Weapons deal less damage at yellow range?

[ovoron]

Doing long range Sniper shots and a basic Cleaner gets hit for 4 damage.

 

I originally thought this was a bug in v1.xx, but now that I'm playing v2.14 stable it's still there.

 

Is this intended? If so, I haven't seen an in-game explanation for this. I think even 100% shots used to have big damage drops in v1.xx

 

Also, in 1.xx (don't know about v2.14, I barely use them) Grenade Launchers also behaved similar to this, which was even more perplexing.

yes shots in yellow range are outside of the weapons effective range, and get both an accuracy and damage penalty, this is explained in the game toturial

Gotcha. Haven't played Tutorial in a long while.

I know, but 4 damage is a little pathetic for yellow don't you think? That's more like red.

You could include armor mitigation, some cleaners have 15 armor.
