Description of glitch: For a short period of time after the Stasis effect wears off of the target, damage taken by the target will be calculated incorrectly.
This is a relatively well known glitch for extra damage on Insanity, but I wanted to take a look at it to see if I could figure out how it worked.
The original dev explanation can be seen here.
To start, I suppose you could say this is preliminary in that if the damage modifiers for difficulty scaling are involved, it is unclear to me exactly how right now. But here are some conclusions so far.
Stasis Glitch can increase damage or reduce damage depending on level and difficulty. The following was observed:
**At Level 30 on Insanity, glitched damage was 7x higher than typical ragdoll bonus damage.
**On Casual, the Stasis Glitch resulted in reduced damage relative to typical ragdoll bonus damage.
**At Level 1 on Normal, Stasis Glitch resulted in reduced damage, but at Level 30 it resulted in increased damage.
**Stasis Glitch damage probably receives bonus from headshots.
**Rarely, targets coming out of Stasis take very high damage (possibly related to proximity to map edges, objects, etc).

Sometimes target seemed to take extreme damage if near walls or other objects. This was the highest observed example.
