List of Mechromancer/Deathtrap Bugs and A.I Problems

Original thread on old forums: http://oldforums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=322231

Gaige:

  • Gaige’s melee is bugged vs Crystalisks, dealing tiny damage compared to other classes. This also occurs with other melee-weak enemies and may also occurs with Krieg. This can be fixed by using a bladed weapon, which will return your melee damage to normal.

]Death From Above

Potent as a Pony

Wires Don’t Talk

Interspersed Outburst

  • This skill will NEVER apply slag if Gaige is using weapon that is 100% splash damage.

Deathtrap

  • Deathtrap blocks all forms of menus.

  • Deathtrap blocks holographic sights

  • Deathtrap does not know how to target Crystalisks legs, leaving him unable to damage them. Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duqR-97vuRE

  • The same occurs with Blue and Rouge. Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGihJPta2W8

  • Deathtrap will start the Hyperius and Master Gee fights before the player has a chance to get ready. Gearbox seems to have noticed this and prevented this in Hammerlock’s Hunt as he cannot start the Voracidous fight. Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0C_HQz_f7w

  • Deathtrap will attack Enrique in the mission “Walking the Dog” and Der Monstrositat in the mission “Still Just a Borok in a Cage”, possibly failing the mission if he manages to kill them.

  • Deathtrap will attempt to kill the statues in Opportunity with his shock attack. He will often stay here until his death or his timer runs out. The same also occurs with the Cacti in Three Horns and the bodies of The Four Kings. Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbbiD7wECus Funnily enough, this also occurs with Roland and his turret.

  • If Deathtrap gets hit by one of Pyro Pete’s novas, and the DOT is then cleared by killing Pete, Deathtrap will continue to make his pain noises over and over until death, despite him not taking damage. If he has a shield, it also will not recharge. Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnYnYcXRU3Q

  • During the Bar Brawl mission, Deathtrap can fly through the door and start the mission before the player enters the room.

  • It is possible for Deathtrap to kill one of the Hyperion Assassins while they are exiting their respective doors, if this happens possible loot can get stuck behind the invisible walls that prevent the player from entering the door. If this occurs during the mission “Assassinate the Assassins”, the echo log can get stuck behind the invisible wall, requiring a restart to complete the mission.

  • Deathtrap tends not to not target enemies despite them attacking the player and being fairly close.

  • Deathtrap will randomly decide not to attack Wilhelm, he just sits there and does nothing.

  • Deathtrap will kill Jack in the mission “Talon of the God”, leaving players unable to use the optional choice for the mission.

  • Deathtrap may target burrowing enemies while they are under ground.

  • Deathtrap will only use his shock attack against some enemies which does extremely tiny damage, he will never melee or use other abilities against them, even if the enemy is a slow moving or ground target. These enemies include but are not limited to:

Buck Up

  • Deathtrap will attempt to use Buck Up on a target in FFYL, rather than help them earn a second wind. Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gummav5H2f4

  • Deathtrap will attempt to use Buck Up on the Rough Rider, despite the fact that Rough Rider has no shield capacity. Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWTcEZwKDQ0

  • Deathtrap will attempt to use Buck up if a player unequips their shield.

  • Deathtrap may attempt to use Buck Up if the player has no shield on.

  • Despite the 1.3.1 patch, Deathtrap will still sometimes restore enemies shields.

  • During the Buck Up recharge, if the player travels to another location, Buck Up will remain on indefinitely. This can stack multiple times.

Robot Rampage

  • Despite the 1.4.0 patch, the Robot Rampage sound can still loop until Deathtraps timer runs out after he kills an enemy and no other enemies are around.

The Stare

  • Deathtrap will sometimes target players with the laser, this deals no damage but wastes Deathtraps duration timer.

  • If Deathtrap’s target dies sometimes he will not lock onto another target but stay in the laser position for the remaining duration of The Stare. There is a very small chance that he will lock onto an enemy target, this target can even be one that he would not normal use his abilities against.

  • Deathtrap does not actually sweep the laser across the battlefield as stated in the description.

Shock Attack

  • Much like The Stare, Deathtrap will sometimes target the player with his shock attack, though, this seems to occur much less often

  • If Deathtrap manages to destroy a Varkid Pod with his shock attack, the Varkid will hatch instantly at full health rather than being killed.

One Two Boom

  • Deathtrap sometimes launches the orb in the completely wrong direction

Sharing is Caring

  • Like some other skills, having this unlocked adds a cosmetic part to Deathtrap. However, the part associated with this skill is solid to players and can’t be walked through. Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYxwdxkcMp4
  • When used with the Hoplite, your health is reduced to 1, even on non-overpower levels. Your health returns to normal after Deathtrap dies or despawns. This may be similar to the bug that was fixed in the 1.7.0 patch that caused the turtle shield health penalty to be added twice. Video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTuosNEf9Og
  • With this skill and the right positioning, it is possible to glitch the Gold Golem in DLC4 so that he freezes and never moves the whole fight. This may only be possible if you are not the host.

Here’s my question. Are they going to fix any of these problems in the Next gen Handsome jack collection??

Before the Handsome Collection was announced my answer would be a certain no, But they have spoken numerous times about a final patch so maybe they will release it with the Handsome Collection. It would be really stupid to rerelease the game again with so many broken things.

It would be nice that’s for sure. You think if they spend the time to upgrade the graphics they would fix some of these annoying bugs.

I hope they add more damage to the middle tree. So you wouldn’t have to rely on Ordered Chaos as much.

I’m still surprised that Deathtrap never got more element damage type moves. Like slag missiles or something.

Oh well still love the game.

I have no faith that they will actually fix anything. They most likely just did a direct copy-and-paste port with updated graphics and 4-player splitscreen.

Yeah, It’s unlikely, but its the last chance for something like this to happen

Deathtrap may derp out sometimes. Still Gaige is awesome to play with. That anarchy and Nth degree are wrecking the place up.

It may too late to report this ,but I noticed DT will try to get behind the enemy (letting the enemy stay between you and Deathtrap) ,so he won’t block your bullet, I think that’s why DT sometime derp out cuz he try to find a proper position to attack the rapid moving enemy .
You can test this by staying behind DT while he’s attacking an enemy ,he will repositions himself everytime he block the way between you and enemy .
