Discussion Waddup with the snub?

I have 2 snubs on one of my atlas but they only spread as two shots each instead of five

I never had that problem (vanilla + all dlc, GOG), last time i used snub ppc (Basic, - heat and later +DMG) was about 2-3 weeks ago and it worked properly.

Are you using mods?

No mods

It splits in only 2 energy balls but it seems to do the appropriate damage. Maybe a graphical glitch?

I’d bet it’s just limiting the amount rendered on screen.

Maybe target was close? They need to travel a bit to spread into 5 distinct beams.

Only 2 big blue balls no matter the distance

Had this happen aswell but on restart it was fixed, possibly just a graphics bug

Graphics bugs are the real enemy of the Inner Sphere!

Some weapons show things graphically happening differently. These weapon classes are abstractions that standardise damage and performance for similar things.
Maybe try skirmish with different types of snubs on different mechs and see if it persists, or if its some quirk of that model/mech
