Okay, this is simple.

We both join a T3 random lockdown game. If we're not on different teams, we play normally until we are on different teams.

When we're on different teams, you put on your striker shield, come to me asap and stand outside my mist shields. Or we can go somewhere safe.

I load you up with biohazard charges. As many as I can fit in 15 seconds.

You have 5 seconds to stand next to as many teammates as possible. Ideally 5 others trying to take a point.

I blow you up. Either as a recon all sneaky sneaky, or as a striker, depending if I can come from the south or not.

They all die, hopefully. Because otherwise I'd be trying to fight with a biohazard.

Oh, and you died too. But hopefully you're laughing.

----
We play again and watch the rage. If you're on my team, you can get your biohazard (with gun damage, and ctr if possible) and we can recruit someone else from the other team to do the above. We can both load as many charges onto that person.

----

So you're in?

-----
OOO may have blocked damage from being done to others from the charges, at least from tests done at the time of this post ><
this means this most likely won't work

----
Edit 1: Currently, due to the bug from the June 6th patch, there is a lack of invincibility frames, so this biohazard charge trick should work.
Edit 2: Just did a few tests with this no invulnerability bug, and the charges do very little damage. So it's not practical in any sense. Tear.
I don't know why the biohazard charge is nerfed. Perhaps the devs can look into it.

amazing

I've been trying to make Biohazard work in Lockdown.
I've tried randomly shooting charges and regular shots with little success.
I've tried Vortex-Hazard with mild success.

But this.
This can only be huge success.

DO IT

I did this to someone, but we didn't plan it :o
I got my Biohazard out, decided to try the charge (I have CTR Max, so it was quick) and got 2 on this guy. I ran away as a striker, while they were a recon. They quickly went to a point with some teammates. I ran in and got them. It's not too hard to do, and it's very fun.

NUUUUUUUuuuuu

Update: I just tried doing it.

People said that:
a) the damage was tiny. Too small to be noticable. I detonated someone who had like, 8 charges and they didn't die (recon). I had max damage too ><
b) it didn't damage others, just gave them status. --> this is important because this means we can't KILL YOUR TEAMMATES ='(

More testing will need to be done. If others said it has been done, then maybe I the person needed to be closer to other players.
But I'm not sure this can be done =(

Perhaps you will have better luck than me.

Let us hope it can be done.

Shucks. Maybe we should try 20 charges.

Sypsy, I think the problem is

Sypsy, I think the problem is with the hitstun immunity in lockdown that prevents multiple hits from landing. Likely, each charge is treated as its own individual hit, so no matter how many charges there are, only one will ever count in lockdown.

Too bad, because this would have been hilarious.

Self bump! Currently, due to

Self bump!

Currently, due to the bug from the June 6th patch, there is a lack of invincibility frames, so this biohazard charge trick should work.

If I could find time to play some SK before they patch the bug, I should try this out.

But I would love to hear about people doing this.

Bonus points if you can stand next to and kill the following when you are blown up:
- multiple teammates blitz needling
- hidden recons
- your whole team

Tried this pre-buff patch.

Did this before the guns got buffed, so results may very.

I didn't bother using any damage modules, and I went in Nameless to troll around with the ASI, and had 2 CTR Trinkets on (I'm too lazy to roll a CTR UV on it.). I did all of this unplanned and alone.

I sniped for a while, until I had a base of people mobbed by the charges. I shot one, killed 3/5 people there. After doing this over and over again (lrn2dodgemyshots.jpg), I ends up getting a whopping 13.5k with Biohazard charges alone. Remember, Pre-Patch, no damage boosts. With all that damage, me, or any other knight could now get about 20k if the spamming worked.

Honestly, I'd say it works well, but I think it ruins the fun of you plan it and fill someone up already.

I totally forgot about this. I will gladly donate my body for science and lulz.

In T2? Yes!

If anyone wants to load me up with charges in T2, I'd gladly offer!

Thanks Thrillhaus for testing

Thanks Thrillhaus for testing with me.

0 charges: 4.5 total
1 charge: 5 total
2 charges: 5.5 total
A lot of them: 8 total

Conclusion:
Biohazard shot w/ max damage: 4.5
Charge: 0.5

So in essense, this doesn't work. Boooo!
