Hello fellow tenno. I have figured out almost everything about the insta-kill through mesmer skin bug. Through testing both in and out of simulacrum solo it has been shown that enemies with damage high enough can completely bypass mesmer skin and kill revenant.

Some people though through testing have shown that revenants mesmer skin in multiplayer sessions seems to be unaffected by this bug. So I looked into it and figured out the exact reason why it was working fine in multiplayer. Mesmer skins bug that takes into account revenants EHP pool also takes bleedout into its pool as well. My reasoning before testing to see if that was the case was that when you bleedout, you're technically not dead, just on the verge of death.

So I went and got a friend to help me test this out. I had him go into the bleedout state leaving me unable to enter the bleedout state. I walked up to a sniper with mesmer skin and proceeded to get 1 shot right through my ability. After that I did the test again, but this time with my friend staying alive so I can enter the bleedout state. I used mesmer skin and walked up to the sniper to get shot. But this time mesmer skin actually protected me from the shot like it was supposed to.

But to be extra sure I did similar test solo using the sentinel sacrifice mod.

test 1. No sacrifice mod: Insta-killed through mesmer skin by a sniper as expected.

test 2. With sacrifice mod: enemy shoots me with mesmer skin on and uses a charge, protecting me from the lethal damage.

If you don't believe me, feel free to test this out yourself.
