When a player picks up or triggers the Damage Amplifier Powerup device, their ability to deal damage to another player or NPC (non-player character) is instantly amplified. This applies to any weapon the player is using at the time of the powerup.
The effect is temporary but you can customize the powerup duration.
You can also control which players, teams or classes can use this powerup, how much the powerup is amplified (multiplied), how long it lasts, and a number of other customizable features. You can use it to give one team an advantage — especially when playing against NPCs — or to level the playing field. It’s also a useful pickup for players in-game.
To find the Damage Powerup device, see Using Devices.
It’s helpful to customize device names when you use multiple copies of the same device.
Contextual Filtering
Some devices are affected by a feature called contextual filtering. This feature hides or displays options depending on the values selected for certain related options. This reduces clutter in the Customize panel and makes options easier to manage and navigate. To help identify them, values that trigger contextual filtering are in italic.
All options are listed, including those affected by contextual filtering; if they are hidden or displayed based on a specific option's value, there will be a note about it in the Description field for that option.
