Talk:Reaper Leviathan/@comment-2602:306:BC72:2880:A870:8C04:5253:2DA8-20170923004909

Was just playing. It does ~50 damage, not 80 damage. I'm in stable, my health was full. Nothing else attacked me. The wiki says 80 damage. I don't know if this could've been seen incorrectly or what.

I believe it could've been updated to 50 damage to make the Ghost Leviathan much more formidable. If it did 85 damage (like how the wiki says it does), and the Reaper did 80, then there is nothing making the Ghost Leviathan more terrifying, besides its spawning location, of course. In fact, when I went into the lost river and saw one above, all I did was stay low, and I wasn't really scared of it.

Meanwhile, I'm sitting here near the void and I want to make a base. I am surrounded by two Reaper Leviathans and it is very uncomfortable. I do keep leaving to make more base parts - and here is the thing:

I was attacked by one while attempting to use the stasis rifle on it, and there were no nearby predators other than it, and I took somewhere between 50-55 damage. Does the sandshark even do that much?

I've also checked many predators, and they all seem to do 30 damage. That's a 4-hit kill, and it would make sense that the Reaper is stronger, with a 2-hit kill.

Could I be right? Usually when I rant like this I am either instantly disproven by something I forgot to think about, or I realize something afterwards which also disproves it. The game was just updated, so I think it would make sense that we wouldn't have noticed the change, as well as the fact that one of the two recent updates adds something which makes it sensical to change the damage of the Reaper.

Although, I'm probably wrong. I usually am when I do this.
