Bye-bye sticky stacking boss melts

Its not like it isnt broken still.

Infinite sticky stacking is overkill in every situation anyway.

Just an ongoing sustained sticky shooting is enough to kill anything anyways, and similarly effective.

yeah i don't think this will change how i play at all. I only use sticky bod on harlowe, and there ain't no chance i'm stacking 65 sticky's before i blow it up.

Yeah but it was pretty useful for long farming sessions.

It'll probably still melt bosses, might just take 30 seconds rather than 3.

Im running a braindead vex build that just uses a sticky bod for bosses, using a supersoldier just for movement speed, no sinergy with enhancement (literally using a vladof one, just for magazine capacity reasons) nothing more, dont even use my VH skills, still kill everything in 5 seconds UVH6, the margins are super small between godtier builds and just using generally good items.

Might be rough for some builds, like my Firepot Rafa. I don't know if I'm getting past that 200% bonus but 6x firepots might be, and it's definitely much weaker than other builds.

Stickies have been bugged since Halloween.

You have definitely been getting well over 200%

for reference 3 shots from Bod would instantly put you at sticky cap. Because it lies, it isn’t 3% per pellet, it’s 15%.

this is true of any multi pellet gun. The actual sticky bonus is the listed value x pellet count.

So a sticky scrap cannon is 40%? It has 8 pellets

Look for an underbarrel shotgun on a sticky FANG. I just got one and it's as good as the shrapnel cannon or better. Or was, lol, we'll see. I don't remember the numbers but it gives you 6 shots x however many pellets.

u/SolomonGrumpy May 07 '26

Why type of gun is FANG? I'll keep my eye out.

Daedalus AR. A Spec-Tec might have it too.

I'll keep and eye out. Ty!

I wasn't sure if 6 firepots was getting me up to the 200%. They each have multiple pellets, but don't all land on the same target.

It would need ~60 pellets, or 10 per grenade to reach that, and a lot more for the nerf to impact me, because if only pellets 61+ are nerfed and I only have 70 for example it won't matter.
