'Neutral' all-killing airstrikes, and airstrikes that are impossible

(Matuno) #1

I’ve never really had hard evidence of this before, but I finally got some today.

For some time now, I’ve had moments hwere I’d get killed by airstrikes without a name popping up of who killed me. I figured that this was just a bug and that the airstrike was the enemy’s, then some stuff happened today.

Just now I had a game on Chapel where a few enemies were killed by an airstrike, and I was killed too. As Kira, so it wasn’t my own airstrike. It was definitely the enemy’s as we didn’t have any Skyhammers on our side.

Another weird airstrike happened on Execution a few days ago, where I was killed by an airstrike ‘lick’ on the far end of a building. Funny thing was; there was only one Skyhammer, and he died by my hand a good 30 secs earlier, and was most definitely most certainly gibbed. Again, the game didn’t show who the airstrike belonged to.

I’ve been unsure about how and why this happens and just figured that I’m slowly losing my mind, but today’s events made me sure. There is something really wonky going on.

@Matuno that is really strange… if you happen to get a video of this happening it would be greatly appreciated :wink:

I had hoped to provide this with this bug report, but I wasn’t recording at the time. Hopingg others can confirm/keep an eye out, I’ll try to capture it when I can. Thanks for replying @NxA_Noxie

This one came from an enemy (the marker was seen for a fraction of a second), the red path of the explosion was hovering in mid-air.

This by itself isn’t that neat, there were no enemies nearby to show that they would get hit too. Still waiting to see that happening again.

This bug was reported back when I first started playing last year tbh. I’ve had it happen a few times but it’s pretty rare. Every time it’s happened to me though it has been from an enemy air strike but yeah for some reason it doesn’t say who. It does still give them the kill though. It’s only been a visual bug from my experience.
