CP railings act like steel walls

[MOTORMOUTH]

Shooting from the top floor "balcony" of the spawn depot in town. Bullets were colliding with the empty space in between the railings as if they were hitting a steel wall.

Fix Naow so I can snipe squishies kthxbye.

I think I get that sometimes with the vehicle gaurd rails on the ramp and bridge overpass located in towns. Although I may be mistaken.

any texture with an alpha does this has been this way since launch. Bridges, the old telephone poles, etc same thing for the stairs on the munitions building and same thing with the stairs on the big oil tanks, if it has an alpha channel on it, you cannot shoot through it.

I am unable to find any part of this building's railing that I cannot shoot through. Please post SS.

Erm i cant shoot through any railings, on top of spawnables, going prone, shooting through the gaps in railings, my shot impacts the railing transparency.

Happened to me also.Top floor,depot exit to roof.Lay down on the floor facing the rails...when you shoot,it doesnt go through.Looks like bullit proof glass just the shot mark between rails.I will try to replicate it.

S!

Speed

[GOPHUR]

Still can't replicate this.

I've had this happen in windows also, not sure which building, but I distinctly remember it happening, I would shoot, and it would hit some invisible wall in front of me, and not go through.

Def happening to other ppl too, me and a ei were shooting at each other from seperate spawnables, neither could get could get a kill shot due to the railings acting like brick walls. Was kinda funny and yet frustrating...

[vondiddy]

happens to me too with the railings.

[Jsilec]

happens to me too with the railings.

cool sig...merycks work?

[riffraff]

Yep same here too.

plus what's up when I can LMG a player at 200meter's plus in the back(and yes hit him) He turns and pops off a quick rifle shot and kills me?

[frantish]

The CP railings did not stop me as rifle for all 3 sides to shoot though (all around)

However the stair for the new fuel tanks does have solid alpha.

HOWEVER, the CP outside ladder is shoot-though in many angles.

About 1/2 the time shooting down the bullets would go though the platform to the ground.

From below, if the sky was behind the platform, then the bullet went though. If the building or upper platform was in way, the bullets hit metal.
