I just obtained The Predatory Blade as a drop from a boss in the Unnamed City and was shocked by the damage stated on the weapon. Excitedly, I give The Predatory Blade to my Thrall to use with a shield. In combat, my Thrall would draw their weapons then stand there and stare at their opponent. After combat, I take The Predatory Blade back and attempt to use it on opponents single handed and with a Shield in my offhand. Either way I deal no damage yet the Crippling effect is still applied to opponents and my durability drops on the weapon. I later got back to base, repaired The Predatory Blade, and applied an Advanced Weapon Damage kit in hopes that this modification would remedy this issue. However, upon testing afterward, I was only doing the 6 damage that the mod provided then multiplied by my strength.
TLDR: The Predatory Blade deals no damage on its own. First time reporting.
Edit: The light attacks are now dealing damage. Heavy attacks are still not doing damage. 19/03/05
Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:
Acquire The Predatory Blade.
Use The Predatory Blade on opponents.
Look stupid and possibly die/wish you were dead when opponents laugh at your feeble attempts at attacking them when you deal no damage.
Hope opponents die by lack of air from laughing too much.
Can confirm this on server 1950 as well.
Scored the blade in the unnamed city and thought Iâd go get some revenge on captain after my last attempt to capture her ended poorly.
I did zero damage and now owe her 2 deaths.
True, but we try our best to be up to date even after the twentiest hotfix in the last couple of days. The last entry was from the 05.03.2019 with 1 DMG.
And now you are right, it shows 97 ingame. So we will update the wiki via datamining soon.
The in-game description is only âAn ancient weapon found in the Unnamed City.â
That aside, why was it not dealing damage with Light or Heavy attacks until yesterday when it started doing damage with Light attack suddenly? There must be some tweaking going on with it or just still a bug.
I havenât seen an official post on this matter one way or another so I am uncertain this weapon is indeed working as intended. One cannot simply base an assumption of how a weapon works based on a data mined weapon description alone.
Also, I just read what SirBowen wrote about the Info Button. Every other special weapon and armor aside from the ones in The Unnamed City give a brief description about them without using the Info Button. Why are these weapons different? I thought the âAn ancient weapon found in the Unnamed City.â was a placeholder until lore was filled in for the weapon.
I just pressed Info on all these items I have and now know where people were getting these little quotes and stories for weapons on the Wiki. Been playing this game for close to 1000h total and just tried it. Info on Notes, sure. Never thought of it for weapons, lol
Anyway, thanks again, everyone. Learned something new and case solved on The Predatory Blade.
