Change Log
- Buff: modified the Progression penalty from a variable 15/20/25 % to a fixed -25 % across all Tiers.
- Buff: modified the Activation timer from a fixed 30 seconds to a variable 40/50/60 seconds.
- Nerf: reduced the Activation timer from 40/50/60 seconds to 35/40/45 seconds.
- Nerf: reduced the Progression penalty from -25 % to -20 %.
- This change compensates for the Damage Generator action now applying a small Progression penalty of -2.5 % by default.
- Nerf: modified the Progression penalty to now be based on the Generator's current Progression, rather than its total possible Progression.
- This change intended to reduce the potency of the Perk on Generators with little Progression and to reward using the Perks on Generators close to completion.
- Buff: increased the Progression penalty from -20 % to -30 %.
- Reversal: reverted the Progression penalty back from -30 % to -20 %.
Calculation
- Parameters:
- Progression level: 60 Charges
- Default Progression penalty: -5 % of the total
- Pop Goes the Weasel Progression penalty: -20 % of the current
- Example:
- Default penalty:
'Total Progression' * 'Penalty converted to decimal' = 90 Charges * 0.05 = 4.5 Charges
- Remaining Current Progression after default penalty:
60 Charges - 4.5 Charges = 55.5 Charges
- Pop Goes the Weasel penalty:
'Remaining Current Progression' * 'Penalty converted to decimal' = 55.5 Charges * 0.2 = 11.1 Charges
- Remaining Current Progression after Pop Goes the Weasel penalty:
55.5 Charges - 11.1 Charges = 44.4 Charges
Trivia
- Pop Goes the Weasel calculates its penalty based on the amount of Charges a Generator has left after the default Progression penalty is applied from damaging it (see Calculation Example).
- It should be noted that each instance of using Pop Goes the Weasel on a Generator only adds +1 towards its Regression Events counter, since the previous point is only relevant for how the Perk calculates its Penalty.
