I've noticed and seen discussed on discord that the heat transfer to cogmind from weapons when enemies are wielding them is far less than the listed heat transfer stat. Trying to figure out what the actual data is, to evaluate carrying improved heat shield. I've gone through the manual, all the weapon and status menu tool tips, and asked around on discord at the moment, but can't find an answer. Thx, and apologies if I'm missing anything obvious.
The manual describes how heat transfer is calculated under Attack Resolution.
Ok, cool. To clarify, enemies transfer heat to cogmind the same as cogmind does to them when wielding the same weapon?
Yep, it's all the same. There are only a couple exceptions with high-tier Grunts, which'll only transfer half the usual heat to Cogmind for balance purposes because they not only have some pretty hot weapons but you'll also meet a bunch of them at once, and without that adjustment you'll be in the red extremely fast for fighting "average" hostiles :P
