Bulletproof foliage? | Forums

[Auron1_TLM]

While staying very hidden into high grass, I had to shoot against some enemies who were getting too close to my position: a couple of times, bullets went through foliage, and it seems that enemies were not taking damage at all (or the damage was greatly reduced).
Did this happen to any of you?

Yep, and it totally annoyed me. had clear sight on the enemy but couldn´t shoot him because of an invisible wall.
These walls are not only at foliage, but at some vehicles, building, trees, stones (allways around them... seems the hitbox doesn´t fit to the things i see).
Since it´s at so many places we can´t even talk about a minor bug, but more about a bad design choice.

Do any of you have a clip of this, to better explain it to the devs, in addition to this thread?

unfortunately no, but even shooting thru the ferns/other "light" foliage was blocked (obviously tree trunks at ammo as in real life), but esp in the sinking country, the overhead foliage (leaf canopy) was eating the bullets, i'll review my sat night stream and see what i can clip

i cant find the footage, but wep used was a m82a1 mk2....in all specializations, i just could NOT shoot thru the foliage!

i wonder if its a synchronization issue several times sun night while playing, we had alot of desync issues!! markers not on our characters, "surprise" opfor spawns etc...

feels like they went peer to peer with GRB as they did with GRW, and way way too many folks are not reading the FAQ on port forwarding for this game! i "rando'd" several players that desynced regularly who had no idea how to Port Forward nor which ports to forward... and it took me literally seconds to google it! would it be possible to setup "howto" vids in the FAQ to help folks? maybe put up a splash screen on loading reminding them to forward the appropriate ports? "upnp" absolutely SUCKS with current games!

Alrighty noted, yes if you can find a clip it would be great please

Wildlands had the same issue. You could shoot through concrete walls, sheet metal, sandbags and vehicles. But you couldn't shoot through grass and other types of foliage.

that one urks me to no known end!! i had a post that displayed every barrier i shot at/thru with every wep config and the mods deleted it!!! you really had to pay attn to specifics of wall construction to know if you could shoot thru it suppressed/unsuppressed and what caliber to use

This foe clearly records hits as the weapon flies out of his hand and back.

MassiveG has this at 4.38.10 But if you watch the whole video you will see bugs all over the place especially regarding sky-diving and picking up bodies and a whole bunch of other stuff.
