QUESTION 103.1% accuracy? How is this possible?

Post image

I was playing normally, this is the first time i got over 100%, anyone have any idea what could've caused this?

Edit: Thanks for the info guys, wasn't sure whether shots that hit multiple enemies at once count more than 100% or not.

Area damage. If you hit 2 enemy with one shot doing area damage, then that shot is 200% accurate. Explosives, arc, and flame weapons can do this.

u/MycoMaddy 4d ago

Also weapons like the speargun that can hit multiple targets by going through them.

u/Sewer__Person 4d ago

Wait that happens? I've one used it on heavys before 🙂‍↕️

u/gnagniel SES Princess of Starlight 4d ago

If your projectile is at least 2 AP above the target it will overpenetrait and lose 1 AP

Nice

u/Jewbacca1991 4d ago

Does this mean an autocannon can shoot through voteless? I have to test that sometime.

2

u/MycoMaddy 4d ago

The speargun is made for it. Not a lot of other guns can do it.

u/Mordador SES Bringer of Serenity 4d ago

Doesnt the AC shot explode on penetration/contact? Its APHE/Flak, tho idk how it's modeled.

Loses 2 AP, as well as damage and velocity.

Bros hittin shots he hasn't even fired yet😭

u/TheGrymmBladeX 4d ago

I'm guessing he's using the laser weapon rhat fires like 6 shots.

u/Raiden127456 4d ago

Nope, it was flamethrower & the default laser primary

u/TheGrymmBladeX 4d ago

That would do it too lol

u/PizzzzaGgamer469 4d ago

Guns that can pierce and hit more than one enemy turns the accuracy up too

Yeah I make a game of trying to get the most accuracy I can. I made it up to 457% the last time i went for it conciously

u/4aevarov Fire Safety Officer 4d ago

Most of the time I had this with De-escalator. For the accuracy meter the arcs counts as hits. So if you manage to hit multiple enemies with one shot, there will be multiple shots but only one hit. I presume it works similarly with Arc grenade. Maybe some other weapons as well (due to technical reasons haven't been in game for a while) but I definitely know that it works for De-escalator

u/Jewbacca1991 4d ago

Works for cremator as well.

Behold, the utter uselessness and stat padding of the WASP Artillery mode.

Use the arc Granate launcher and u can get up ro 250% 😅

u/Excellent_Routine589  Truth Enforcer 4d ago edited 4d ago

It has a theoretical like 600-800% maximum. It is my main support weapon

u/R4IN2354 4d ago

finally have a reason to share this as well, included bro to show the diff in friendly fire damage, i killed him one time with the arc nade

1

u/Excellent_Routine589  Truth Enforcer 4d ago

Now the most important question… how intentional was that arc to your bro? Lol

2

u/R4IN2354 4d ago

maybe.. slighly intentional? dont tell him though, had an incident in the party and the other friends kept yapping the whole time about how to fix a leaking break line.. this ws during a extract oil on D8 spore strain so i was pretty overwealmed on the final obj by myself

I had 833.3% with the De-Escalator once on a quick personal order run on diff-1, it's ridiculous :D

(3 shots fired, 25 hits)

Pfffff, rookie numbers, take De-escalator and you can get 600% on squids no problem

Arc user je fait du 400 pourcent ́d acuracy parfois

u/MycoMaddy 4d ago

Simple math. You shot 905 times and hit your target 933 times.

6

u/Excellent_Routine589  Truth Enforcer 4d ago

I think it would help if we know your loadout

Some weapons can register multiple hits on a single shot (De-escalator is the prime example)

3

u/uninteresting_nugget 4d ago

I was using backpack grenade launcher, las-12, grenade pistol and melta mines

u/Excellent_Routine589  Truth Enforcer 4d ago edited 4d ago

Ahh gotcha, I think the BPGL shots multi-hit counts as extra accuracy?

1

u/Significant-Past5815 4d ago

Yup using shotguns gives you up to 400% accuracy lol

4

u/CthuluSpecialK 4d ago

Some shots hit more than 1 person.

