Talk:Pilfering Swarm/@comment-7840205-20180102035540

Can we really be certain that enemies don't have to be killed by the tentacles themselves, but can instead be killed while affected by the tentacles to drop extra loot?

Whenever I would use Tentacle Swarm and kill a Power Carrier unit with it, that unit would drop an additional power cell every single time, but never when it was killed with a weapon whilst being flung around on the tentacle.

I know that 17.0.4's update notes included a note about a new functionality where enemies would drop extra loot if killed whilst held by a tentacle, but perhaps it was ninja-nerfed at some later point in time?
