scatter shot disintegration

1

what happens if you shoot a dead body with a scatter shot ? do they disintegrate or does that only happen when they are killed with it ?

2

Nobody knows for certain, probably because nobody has tried. But that is an interesting point you bring up.

3

That’s a good question!

> That’s a good question!

thanks, I hope somehow it can get answered

5

You could always try your luck here.

6

Would be cool if it worked

But why wast the bullets when you can use them on living or in this case holographic Spartans

7

Currently don’t all bodies disintegrate?

Only when killed by a Forerunner weapons, killing them with UNSC/Covenant weapons will not result in a disintegration.

I doubt they will, as it is probably scripted to disintegrate on death rather than hit, but it is a possibility.

We call that common sense.

The way it should be program would a check to know if the player was killed by a Scattershot/Flag Pole/Oddball/… then desintegrate animation would be launch.

It should do! But I wouldn’t be surprised if 343 didn’t implement that.

In pretty much every game that had disintegration effects for some weapons, the effect would only happen if the person was killed by the particular weapon and would do nothing when shooting a dead body.
I can recall only one game that had a weapon that would disintegrate even dead bodies but that was a feature added for stealth mechanics.

it would be better if it did disintegrate dead bodies

I would assume that it only happens when you kill a player with it.

However, that is only a guess. Don’t take my word as definite fact.
