Hey, everyone!
The teams have been hard at work testing a number of community issues today, mainly focused on the changes to ricochets and shrapnel. In response to a previous post on reddit, we looked into the possibility of rockets and other explosives being affected by ricochets. This has since been debunked by the community, but nonetheless, our Ministry of Defense team also ran a number of tests today and confirmed that rockets and explosives are not ricocheting.
However, we have noticed another issue through these posts and community feedback that has identified the possibility for shots from the R-36 Eruptor to explode and rebound shrapnel at the shooter, which has a high enough damage value to instantly kill the player. To prevent this, we're looking to completely remove the shrapnel effect from the Eruptor but will be increasing its hit damage as a result. This should make it less lethal to the operator but just as powerful against enemies. It should maintain its destructive power, and as it is still classed as explosive, it will not lose the ability to break objects, close holes, destroy fabricators, etc. This will, overall, be a buff to the weapon as shrapnel played an almost negligible part in the damage and power it dealt.
Currently, with the systems in place, only small arms should be able to ricochet on armor. If you see an explosive VFX at the point of impact, the projectile is not causing a ricochet, as explosion effects are not triggered when a ricochet occurs. Shrapnel, however, can still explode outwards from the point of impact and kill the player.
We apologize for this misunderstanding and thank you all for investigating these new changes so diligently, and for passing on your feedback to us. Hopefully this makes sense and these changes should help everyone survive better!
자기들 실험으로는 로켓이나 폭발물이 도탄 되지 않는다고 하던데
대전차도 도탄 되는 사람도 있고 나도 본적이 있고 뭣보다 에너지계인 아크도 도탄 되어서 반대쪽에 있는사람 죽여본 경험이 있었는데....
뭣보다 사거리 제한 있는것들 도탄 되면 착탄 되기 전까진 사거리도 무한인거 같더만
이럽터 탄 도탄 되서 300m 떨어진 사람 죽여 본적 있고
아크도 도탄 된건지 번개 반대로 날아가서 뒤에 150m 거리에 있는 아군 죽여 봤는데
이걸 왜 아냐면 내 이름 뜨면서 죽었다고 하닌깐....
