Tenderizer

Tenderizer is a Charisma-based perk for both Adventure and Nuclear Winter

Effects
Striking a target will cause them to receive more damage from all sources for a limited time.

Interactions
Tenderizer is unique in that it works by allowing multiple players (equipped with the card) to contribute to the overall debuff by striking the target. The values of each count of the perk are added together up to a maximum of 40%, although they will retain their individual timers. Players cannot refresh their stack until it wears off. The effect multiplicatively increases a target's incoming damage.


 * If eight players with Tenderizer 1 (5% for 5 seconds) attack the same target, they will reach the maximum 40% debuff.
 * If four players with Tenderizer 3 (10% for 10 seconds) attack the same target, the will reach the maximum 40% debuff.

Changelog

 * As of patch 23, the damage values were increased from 5/6/7% to 5/7/10%. (Adventure Mode only)

Bugs

 * The perk card description incorrectly omits the debuff effect stacking up to a maximum of 40% when used by multiple players.
 * Each pellet from a multi-hit weapon, such as a shotgun or a beam splitter, will apply a stack of Tenderizer. This behavior is due to the pellets all reaching the target simultaneously, which is why none of the pellets which apply the debuff will benefit from it.
 * A single player can apply the full 40% damage debuff by hitting the target with (at least) eight pellets of their shotgun.
