[4.2.0 experimental - tactical] Fusion weapons reaction fire damage

[Warie_W00kie]

I've noticed on several encounters where the reaction fire damage from Fusion weapons were very low (about 30% of expected damage).  Not sure if it's just bad RNG but here is one where I hit the Secton with fusion rifle and fusion pistol (interrogation & autopsy II researched).

Thanks for the bug report! Tested this save on my end and it might've been just bad RNG? I was able to get your shielded soldier (SR9) to shoot in overwatch and he dealt 71 damage with his fusion pistol (on top of the 29 armour the secton had). The low shot damage could've also been made worse by the armour as fusion weapons only penetrate up to 15 armour.

If this keeps on happening though, do let us know as it might be a problem with the RNG itself, thanks!

Will do, thanks for verifying!

Yeah, it's likely to be the damage roll on the weapons - the randomisation happens before the armour calculation, so if you roll 50% damage then an armoured enemy will probably take relatively little damage. Whereas if you roll 200% damage then you'll just vaporise them no matter how much armour they might have.
