I made a post a few days ago about Bloodrunner and Rampage possibly being bugged, or maybe stealth nerfed, when used together. A lot of people have noticed that only one of the multi-kill damage buffs can proc and stay active on-screen at a time. What’s interesting is this issue seemed to start not long after they added the visual buff indicators.

Originally, only Bloodrunner had a buff icon in the bottom-right corner. Later they added one for Rampage too, and ever since then it feels like only one of the buffs is actually activating, both visually and in gameplay. Before this change, if you combined both skills, you’d see Bloodrunner III active on-screen, but Rampage was still clearly working in the background. You could tell because my explosive ION shots would jump from around 75k to 95k damage when both buffs were stacked together. Ever since the last major update, I think S3R, that interaction doesn’t seem to work anymore for weapon damage. The only time I’ve seen both buffs actually proc together again is when using operators with Celebration III or Frost Cloud III. Sometimes those exotic effects would start chaining to enemies way outside their intended range (which is probably another bug entirely), and during those moments Rampage would suddenly activate visually again.

So from what I’ve seen, the two buffs still can work together, but only when some other bugged damage interaction is happening at the same time.

It seems as of right now, the sought after skill combination of Warbands “Bloodburner” and Eagle Eyes “Rampage” are no longer stacking. I’m not sure if this interaction was intentionally shadow nerfed or if it’s currently bugged.

“Remember, bleeding out and respawning is always faster than redeploying.” — Sergeant Gaz, probably .

Jokes aside, I’ve been using this method for months now whenever I’m running with a full squad or friends. It basically lets you redeploy every ~30 seconds with maximum wingsuit height, speed, and glide time. Since I started doing this, my actual “boots on the ground” time during matches has improved exponentially! Less time traveling the map means more time grinding camos, XP, and challenges.

WARNING: If you’re running with fewer than 3 players, I’ve had an instance where I bled out right as my teammates all exfilled. This instantly gave me the elimination screen, nearly wiping my whole operator. So before using this trick, make sure you know where your teammates are and what they’re doing.

I’m seeing horror stories of how trash this update is. Looks like I might be zombies only for a bit, does anyone have anything good to report for season 3 reloaded? 😂
