Landing Crits Help

(1/4) > >>

DirkDigger:
Hi, Im quite new to this game, I'm currently working on an SG crippler, Im at lvl 16 atm, 171% Sg, and 35% crits.

I was trying to kill some Marauders earlier and attempting to land crit shots in eyes with a .44 Magnum revolver.
A lot of times it seemed I would land my critical hits but "for no damage"???
This happened at least 4 times in a row. I dont understand. Sometimes I land hits going as high as 125 points, sometimes nothing. Is there a reason for this or could someone point me to a guide about different types of guns and what role they play?

Thanks.

RavenousRat:
Finesse gives +30% DR to a target.
.44 JHP has 50% DR to target.
So your target has 80% DR.

Edit:
With finesse use 14mm/.223 pistol

Crazy:
.44 JHP ammo does *3 dmg, but +50% damage res, associated with finesse (+30% damage res) and natural DR of target, you can easily go at 100%... Which mean no damage. Unless bypass critical, which ignore DR of target. And then, the *3 damage multiplier, with the crit damage multiplier can do really nasty shots.

Like RavenousRat said, use weapon with ammo giving big malus to DR, like 14mm or .223.

Ganado:
Can a dev give the chance to get a bypass critical* to eyes in this situation:

*  Shooter has 10 Luck, Better Criticals, 210 SG skill, and aims at eyes with .44 magnum (if weapon matters, I don't think it does)
*  Victim has 6 Luck, 6 Endurance, 7 Agility (if that matters), no beneficial perks, and is wearing Combat Leather Jacket (if that matters) ?
*Note: I mean chance to get a bypass, assuming they already got a critical hit. Thanks! :)

Also: I thought it was said somewhere that maximum DR is 85%. Is this not the case when concerning NPCs/Finesse? Or was the 85% just referring to how high it could possibly get with old drugs system?

It was 90%, and yes referring to old drug system (though it would like in same way if you were wearing an armor supposed to give 100% DR if I understood it well, max res you can have for yourself will always be 90%, with combination of armor, perks and drugs but, if the max protection you can get for yourself is 90%, it can go at 100% with ammo/finesse modifiers)
