Fades can shoot acid rockets through the welded vents around Waste Handling on Tanith. Took out 4 turrets, a factory, a phase gate and a res tower while the marines all tried in vain to shoot me through the vent, and failed.

Bug or feature?

Haven't tried it, but I'd guess it's a bug. Why would acid rockets be immaterial in that way?

It looks like some sort of "clipping" issue. There was a skulk next to me, pressed up against the vent, and his model looked like it was halfway through the vent. Yet they couldn't hit him, and he couldn't hit them.

So when the Fade's "proboscis" is pressed right up against the vent, it's as if his weapon (acid rocket) is outside the vent, and can shoot things, but his hitbox is still behind the vent, so the marines can't hit him.

Or I could be on crack.



(Why isn't there a lerk or fade icon to choose from?)

naw I think its supposed to be like that, the acid rocket goes through the crack in the vent but since the marines are (supposedly) using lmgs its not accurate enough to go through the little crack. Also a gorges spit can open the welded vent with one shot so....

Bump.

Gorges can open vents? Or is there just a bug with that vent in particular? That would be a new one for me. Never seen it before.

Gorges can only spit open a very few select type of welds. (The ones that close diagonally and leave a little crack)

The vents in question on Tanith are grid (like tic-tac-toe grids) vents, not diagonals.
