Fences? | Forums

[CoppertopBunny]

Hey all,

I'm noticing I can no longer fire my weapon through chainlink fences. Is this a new *feature* or was there a known change made that I'm not aware of... and is anyone else having this problem? If it is a change was there a reason given? Took me awhile to realize why my shots are not hitting targets when passing fences anymore. Maybe I'm glitched somehow?

Literally, I shoot at target, shot goes boink as if hitting a metal wall with EVERY shot now if it attempts to pass through the fences. Thanks in advance.

Also, was the vehicle spawn limit changed or something? I can no longer effectively setup roadblocks with the same number of cars as I could no more than 1-2 weeks ago. Vehicles will simply despawn and suddenly I get things that happen such as civi's no being able to blow past a point I despawned and getting themselves killed with mines. I noticed mines also have a lowered spawn amount than before if playing solo.

Yep, I just tried shooting through a fence and sure enough...clink. Good job Ubisoft, that sure needed fixing. Everybody knows those chain link fences are supposed to be bullet proof. Sigh

EDIT: After further testing it appears same as always, buggy. Certain places the fence might be like that, and not all shots will go through even sections that are working right. So spoke too soon.

I noticed that chain link fences seemed bullet proof when I started a new play through before I had the Adv Suppressor skill. It seems the nerfed penetration on some firearms with suppressors makes chain link fences impenetrable. Try taking your suppressor off and see what happens.

Had to do a double take on the header of this post... for a moment I thought we were going to be talking about "waste matter discharged from the bowels after food has been digested", otherwise known as Feces.

There's been no global change to chain-link fences that I'm aware of. More often than not, I've seen people comment that they can't shoot through them (similar to yourself, OP).

Similarly, I'm not aware of any change to the amount vehicles or mines that can be spawned/can exist in one area. No changes of that kind were announced in the last maintenance.

I'm thinking of some posts quite awhile ago that mentioned fences as being generally "touch and go", but that the higher your penetration stat on the weapon, the better off you are. I'm using mostly a 556xi, and having issues of shooting thru fences doesn't come to mind.

Saying that, I try not to do so as a general rule, unless it's the only recourse.

I got out of the habit of randomly shooting through them, but I seem to recall those ones you can't drive through with concrete at the bottom were the ones that also couldn't be shot through. So that's why anymore I only shoot through the ones you can break through. Even frag grenades won't destroy the ones with concrete bases.

This is extremely annoying along with not being able to shoot through trees and bushes. There are many times In ghost war while I spot someone but I can’t shoot through a bush or a chain-link fence by the recon tower??

This is just silly Ubisoft!

Thank you for the input! I'm *almost* glad to see I'm not the only one experiencing issues. Although, even with sniper rifles I still have this issue, even with a couple window sets too, of which, I used to shoot through. Maybe it's time to reinstall the game? Hopefully it's just a bug that will be corrected. I love this game, but the bugs that pop in and out make the immersion go away real quick.

Fav moment of the week was myself and the cartel solders looking directly at one another through a standard chainlink fence (breakable), and neither of us could hit one another so we just stood there as the reinforcements decided to roll up, cause you know, we could not shoot one another. XD
