the other side, but will NOT travel through Decoy and Molt.; ;

4. Puncture for shotguns is a bit iffy still, but I'll pop it here just because, for shotguns it seems to still travel through objects but only up until a certain point cause of the damage drop off, while testing with multishot, noticed that the target on the other side only took about half of the damage for some reason. but all other mechanics function the same as above.

Well that's about it on the important parts, this mechanic does have some very nice uses on certain weapons like latrons, grakata, Hind, a few sidearms and shotguns, but due to the high mod cost most will never use it unless a forma is used to fit it in certain missions.

Note: Works wonders on a shotgun if you are trying to pop Saryns Venom!

The tests were done using Sabatoge missions and the machines as a steady target or Loki and waiting for targets to get into an ideal position if you wish to test for yourselves, Sabatoge us the easy way though.
