Possible chainsaw bug?

Post by Jovani » Sun Feb 17, 2019 2:16 am

Hello, I have been doing some tests and I found maybe a possible chainsaw bug.
When I used shock baton and then grab with a bot using chainsaw, he could hit me.

The same thing happens when I used dive on him.

If this is a bug, I hope you fix it. Greetings

This is the case with every weapon. After 4 chainsaw hits you are able to retaliate with one melee move. This is also why I find the chainsaw ineffective against bots if used mindlessly since it doesn't really feel like a power weapon you can use without merit - their inhuman reaction speed allows them to grab me after that third hit or retaliate with a punch combo, putting me at a loss.

The chainsaw isn't supposed to stunlock till death, you do get a brief period of time in which you are able to move or use your melee moves. This is why people bob and weave (and even block) when they use it, so you won't be able to respond in that brief moment of invincibility. I think that is intended behavior.

Fixed after v.1.1.1. Thanks for the detailed report.
Turns out it's an old bug. Being grabbed while you're stunned will bypass certain disabled checks once the stun wears off even if you're grabbed or in other disabled states. This makes you able to do all kinds of stuff including using the chainsaw while grabbed (which the bots obviously take advantage of).
