Description

  • The Ghostclip update changed the appearance of Proxy’s mines.

    There used to be red/blue small “candle flame” beam of light coming from the top center.

    The small beam of light in the top center is now missing.

  • It should be visible even without Bomb Squad.

  • Steps to reproduce:

  • Deploy a Proxy mine or find one in-game

  • Expected results:

  • Proxy mine has a small red/blue light beam coming from the top center

  • Actual results:

  • Proxy mine has nothing coming from top center

Reproduction rate:

  • 10/10

Note:

  • This change may not be specific to these mercs only and may affect others (i.e. restoring Skyhammer and Arty’s effects, but forgetting about Kira, Bushwhacker, and Proxy):
  • No other abilities or effects or other parts of the game were tested
  • I don’t know what other assets use this rope sprite laser
