Talk:Powerjack

I had heard somewhere that this increases damage by 25% for all weapons, I know this probably isn't true, but if someone could confirm it or prove it wrong, that would be great. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Richard (talk) • contribs) 19:57, 2 October 2010

No. Myself and a clanmate tried this with Pyro's Shotgun, Fixed Weapon Spread at Point Blank. Shotgun with Fire Axe is 90 damage, Power Jack is 90 damage as well. It is indeed, just a myth. ;-) Also, remember to sign your talk page comments (with --~~~~, there is a button second from right above the editable bit to help) next time. ;-) --Leftism 13:08, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Bugs section

"There is a bug that when an enemy is killed by suicide, enviromental hazards or afterburn, it will still trigger the 75 health boost." Is this confirmed as being a bug and not a feature? A death by flare hit with the powerjack on also triggers this, and it plays to the suit of the polycount pack, relying on fast switching for the health gain in most cases. --TMP 17:42, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

The wording of the official description is rather vague in this regard. The official text is "+75 health restored on kill". I am of the opinion that this is a feature and not a bug. Play-testing as of today shows that, even though it is listed as removed under the undocumented January 7, 2011 Patch notes, the behavior still remains.Tachko 18:19, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
