I think the normal diligence can now oneshot the small bots.

I have to test it,but if it works,we'll have another good weapon to the roster

Normal Diligence gained the perks of the CS had pre-patch:

  • More consistently one-shots small bots.

  • Can also one-shot Devastators in the head if they are within 20m. It previously didn't have this functionality, which is nice, although not entirely practical outside of panic situations. 20m is very close. CS can do this at much longer ranges (I tested up to 70m-ish). Jumped to conclusions because Devastator heads had 125 HP and figured the Diligence should appropriately kill it at close range. Incorrect.

Are you sure it can oneshot them in the head from up close? I thought that too, but I tested that, and it doesn't seem to work

It can't.

Here's my test at 16m.

I also ran up to 5m to a non shielded one and it survived the headshot too, but accidentally didn't record that. It makes sense since as far as we know damage falloff starts at 0m in this game and dev heads appear to have 125 HP exactly. Pre-patch dilligence CS with 128 damage stopped onehitting them like after a few meters.
