Commissar abilities bug

Jump back to quoted post6 Jan 2022, 10:17 AMKatukov

hold the line is basically useless as you slow down the sniper


not one step back grants the ability a marginal, slight rate of fire bonus that is basically indistinguishable from the normal sniper. It also makes the sniper more vulnerable to incoming fire



a bug that really doesn't impact gameplay much, if at all

The commissar abilities:
"Not One Step Back"
"Hold the Line"

can now be used on snipers

Interesting. I think the 50% reduced cooldown of "Not One Step Back" could come in handy. Not sure how much of a DPS boost this equates to exactly, but probably something in the range of 20 - 25%... not bad at all, even though the additional 20% RA debuff can be absolutely lethal in many situations. Can't see any good reason to ever use "Hold The Line" on a sniper, though.
Anyway, considering this interaction - unintended or not - is rather of situational usefulness I'd also say there isn't really much of an issue.

a sniper with the buff and a sniper without the increased dps boost are almost identical, but the buffed sniper shoots slightly faster

and slowing down your sniper intentionally is completely pointless.

Vipper got destroyed by a soviet reserve army -> t1 starter and complains about it as a bug
