Elemental Reaction Causing Unintended Damage and Ricochet Issues

PhysicsPhysicsGlitchObjectInteractions

Status:	Duplicate
Added by:	.keldon on June 2, '26
Reported for:	RC:EA:00.07.11 Auto

Steps to Reproduce

Have Hot Feet perk, Poison Aura perk, Spore Release perk, and an auto cannon with poison damage and ricochet chance equipped.
Fire at enemies.
Observe that the cloud(s) generated are counting as 'enemies'.
Notice that the cloud(s) are causing the weapon to ricochet directly into your own face.
Experience being blinded by the cloud(s).
Notice that the cloud(s) are causing a lot of damage to enemies that didn't exist.

Explanation

Something was causing me to damage targets that didn't exist, I think it was a reaction between poison aura and hot feet and spore release, which were causing an elemental reaction, and my auto cannon had ricochet chance, which was causing the shots to bounce at the fake target (often directly at my feet, blinding me with point blank explosion graphics). It showed my post-run damage as almost 2 million damage
