Caliban's Hand's buggy interactions with the Proximity Knife
Hey yall,
First things first, I am not talking about the recent change in the 4.0.1.2 Hotfix. I can understand that Bungie doesn't want Ignitions to trigger so easily on a direct hit, but on a kill. The issue comes from the fact that Caliban's Hand seems to rewrite the coding for the Proximity Explosive Knife (PEK).
When NOT using Caliban, the explosion of the PEK will trigger mods such as melee wellmaker, Explosive wellmaker, etc as you would expect since the explosion is part of the melee. The PEK explosion will also refund your melee energy as expected if using Kock'Em Down.
However, when using Caliban's Hand, the explosion suddenly does not count as a melee at all. Here's a list of bugs:
- if you get a kill with the explosion of the knife, it will not refund melee energy when using the Knock'Em Down aspect
- if you get a kill with the explosion, it will not trigger the Ignition part of the exotic, even though the explosion is literally part of this melee ability
- if you get a kill with the explosion, it will not trigger any elemental wells
The above points all work normally when you are NOT using Caliban's Hand, so there's definitely something fishy with it.
Currently the only way to make the gameplay loop of this exotic work, is to get a kill with the direct hit of the knife. This makes it incredibly unreliable especially at generating wells for ability uptime.
I truly hope this gets looked at by Bungie because this is my favourite exotic in a long time, throwing nuke knives around is super fun.
