The Bodkin Points Visual Glitch

For some time, observant Scout Miners have noted a specific visual discrepancy with the Nishanka Boltshark X-80. Its unique Bodkin Points Overclock, which fundamentally changes how bolts behave by allowing ricochets and piercing, comes with an equally unique bolt model in the game files. However, this distinct model is not actually displayed in-game. Instead, the weapon continues to fire standard bolts, despite the applied overclock.

Impact on Operations

While purely cosmetic, this visual bug can be a point of minor annoyance for those who appreciate the detailed craftsmanship of Deep Rock Galactic’s arsenal. The intended model for Bodkin Points is notably different and visually cooler than the default, emphasizing the specialized nature of the overclock. Management has yet to address this minor oversight, but it’s a detail that doesn’t go unnoticed by the more particular Miners among us. This issue does not affect the actual ricochet or piercing mechanics, ensuring that the Nishanka Boltshark X-80 still performs as expected with the overclock equipped.
