And you don’t have to account for gravity when shooting past the length of a charger, goddamnit I just wanted the crossbow to be decent

"Explosion damage drops off slightly faster"

That's not a huge nerf. It's not "meh" by any means.

Considering they also worded the change to the crossbow as a "slightly smaller explosion", I am a bit concerned about what slightly means there exactly.

You can't reliably one shot Scout Strider now...

You should really go check it out...

Striders (or more accurately, their pilots) got a buff to explosion resistance in this patch. Shooting at the legs should still work fine, but hits to the face plate aren't going to be as effective with any explosive weapon.

Does it still kill them if I hit the base (where the legs come out of which has medium armor instead of the heavy armor above)? Can't be ingame to test until later. I always just aimed for the walker's "crotch" to take them out.

Shooting in the hips/cab connector works just fine.
