Motion detector question...

So does mudding up stop motion detection? Ive had several matches now where reinforcement was called and I had motion detectors all over the reinforcement site and didn’t get a trigger.

Specifically Dutch amphibious was the last chap to pull it off.

No it does not

They only last a certain amount of time though

No this guy was never marked at all. And he had to be hanging out cuz I killed his buddy and seconds later reinforcement hit and I never had a trigger. happen the other day too not too dissimilar from this one although I can’t remember the class and specialization I knew he was going with for reinforcement and was hopping ass as fast as I could there waiting for the trigger and reinforcement was called with no trigger.

Did you put them there at the start of the match or when they were calling it in?

Guess I’m just trying to figure out what is defeating the motion detectors.

Mostly start of match but there was very little time in between startup and call of reinforcement. I could still see the bubbles there myself when I jumped back.

I think they just wore out but I could be wrong

Perhaps @KameofWar or @Schoolboy_Skeptik know the duration of motion detectors

Do you think if they timed out that I would still be able to see the motion detectors there? And if they timed out would they disappear from my map That’s one thing I like about the motion detectors that they show on my map so I know where I laid them sometimes I’m too high and I forget where I found reinforcement lol

I’m not too sure

I haven’t used them since I first started playing

see that’s exactly where I’m at and I bought the Valkyrie and she’s dope as f*** but can’t take bear traps so I’m stuck with motion detectors and now I’m all confused as to why they’re not working sometimes

Do you by chance have the video saved from that match?

If not try to record it next time so the moderators can identify the issue

Yeah I should have recorded it didn’t think about it.

Next time it happens I have to remember to hit the goddamn share button lol

Detectors can be destroyed, so it’s possible that the last standing guy saw it and destroyed it.
Also, detectors “expire” over time.

Yep. They are buggy. I could run a few tests eventually and try to figure out why they don’t always mark the target.

It could be because you were to far away from the motion detector when it first pinged the Dutch, and he probably didn’t move after finding a place to hide.

It definitely was still there not destroyed, I could still see them on my map and I seen them on the roof when I jumped over.

That would be sweet I didn’t know they were buggy at all, but that doesn’t surprise me in this game.

They are just bugged as hell.
For me they almost never really work.
The only enemies they consistently show is AI, and even there it is occasionally bugged.
