Vassili cannot destroy mines with his sniper. Why is this?

(Tacobandit) #1

So I’ll be using the sniper rifle to shoot proxy mines or Fletcher’s mines, but it will not destroy them. I will dump a full mag into a single mine and it will not destroy it. My machine pistol can clear them at any range though. To also add to this, the sniper rifle won’t destroy Kira’s ammo stations or Aura’s health stations. I have to SMG snipe them, which is ridiculous.

Am I just crazy or is this a bug or is this intentional? Apologies if this is somewhere on the forums, I searched “mine destroy”, “sniper mine destroy”, “mine bug”, and stuff related to that and found nothing.

I can’t destroy heartbeat sensors with it. I figured it was just bad hit detection.

I just want to clarify my first post, I did some more testing and I was able to destroy Aura’s Health Station with the sniper rifle. I did not find a Kira to try and destroy the ammo station though.

You can destroy everything with the sniper, its just got very wonky hit detection the farther away from it you are.

In general switching to your secondary is a better idea.

Same problem here , wonky detectio as stated above ^^

Yea, sometimes I hit a turret once with my sniper, than I wanna shoot it again to neutralize it, but it doesn’t even damage it. I believe the hit detection is pretty bad especially at a certain distance.

Yeah it does no dmg to turret for somehow when you are little bit far from it

Snipe turrets by shooting at the light. I still occasionally do no damage when I aim there, but usually a shot to the glowy bit will ding/destroy a turret.
