Defense against Gunpowder

Typically, when you shoot a ship the damage shows in red if you don't have powders on and gold if you do. I just shot at a player with powders on but the damage showed in red and was quite reduced. Is there a castle or skill or something else that is a defense to gunpowder? Or is it a bug or exploit?

 

Ahoy,

If you do indeed have Black Powders equipped then as you have stated the damage you cause will be an orange colour. There is no way a player can or should be able to stop this for occuring.

There are other types of damage which you can inflict which will appear red even if you do have Black Gunpowders equipped. A few examples would be; Damage over time (burn damage), contact mines and damage from rockets.

If you are certain this was not the case, then I suggest you send this into Support with as much evidence as you can. Our Support Team will then look into this for you and take the appropriate action if needed.

Has this answered your query?

I was definitely shooting him/her with hollows and powders on. It is a ship that I suspect as being a bot, so having other exploits wouldn't surprise me. It also means I won't have any trouble finding it again because no matter what time of day, it is always sailing on map 13, doing the exact same pattern, shooting the same NCPs.

 

Ahoy,

Then yes you will need to send this information into our Support team, we are unable to assist with this matter on the forum.
