Earlier, I was fighting some freeze sims, and was running low on health. I activated my trusty Mobius code, but it played different visual (orange parts in the normally green animation) and sound effects (a gutteral noise not unlike the Agent Spawn or meatwad effects). I was unable to snap a screenshot of the effect in time, but I did find the system chat...

 

 I suppose there's a random, albiet rare chance of this happening with each use?

There must be like a 0,0000000000001% chance that happens 'cause I've never seen that text nor the effect you describe. Cool find though.

Figures. I get a once in a lifetime alternate effect on an ability, and I still can't get that one final point to Maximum reputation.

Yes indeed there is a 1% chance that a secondary effect will go off when you activate the Mobius Code.

Yeah... yet another reason why I don't like Mobius in duels, lol.

Well at least we got quick confirmation instead of a bunch of flamming and "ZOMG J00 PS THAT! SPLOITZ!" SMILEY

Yeh that would absolutely suck if that happened during a duel. It would be an instant win.

Ive heard somewhere that you have to use Mobius Code a certain amount of times, then the actual icon fr it changes slightly, in this instance the next time you pop it, the ability would have this effect.

So yea, is that true?

Was that set after the death of the destroyer event?
'Cause I got it three or four times just during that time... 

I always figured it was cause it was more or less supposed to work more frequently then seeing as it was released during the event and well..  Alright I don't remember correctly but there was a theory that it was somehow connected to the assassin.

Luckily I got one of em off right before the assassin pulled his Omni kill thingy. =P

And just for clarification it basically grants you all the same things as mastershadow for a short while.

I've only used this effect about 3 or 4 times during my time having it. I wish it would happen more often.

not really, the effect last about a second which most of the time is spent on the groud from the last attack or during your own. Only had it happen 3 maybe 4 times.

Also the effect has been there since Mobius was first given out. Walrus hinted that it had a second effect other then just healing you in a OSOTLG i think.

In the Vector Olympics, when it was SC vs. ML, I forgot who but someone used it when i was fighting them and they got the effect.  That is the only time i've ever seen it happen.
