I’m not sure if this is a bug or the way it’s designed to work, but I figured I’d ask anyway.
There are weapon sigils in the game that cause you to gain stacks of buffs as you meet certain conditions. The one I’m currently using on my engineer gives me stacks of precision every time I kill an enemy, up to 25.
These stacks are supposed to stay until you are downed, however when entering any form of water, (And consequently, automatically switching my weapon to an aquatic one), it immediately removes the stacks. Now… I am assuming this is because the aquatic weapon does not have the same sigil and that swapping weapons causes the stacks I have attained to rely on having that sigil equipped. It is slightly frustrating to be in a swamp area and accidentally dodge or slip into an area of slightly deep water and suddenly lose all my stacks due to a half-second weapon swap occurring when I enter and exit the water.
I’ve assumed this is due to the fact that building up stacks of a specific sigil on a weapon and then swapping to another might be considered overpowered, but at the same time it seems rather limiting to those who use weapon switching often as part of their playstyle. Being an engineer, I don’t switch weapons and apparently kits do not effect the stacks, but whenever I enter water it causes major issues with the build.
Is this supposed to happen?
