So today, when it was finally fixed, I resumed my usual routine of random matchmaking on missions set to challenging. Went through the first two and indeed my team was getting wiped left and right. Then I joined a team of four to start another mission and sure enough guys were dropping like flies again, then two guys left and it was just me and one other guy. We finished that room somehow, and then all of a sudden my shots started to hit, enemies went down like they used to, and the two of us finished the mission without going down once.
For certain I was doing way more damage to enemies that I had previously even in that very same mission when we dropped from 4 to 2 players. Right after that I went to yet another 4 man mission and sure enough we started dropping again left and right. I am running nearly all god rolled pieces, 900k armor and a ton of reds. Full weapon damage as primary on 5 of 6 pieces and as much crit as I can get so I really don’t think my load out is the problem. That was confirmed by accidentally dropping from. 4 man to a two man run. For curious sakes I then tried to do solo on challenging and while it was hard it was for sure doable.
So question now is there a damage scale issue going on here?