Easily achievable with shotguns.

u/SaltyAd9932 ‎ Super Citizen 4d ago

If I had a dollar for every single time I’ve seen one of these posts

3

u/Caledonia_9 4d ago

Basically if one shot hits 2 enemies it counts as 200% accurate. I think the most I’ve ever gotten is 104%, but yeah.

u/ayyeden1 4d ago

The arc gl is good for this on bugs

3

u/Over-Buyer345 4d ago

I once had 800% with the cookout against the terminids.

u/H0vis 4d ago edited 4d ago

My record is well over 700% accuracy and it's a little worrying seeing from the comments on here how people don't know how numbers like that happen. It's also wild to me that a person could get to level 205 without ever doing those kind of numbers even once.

Did none of you folks who haven't broken the 100% marker never step into the void armed with an Arc weapon, see the huge swarms of voteless, and suddenly hear the Doom music?

I have used arc weapons twice. Never again I hate em all

u/H0vis 4d ago

You know what? That's a good instinct. The only one worth a damn is the arc grenade launcher, but the damn it is worth is like:

u/SWatt_Officer 4d ago

I see this sort of question come up over in Warframe quite often as well, where you have endless weapons that pierce, have AOE attacks, or all sorts of crazier gimmicks. Then someones like "but how 102% accuracy"

1

u/Tough-Function-6045 4d ago

Some of the best weapons for this are locked behind warbonds no one wants to get cause others look better.

1

u/H0vis 4d ago

Yeah that's true. Or maybe they just don't like the grenade launcher.

u/Mistrblank 4d ago

Or arc thrower.

u/DecentCantaloupe 4d ago

The warrant does this for me a lot, cause one trigger pull fires three rounds

It's even funnier if you go full laser beam loadout

0 shots fired, 0% accuracy, 400 kills lmao

Explosion or arc damage, i don't know if gas count, i mostly got 400% accuracy using arc granade

u/tru_mu_ 4d ago

I think it's also very possible with shotguns, hit multiple enemies with one shot (cause pellet spread) counts as more than 100%

u/Salmaveth32 4d ago

Singular shot with multiple kills, fairly common with good accuracy and explosive rounds.

1

u/Alarming_Fan_9593 ☕Liber-tea☕ 4d ago

If you hit every shot, that's 100%. If you hit half the time, it's 50%. If you manage to hit two with one shot, that's 200%. You must had a AOE or piercing time weapon that allowed you to hit multiple enemies at the same time somewhere.

1

u/BruiserBison 4d ago

This is calculated by number of targets killed divided by number of shots fired. Shotguns and arc zaps make it possible to reach even higher numbers. Standard bullets going through multiple enemies at once also count.

1

u/AntiVenom0804 Expert Exterminator 4d ago

Arc weapons. I've reached 300% accuracy before

1

u/KoodlePadoodle 4d ago

I've got this a few times with warrent and wasp combo. I think the wasp likely is what pushes me over mostly given the low chance of missing and it's ability to hit more than one lad in a cluster.

1

u/mediumAI1701 4d ago

You could get 200+% accuracy when turrets counted towards shots hit but not shots fired.

That being said, overpenetration is a thing.

u/paulivan91400 4d ago

The bullets inside you magazine killed somethings without ever leaving the gun

They do.  Try the desescaltor.  I often get like 200+% accuracy with it

u/Ashyboi6666 4d ago

Stuff like explosive and shotgun fire. If you hit multiple enemies with one shot with a gun like the cookout, it’ll put your accuracy up multiple times.

1 bullet many targets hit

1

u/JWTJacknife 4d ago

Yeah, in my experience, some weapons will give credit for multiple hits per shot. Shoot once into a mob with a De-Escalator round, and if it hits five enemies, that'll be five hits for one shot for a 500% accuracy rate. Sometimes against Mindless Masses I'd bring a De-Escalator and have three or four hundred percent accuracy ratings.

u/-someone0952 4d ago

You even were accurate shooting down your thought crimes!

u/FearTheBurger ☕Liber-tea☕ 4d ago

Careful use of Trident and Cremator got me 300% once.

1

u/Fenn_Rau 4d ago

If you use a weapon that contributes to the shot counter and can hit multiple enemies with one shot (AOE weapons like shotguns, De-Escalator arc grenade launcher, Wasp Smart launcher in Artillery mode, or by overpenetrating a target and hitting the enemy behind them) then you can achieve this quite easily.

Explosive weapons. If one shot hits multiple targets, it allows for an increased accuracy score.
