Problems about sirens?
- Thread starter Spoony
- Start date
If someone's posting about it of course it happens.
Question is, is it a bug or not? I imagine it is.
Never been sure on this myself.
Its always at a regular timing, it doesn't sometimes happen and sometimes not. I always assumed that the second she goes to scream she will start dealing damage immediately, however her scream at that point isn't yet audible.
You could hear it alot better on the Christmas Sirens scream, since she had a dying tone.She would start to scream, then suddenly cut it off.
Not sure if it detracts from the game at all, it does tend to do a very miniscule amount of damage, indicating she is kinda building up to her scream, and hasn't quite fired off the full effect yet, but is still causing vibrations in the air.
Since its an effect that happens everytime I'd guess its intentional, but its hard to say

One time I am standing BIHIND two teamates. And I kill that siren closing in, and ONLY ME get hurt by her dead scream.
Sirens have many strange situations. Such as she can still bite you without a head.

I've always put it down to there always being a little delay between when you hear her scream and when she actually screams, so when you decapitate her when she's just about to scream, chances are she is already screaming by then. Never happens in solo for me.
I always thought it might have been part of the death scream, as that has got some amplitude to it. Or she started scream just before we killed her. As for a decaped siren biting you that sounds like a glitch, as everytime my team or I have decaped on they just drop.
Yeah, don't they have an odd head type like the patriarch? Impossible to decap until the killing blow.
Sometimes specimens I see in multi will behave oddly too. If someone headshots a bloat, and I turn the corner and see it, it looks like it still has a head + behaves normally. Usually end up trying to shoot its head off and wonder why that doesn't do anything.
I see that a lot too, but he still acts like he's decapped, walking around weirdly etc.
The scream hits 6 time and these damages are slightly delayed by the animation, and I think this notification may continues a bit with lag.
Also, there are no decapitation's check in SpawnTwoShots (function called to do the area damage).

I guess it could be a server/client issue, where even when u get the kill on your computer, the server seems to think you killed at a later point which cause the scream dmg.
Also somewhat similar to the siren post death scream is if you kill a husk who is charging up his shot, it still fires in a random direction after the husk dies(mostly backwards in my case).

the husk death shot ive noticed too but i think that ones actualy intentional, because it only happens after a certain point.
im not sure the exact charge time, but for example ill say 3 seconds, if you kill it at 1 second charge no random shot, but if you kill at 2 seconds charged it will fire a random shot.
and the siren thing is such a pain, countless times ive gone to kill one got hit by its scream decap it as its scream should be on cooldown just to get hit by a "death scream"
also often enough had it where i was near death for whatever reason and got finished off by the death scream.
Its just one of those things you have accept and plan for i guess.
