Proxy mines inside the objective

(frostyvampire) #1

You can place Proxy mines inside objectives such as the C4 and the objective you have to deliver (mainly used on Bridge).

The problem with it is not that it’s a very good spot, but the fact you can’t shoot the mines because of that.
Today I wanted to take the objective on Bridge to win the game, I saw the mine thanks to my Bomb Squad augment, but I couldn’t destroy it. I wasted 2 full clips of MP400 and a few shots from my Remburg and the objective just absorbed all of them. I even tried placing my own mine next to the objective and shooting it but it also didn’t work so what I had to do is go behind the objective and activate the mine through the wall. By the time I got rid of it, the enemies already respawned and got back to the room so I got killed

And a lot of times it happens to me that I place a mine inside the C4 and I see a bunch of grenades exploding next to it but my mine is still there. And wise versa, I try to destroy the mine with a Fletcher sticky but it doesn’t do any damage to it

So please, either disallow placing mines inside things, or just make bullets go through them like there’s nothing there

I’ve seen this on Bridge recently and although the mines were placed completely underneath the delivery point (garage side) I was still able to shoot them. Either way, needs to be fixed, hopefully already addressed in the map update due this month.

I think you can still shoot them if you find a spot where they are exposed, but it’s really difficult to do it and usually you won’t have time for this when you push.

If the mines are so far inside an object that you cannot hit them 97.9% of the time you can simply retrieve or put the object into the retrieval point without triggering the mine. Still annoying but you can play around it.
