Question about Boba's payout...

i know that it says defense penetration but it could actually refer to the armor penetration.
since i dont think any character actually has defense penetration despise it being a stat.

but none the less good question

Mk 12 ArmaTek Stun Gun
Mk 12 ArmaTek Bayonet

these are the 2 gear pieces that add armor penetration but my ig88 has the "Mk 12 ArmaTek Bayonet" and his defense penetration is still 0.
thats why i think it actually goes off armor pen. instead of defense pen.

The "Defense Penetration" stat under "General" is 0 for every single character. I really don't know why it's there.

When an ability states it affects Defense penetration, it actually means armor and resistance penetration. I have tested in GW with Boba and he definitely does more damage after payout--in fact lining up nicely with the calculations I did for what you would expect.

P.S., you wouldn't be able to see any difference comparing stat pages for two different players. Not only does the bonus come into play during the match, but he has to get his payout first. Your friend has a different value because of gear/mods.

You called it Flux! Thanks guys. It's good to know. This game is some much more about allocation of resources and opportunity cost than it ever will be about actual play... hahahsa

I’m glad I found this thread. I’ve been asking in my guild discord and haven’t gotten an answer yet. But, my Boba is G12+2


And it still shows him with 0 defense penetration. His armor penetration show up as shown here.
I was just wondering what the actual conversion is for his armor penetration to defense penetration. Thanks for the help!

It's direct. If his armor penetration is 203, that means it will be 609 after payout. That's enough to get through anything except raid Sion and maybe a few other tough chars with stacked defense.

Are you sure about that? I'd invest in it if that were the case, but when you go to stats, they list defense penetration in there too. If I spend the omega and it contributes to armor penetration, I'll let you know. I just hate wasting omegas.

So here's what I did. I checked my friends Boba. He's at gear ten, mine is at gear 11. He spend the omega on the defense penetration, and as you know, I didn't. We both have zero percent defense penetration, my armor penetration is 43, his is 38. I don't think it does anything.

Makes me think they meant to give some characters, like Bob's defense penetration but never got around to it.

He's got a g12 and a g12+ piece that add penetration. I swear he hits really hard on a crit (sometimes) after I put that piece on, so I think it really helps

Ok, that was what I thought it might be. I just didn't know, since I'm not there yet. Thanks!
