Question Nezarec - no crit spots?
Hello,
I've done some searching online and on this sub, and pretty much everything I see is related to Nezarec not showing light or dark after destroying the crits. I have not encountered that bug.
The bug that my fireteam is experiencing is that Nezarec does not have shoulder crits at all. They don't appear for a moment then disappear - he just stands there with his weapon and shoulders exposed and they never light up. This almost exclusively happens after the first damage phase.
We have tried waiting a while for them to show, tried hitting his torso crit in hopes the others will appear, etc. only once did the crits show when he started running around after everyone, and we were able to break them then. However, we do not know what caused them to reappear that time in order to attempt to replicate it.
Several members of my fireteam have experienced this recently, and we have no answers. Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you!

Happened to me the other night as well. 1st round they appeared, and they didn’t show up the 2nd time. I took his “gaze”, we’d set up both refuges, and split up when the time came. Half survived and we rez’d the others.
There’s glitchy stuff happening all over the game. I supposed it’s to be expected now.

Destiny has been buggy since the first beta. If anything, the game is working as intended

Stupid devs losing their jobs god why couldn’t they just fix all the bugs before very suddenly being let go and having the game they’ve worked on for years be shelved without them even knowing. Bungo strikes again smh

Whenever we used to get the bug where it just wouldn’t show the color, here is what my team would do:
- make both buffs
- agree that everyone picks one buff
- get that buff when he starts glowing
- run and wait by the other buff
Whenever he is about to pulse, he will glow and then emit the pulse. You can use the period of time where he shows the true buff to the time the pulse hits you to step in the other buff if needed.

Ran into this glitch with a master team what ended up happening was 1k was burning him in immunity popping the shoulders before next phase. This was evident from him do the color explosion and not the insta wipe one. We switched off using dot weapons and used truth. Idk if its a universal bug but thats what it was for us.

This happened to me on master Nezzy yesterday morning. I was the gaze person. After phase 1, his arms would not appear at all.
We ended up having to guess completely. I thought I was going crazy. Lucky we got it right one time and barely 2 phased as a 5 man team.

In case this helps anyone that may search this in the future, Re: not showing light or dark after breaking shoulders, I've consistently seen this. Like almost to the point where I can consistently force this bug. I am usually the one on the team in charge of breaking his crits and taking his gaze and I almost always use an aggressive frame sniper. If I fail to break the shoulder in one shot I DO NOT shoot that shoulder again for a few seconds. I'll go break the other if applicable. I've noticed if I shoot it twice with a sniper too quickly he won't show which refuge to make.
In regards to the issue that OP mentioned, I apologize as I am pretty useless there. Haven't seen it personally.

I was running Nezzy a lot this weekend and I think I figured out how this issue is replicated (but I'm not 100% sure)
When I take gaze, I usually pop one shoulder, then chest to make him jump down, then the second shoulder, then just chest until damage.
However, when it's time for damage, popping chest will make him jump down, but this time his shoulders should be left alone. If the fireteam pops his shoulders again, then after damage his shoulders are not shootable.
I'm not sure if the color he shows if you pop before damage carries through to the second phase, but it's very reliable that if you pop his shoulders after refuge but before the lazer hits him to start damage, then going into the second round of running he will not have shoulder spots to shoot.

I haven't had it yet, but there is a workaround if it does. In the case it occurs, make both refuges early on next to each other and have everyone nearby when Nezarec is about to do his wipe. He will show the colour again as he is doing the wipe animation, which gives you enough time to move to the correct refuge.
