I recently bought a heavy repeating crossbow that is supposed to do 2d6 cold damage per shot. I have never seen it do more than 6 points save on foes weak to cold. Today I bought a repeater that has 2d6 chaotic damage listed, but I have yet to see more than 6 points of alignment damage. Level 2d6 effects seem to be working just fine on my melee weapons. Is this a restriction placed on repeaters to keep them from doing absurd elemental damage, or is elemental damage on repeaters bugged?
Apologies if this has come up before, google showed me no love on this issue.
