Issue with killing with atrophy condition

If killed via Atrophy condition by lowering int to 0 the watcher doesn’t drop any loot, so be wary of using this method 2.126.218.168 00:59, 18 June 2024 (CEST)

Absorb Intellect & Loot

According to the current text and the anon above:

Given its low int score,  Absorb Intellect can quickly reduce the Steel Watcher Titan's int to 0 which will instantly kill it with the  Atrophied condition. However, this will prevent the Titan from dropping any loot.

I was not able to replicate this. On Tactician, I killed the Steel Watcher Titan through Absorb Intellect (although it also suffered other damage, it died through Atrophied, per the combat log) and its loot dropped as usual. It's possible things are different on Honour Mode (for the Hellfire Steel Watcher Titan), or perhaps there are other conditions through which its loot doesn't drop (like its position on the map or Bulwark condition or suchlike). 22:08, 19 December 2024 (CET) 84.84.67.202 22:08, 19 December 2024 (CET)

Thanks. That claim doesn't sound correct to me either. I don't know of any case where the method of killing a target affects the loot drop (other than pushing an enemy into a chasm). I'll try to test it, but in the meantime, I added a [Needs verification] tag. NtCarlson (talk) 22:26, 19 December 2024 (CET)
