Thunderhead Autocannon Causes Visual Clutter with Poison Cloud Explosions

Status:	Duplicate
Added by:	khackroach on May 26, '26
Reported for:	RC:EA:00.07.09 Auto

Steps to Reproduce

1. Obtained a Thunderhead Autocannon with increased max fire rate, spread, damage, and +1 penetration.
2. Took the Poison Aura and Spore Release upgrades during negotiations.
3. Shot enemies and observed that when they died, the poison clouds displayed damage numbers, appearing to do so even when no enemies were close to the explosion.
4. Stood still and fired with the autocannon which caused the poison clouds from Poison Aura to explode with every shot, dealing no self-damage but heavily obscuring vision until firing stopped.

Explanation

The Thunderhead Autocannon triggers explosions on poison clouds but does not get rid of them. Abilities such as Poison Aura and Spore Release create these clouds. In combination, staying around the same area with poison aura means that the the Thunderhead will trigger an explosion on the player, this doesn't deal damage, but it almost entirely clutters the screen and makes it impossible to see unless you stop firing. I also noticed that damage numbers appeared when exploding poison clouds from Spore Release. These things together led to a run that made firing cause difficulty to see, and when I thought I was dealing damage, it looked to be just numbers resulting from shooting poison clouds.
