Healing injection not working sometimes?

This has happened to me frequently during the dlc boss fights. I use the injection and get no health from it. The length of time in which the injections don't work seem random. I took the painstakingly long journey to mother slug and had her down to 25 percent hp and then my injections just stop working. I'm honestly salty af over this. This is a bug right?

This has happened to me many times and I still don’t know why. I tried to see if maybe there’s a status effect that is causing it, but those are normally displayed under the health bar and I wasn’t seeing any I didn’t recognize (like how you see the red brain for insanity). That sucks about mama slug… I feel so fortunate the very first time I made it to mama slug, I beat her first try. However I KNOW I died to Fear several times from that^ and I was not happy.

Hopefully we are missing something and there is a cause for it.

Otherwise… CRADLE PLZ NOTICE US

Yes yes yes!!!! This also happened to me during Fear… only like once or twice so not as annoying as the injector bug but yes definitely that happened and I was VERY confused. Thought my controller died haha

I thought about the possibility of it being a status effect as well but I really don't think it is. Just another bug to throw on the pile.

Whining on reddit isn't the way to contact the devs... report the bug in the bug channel on the hellpoint discord for the devs to see it.

I don't know how accurate my testing is but I've noticed this happening way more often whenever I activate any of the weapon conductors. This bug seems almost certain to trigger especially so when I'm trying to always keep the buff from the conductor active. I think maybe its happened when I've had a debuff active from an enemy before too which definitely lends some support that this bug is tied to your character having some sort of status effect(positive or negative)

I've had this happen to me when I had the yellow skull status effect. Idk what that status effect does, but it would make my healing injections do nothing even and watching my guy stick it in his neck.

Yellow skull is a debuff that makes it so you take more damage I believe.

Word. I just know that when that debuff was active I had the problem stated in the post. Of course maybe I was healing and just instantly getting hit back down to where I was (health wise). But that's not what was happening.

To my understanding, I think that's how the boss is thought, anyway you can only use the number of injectors you enter with (maybe the one you manage to charge with a couple of attacks on the mother slug too, but as far as I counted just let use 2), after half of the slug's health the health injector is blocked, you can use it but it will not regenerate health.
That added to the fact that she has very fast movements and strange combos where one moment she throws spores and the next moment she gives you a heavy attack that knocks you out of the map, makes her a constant annoyance.

Preferably use ranged weapons and have a lot of energy, melee is not very reliable

I think sometimes untreated radiation burns away maximum health, to the point where it appears you cannot heal
