Airstrikes killing people indoors


(HammerOfDawn21) #1

I noticed lately that you get killed indoors by skyhammer’s airstrikes. I was standing at almost in the middle of the first corridor in bridge and got killed by a airstrike.

In chapel my airstrike killed a person who was engaged in another fight indoors, so this doesn’t seem to be a ping issue. Anybody else seen this happen?

The airstrike marker acts like a mini grenade when thrown, so that might have hit them. Or they were close enough to the blast radius to take damage and die.

Yeah it happened to me lately also, i managed to kill myself with my own airstrike even though i was indoors and thought i was safe. LOL

Damn you Explodydendrom :lol:

Happens sometimes to me as well, even if before the explosions start I’m already behind a wall, but near a door or the like. No clue if intentional somehow or if walls aren’t properly acting as barriers in some places.

With the Explodydendron augment, the AoE on Skyhammer airstrike is ridiculous.


(ThunderZsolt) #6

Yes, the airstrike goes a good 1,5m below the roofs. For example on Bridge at the ene of the EV escort you can die to drone strike while standing in the staircase.

I think it only happens with explodydendron, because the game calculates where the strike is, and then extends the range (even if the extended area is under a roof)

@ThunderZsolt would be nice if there was a no go barrier for effects that normally couldn’t go there. ie. airstrikes through structures.

It’s not a matter of the Explodydendron Augment. Since the update you can actually get killed by airstrikes through certain walls, which before would have blocked it.


(XavienX) #9

I guess it’s just the AOE of the airstrike. I mean hell, Arty Strikes do that too sometimes but because it’s AOE isn’t that strong it doesn’t happen so often.

The most bullshit is that I get killed by Kira’s laser indoors. INDOORS. THRU A WALL.

I’ve had this happen at least once…it was in a execution…I was indoors…the marker thrown outdoors…I was on the upper level and every single projectile landed outside of the building yet it killed me.

You have to admit, Skyhammer is capable of ludicrous cheese kills


(Dr_Plantboss) #13

Ok, I knew this existed, but I thought it was fixed in Shell Shock…

Time to go trolololing with Skyhammer!


(kittz0r) #14

wait til you see skyhammer mains that get kills from out of bound markers
and baits people with ammo packs

or become mini fragger and go rambo with a pocket medic

skyhammer is just a good all around merc, not necessarily OP

I mean…

To be fair, the concussive force of high explosive blast waves can kill you through walls IRL too

But this is a video game, there is no room for logic in video games! :stuck_out_tongue:

If we were to starting using the “like IRL” excuse, there would be much more pressing matters to apply it to… like potentially sixteen mercenary clones able to call bombers to invade British airspace and drop air strikes on British soil every sixty seconds.

We also have Sparks the necromancer, Phoenix, nobody being bothered about Kira owning the controls of a giant space laser, Arty being the same story as Skyhaggis, and how no weapons except snipers can 1 shot people to the head.
