Anthem has a bug with which a level 1 rifle does more damage than a level 47 one
Another bad news for Anthem, this time about how their weapons work. A weapon from the beginning is more devastating than one from a much more advanced part. Bioware is already looking at how to fix the bug.
Another not very positive news for Anthem. Since its launch it has not received much encouraging news and now one of a bug about its operation has fallen on him. Something as basic as the balance of weapons in an RPG has been called into question due to a mistake.
A Tier 1 weapon is very devastating in Anthem
The explanation of this bug is not very complicated. A Level 1 Defender Rifle in Anthem does about 1400 points of damage per shot. While to the same enemy a level 47 weapon does 230 damage. It was seen by a player who recorded and showed the error in a gif that you can see by clicking here.
For all practical purposes for players, such a glitch removes any sense of progress and strategy when choosing which weapons are best for them to advance through the story. Bioware has already noticed the bug and is trying to fix this bug in a future patch to ensure a better gaming experience.
Anthem has been receiving bad news since its launch. Critics have put it as a game that causes few positive feelings. Sales are not as expected by Electronic Arts, which expected to sell six million copies in its first weeks. Following the poor reception of Mass Effect Andromeda, the future of Bioware is uncertain and some already predict that it will be the next major company to be dissolved by Electronic Arts if the Dragon Age shown at The Game Awards does not meet expectations, if not. they cancel it before its release.
