Question of Passed Rounds

[nullance]

So I'm still kind of new to this game and don't know all the ins and outs. but here's the story followed by my question

So I played a round in the recent past, And I got to be an antag to be more specific a traitor and was charged with killing the roboticist of the round, and to get this done a got a bag of x4, an energy dagger, and Stetchkin Pistol with a suppressor and some other stuff I didn't get to use. when planting the bombs on the walls in the hall an assistant appears and I got fearful of being exposed so I pulled out the pistol and unload into his chest. the chat said it he deflect every shot and he could not be harmed by range damage and when I check him out later as a ghost which was five second after he killed me he had no armor of any kind. ( he threw me out the airlock after our three encounter)

My question is how did he deflect the shots, and why did it say he could not be harmed by ranged damage.

Traitors can buy a martial art called "Sleeping Carp" that prevents all use of ranged weapons, however makes you dodge all ranged attacks. You got unlucky and happened to unload on a fellow traitor who had carp, thus dodging all your shots.

thanks for the information. maybe next something like this happens I might try to use a code word before they kill me or something.

speaking from experience other traitors will try to kill you even more since they'll get your sweet traitor toys

Above is true, the game isn't what it once was.

Consider purchasing a cryptographic sequencer (emag) instead of X4. It'll allow you to open maint doors as opposed to taking the time to plant a charge on the wall. X4 last time i checked also blows a hole in the hull and exposes it to space.

Good advice, I thought that myself after using the x4, my plan was to catch him in the explosion, it just didn't go as I was hoping. my target ended up dying but from what I don't know.

I still seem to manage some success with codewords. They're worth trying at least.
