Edit: It totally works sry! It seems it only applies to fighting the bugs. Apparently shooting a rock / ur own stuff doesn't get buffed.
Armored biters damage numbers display a 2nd negative one in ( )'s after u kill them though. Guessing it's the overkill damage, but odd it only does it to the mod armored ones. Guessing something with the mod. Not a big deal but maybe something could fix?
