Why was the Generator Repair Speed Red instead of Yellow?

I was playing Survivor earlier using Deja Vu and Prove Thyself.

I worked on a Deja Vu highlighted Generator with my teammate, who also had Deja Vu and, as a result of working with me, was affected by my Prove Thyself.

My understanding is we suffer a 15% speed reduction individually for co-op on a generator, thus the red repair bar

However, shouldn't our generator repair have been yellow?

-15 co-op

-15 co-op

+10 Prove Thyself

+10 Prove Thyself

+ 6 Deja Vu

+ 6 Deja Vu

= +2 Total

  • That's because they aren't additive bonuses, but multiplicative, and independent for each person.

    So your personal modifiers are:

    • One 15% reduction penalty for grouping (0.85x multiplier)
    • One 10% buff for prove (1.1x)
    • One 6% buff for deja Vu (1.06x)

    And since the base is 1 charge per second:

    1 * .85 * 1.1 * 1.06 = 0.9911 total.

    So since you're not above the 1 charge per second it shows a red bar. Your friend will have the same bonuses with the same buffs, so you're doing almost, but not quite, 2 charges per second on the gen together.
