Description

Bio-cannon shoots 3 round bursts of biters, but tooltip describes it as "snap shot X2"

What Happened

Biters biters biters.

Xenonauts report getting hit by 3 round bursts of biters from mantids with bio cannons

But, when inspecting a bio-cannon dropped on the ground, the tooltip says "snap shot 2x" etc. Description out of date?

I'm pretty sure the weapon does only fire 2-shot bursts, and the game data seems to agree with that. If you see another example of your soldiers taking three hits from it, please attach a save and we'll take a look.

Apologies, I was mistaken & confidently wrong.

 

When I've encountered Mantids with Bio-Cannons in V7.4.0, I've been counting the rounds per burst and I agree they are always two rounds per burst.

Thank you for adding some more Bio-Cannon Mantids into the later missions.
