Lazer Blazer not taking damage

I don't yet fully understand when this happens, but it is far more common when the lazer blazer is level 2 or 3 and it can be mitigated by firing at the base of the turret. I have juiced as assault with a grenade launcher and fired every round at the top half of a level 3 lazer blazer seeing an explosion for every hit without doing any damage at all to the turret. I have failed to do damage with direct hits from other weapons on the lazer blazer as well, but the grenade launcher seems to be the most reproducible one. This is really annoying.

This thread is almost scary because it basically describes what happened to me while playing MNC yesterday. But yes, the grenade launcher appears to have problems hitting the LBs if they are upgraded.

I have to like lead grenades playing the assault and hit it at the very bottom where the steam is to do any damage.

Ok well I'm glad I'm not the only one doing this.

I don't have any problem killing them with gunner, tank, or assassin

But with assault, Lv2 and Lv3 lazer turrets don't take damage from grenades unless I hit them at the bottom.

Maybe it is just the assault grenade launcher doing this, but I'm pretty sure I saw this problem again today with it. It may have also happened once with the mortar launcher, unsure on that one though.

Seems exclusive to the grenade launcher to me

Never had problems with the mortar, although I wouldn't notice if one of the split three wasn't doing anything

I can't be sure, but I think I saw my grenade launcher detonate directly on a player without damage today. No health bar showed up for the enemy taking damage and nothing intercepted it because we were in the open. Maybe it's a GL issue in general and lazer blazers just exacerbate the problem somehow?

No, that happens too. I've spoken to Eka at least about the turret bug.

I've found that this happens with ALL turrets, it's just more noticeable with lazers. It seems that the part of the turret that changes when it's upgraded is invulnerable to grenades, but the part that stays the same is not.

The majority of a rockit turret is exposed and vulnerable, but it might not take damage if you shoot the top part of an upgraded one.

Longshots and shaveice won't take damage from grenades if you shoot them from above, but the base is shaped such that you can usually hit them straight-on.

Lazers are a big problem because at Lv3 the upgraded portion of the model covers almost the entire thing, so you kind of have to bounce grenades underneath the turret to get to the center.

Ok, well it definitely still exists but I could not get it to happen as frequently today. Interestingly enough, I actually got hit directly with an enemy grenade today in the open and took no damage, so I got to see it blow up in my face and do nothing. This is still a problem and it can happen on players and turrets both. I've only seen it happen with gunners and assaults on the pros front. Lazer blazers are still doing it, but it may have happened to me on a rock it as well.

Thanks, Barbara. I'm glad to be back!!! I had no idea I was missed so much! :roll:

Funny thing is, this has probably been like this a while but since nobody built lazers it was left unknown...

what's a lazer?

Hitreg can be so wonky sometimes
I've had so many shots go through turrets, firebases and players that if hits vs shots fired was tracked mine would probably be 10%

Additional wonkiness is when someone with 300+ ping has better luck hitting targets than those with 60
