Sure, I know how item descriptions work, but somehow I missed the dampen feature of shock coil, in game experience.

 

{testing}

 

Hmmm, I can't hear the difference by shoe-lacing shockcoil at all.

If there is dampening happening I can't hear it inside the mech.

Can someone else confirm it is lowering the volume of walking?

 

I used shock coils on Origin and Uptown, but since I don't ambush/jump/fall down anymore, I figured I'll take failsafe instead

since I will hug some guys with mines.

 

Well I changed machine, gear and ISP, so yes performance is much better since then.

And yes, I still sport AC on one of my pred bulids, it's more effective to me in frontal attacks.

I can be much more precise by laying mines from that angle and also dodge heats and whatnots.

 

cheers

Me and Mags've tested it, Shock Coil doesn't affect step volume in a noticeable amount if at all.

capability to throw item-bukkakes at people.

 

It's all I retained from all that, and it's all that matters.

I think shock coil should dampen footstep noise - it would work well, and fit in with the lore of the item. It might also be a useful item for infiltrators and sneaky raiders.

It'd be a good item for almost any mech.

One of the most important ways to detect an opponent without LOS is sound, primarily being footsteps.

 

That said I'd equip it on alot of mechs if it were to recieve that buff.

Bump, added in a .ini edit which decreases lag and increases visibility when (de)activating Stalker Mode:

 

 

Replace this in HawkenGame.ini: bAllowDeguassEffect=true

With this: bAllowDeguassEffect=false
