New World's Hatchet is a bit good right now, to put it lightly. Over the past few days, oodles of players have taken to Reddit and the MMORPG's forums to flag that the Against All Odds perk probably isn't behaving like it should, prompting a response from one of the game's community moderators.
"Hello everyone, thanks for letting us know about this, and confirming others are experiencing the same issue," Rayman says. "Some other adventures also reported this earlier, and I have made the dev team aware already. I will be sure to include your details on the report as well! Thank you for your patience while we work to improve."
Typically, Against All Odds is intended to give you a base damage increase of 10% for every enemy that's within five metres of you. However, players report that the buff persists even after you die or someone leaves the five-metre radius, which allows some people to put out damage of up to 2,000 while unbuffed, for example. The buff only goes away if you swap weapons.
