What does "Enraged" mean? (Storm Raging)

General Discussion
1

The description is super vague.

Do they, like, shoot faster? Or do more damage? Or move faster? Or take more damage to kill?

What is the deal? I want to know what to expect, before I queue up for the mode.

EDIT

People have already answered my question in the comments. Thank you.

I have the impression that the enemies will gain increased damage when you kill nearby enemies. As such, if you leave certain enemies alive for too long whilst constantly killing everyone around them, they’ll keep gaining damage until they just one-shot you. Thus, the mode will mainly require coordination in regards to target prioritization.

At least that’s what I’m getting from it.

Since the visuals for it look similar to Nanoboost’s, I’m guessing it’s the exact same effect (50% more damage done, 50% less taken.)

I don’t think it stacks though, I think an enemy is either enraged or they’re not (though I can’t confirm that.)

Okay. Thanks.

As much as I like these challenge modes, I wish the description was better. First of all, they don’t tell you that any of these modes are on expert in the mini description below the name. And they’re also very vague about what the mode entails.

Okay. Good to know. Thanks.

It’s just a nano boost, try to kill non-enraged enemies first, so they don’t get enraged if you kill an enraged target.

Really, don’t do that next to a heavy.

And watch out for enraged enforcers, they pack a punch

Also while I can’t 100% confirm this, the “Nearby enemies are enraged” effect seems to need LoS to function. If you can isolate an enemy via Ice Wall or Boop/Hooking them round a corner and then killing them nobody else gets the bonus.

Yeah, they really could do a better job at conveying information. Way too many people enter those challenges expecting to encounter normal or hard difficulty bots (at least in the first week).

It’s an ana ult. That’s all. Plus 50% damage resistence and 50% damage.

Umm, you might not want to use that particular word, right now. Lol.

I also think “isolate” would not be a good option. Lol.

And I don’t suggest saying the Enrage “spreads (like a virus)” either. :rofl:

Enrage means red Nano boost.
