Ammunition Crates can't be destroyed or take many shots

#1

Does anybody else experience that the Ammunition Crates can’t be sometimes destroyed or even take many shots before exploding.

Video where the Crate took some shots before exploding, timestamp 01:02: https://youtu.be/3CbkkwgNocU

I don’t know if this is a new bug or maybe a lag from my or Illfonic’s side.

Also I usually only destroy the crates when I happen to see them, so I don’t know if they are just very hard to blow up? I had one on blackwater or overgrowth where the yellow buildings are and I shot the crate at least 15 times and it was still intact, so I just let it slide and focused back on the Fireteam soldier.

I first saw that a few months ago. Got it on video somewhere. Doesn’t happen often though

I usually never experienced it since I usually have never tried to destroy them as frequent as I do now.

You can melee them

#5

Does melee destroy them faster as with the plasma?

Thanks gonna try it today if I happen to run into a crate.

I think they changed it to take more hits or preferably a full charged blast because ft we’re getting blown up left and right by red barrels in the early days

Yeah, maybe that’s the case too

Some of them you can, but some of them seem to display as closed and no matter what you do you can’t blow them up

#11

I think its to deter more advanced pred players to shoot them and blow them up (this isn’t blowing up… screw this lol)

I will shoot them regardless of how many shots cause I love rendering the FT useless :)

#12

Well, yeah but one I tried to blow up was unscaled at all.

Hitboxes on Supply Crates are weird, so depending on the angle you fire the plasma from it doesn’t register. You have to hit the sides of the crates directly for it to register, if you hit the top it doesn’t and this happens alot when firing from trees. You can use melee weapons but you’ll take some damage when it explodes.

I also took damage when I blasted it with the plasma. I also tried melee and the crates was gone in two hits. The damage is nothing to talk about its very little.

But it counts as being damaged which allows you to be blind spotted. And Fireteam have a specialisation where they get increased damage to recently damaged targets, including the Predator. Got to take all these things into consideration when ignoring small amounts of damage 😉
