Patch History

This talent was non-functional from launch (April 14, 2026) until it was fixed in Hotfix 0.10.0.2.54 on April 17, 2026. Any guide claiming to have "tested" Overpenetration before April 17 was testing broken code. Post-patch behavior: the first target takes full damage, and the bullet continues to any target behind it with reduced damage.

Community Value

Situational. At rank 3 (20% reduced) the penetration barely costs anything; at rank 1 (50% reduced) second-target damage is effectively half. Trap for pure single-target boss rotations. Strong in pirate-camp horde clears or tight corridors where enemies line up. Assessment still settling post-patch; whether penetration chains through 3+ enemies remains uncertain.
