Excuse me.. It still hurts though, and 4 'Hitscans' (what are those) is a kill.

The other two (or one or three) teammates will link the Primary. Seeing as you get about 9 damage per cell on the link alt, and for every person linking that adds an exponent, you got yourself 9 to the third power per cell. That comes out to 729 damage per cell. You use a cell per second, about, so before they know what hits 'em they'll be dead. Correct my math NOW if I'm wrong, but even if I'm off just a little, or like by 500, it's still gonna hurt. And kill in a second or two.
Doesn't work that way.

Two people linking directly to a primary linker using secondary will do something like 36 dmg per hitscan tick. (9x1.5 + 9x1.5 + 9)

Three in a line will do something like 50 dmg per hitscan tick (9x1.5 + 13x1.5 + 18).

At no point does linking ever become exponential (it's multiplicative).
I thought you were talking about Tam, not match lesson. Lol j/k :drunken:

Insightful... It even haves something about the shock rifle at the bottom.
