Net gun does not work on players that are reviving other players

#1

PC version (although it doesn’t matter what platform the target is on).

The net gun (and pretty much all pin effects), does not apply to any character in the middle of reviving another player.

#2

It does on PS4

#3

Just the pin effect, or it doesn’t hit them at all in general?

#5

ignores them completely

#6

I count it as a pin effect because it makes them unable to use abilities (even if they are not pinned to a wall or the ground).

#7

They have to have actually started the revive process (they kneel down next to the downed player), and then you can not net lock them or pin them with the stick

#8

It’s a hitbox issue then. Someone posted this already, but basically the game doesn’t accurately size the hitbox for the downed person.

Its extremely annoying. Cause every projectile gets blocked. I only wanted to clarify cause I thought it was a whole new glitch that made it so they couldn’t get pinned.

Anyway, for now, until they fix it, you just have to keep it in mind and change your angle. I would say if you cant relocate for whatever reason, use plasma cannon, and bomb the downed person till you kill them.
Spear throw works wonders too.

Best advice I can give ya for this situation buddy.

I’ve been standing next to the player trying to rez the other and run around them firing nets.
angle is not the problem unless no angle works. I’m not talking long range, I’m talking charging in and netting the guy that’s trying to do the rez.

I’ll set up to record and try and post a vid next time it happens

I still think it’s a hitbox issue, but you would have to test it out then. Cause for me I can hit ppl trying to rez someone, from behind or the side. But ppl dont usually crouch so idk.

Too bad you’re not on ps4 I would invite you and we could try to test it. But wed need 1 more person.

#11

hopefuly I get a few more games tonight and I should be able to recreate the scenario.
When I can I’ll post vid

at 40 min wait per game I should get at least 2 more tonight

#12

Lmao 40 minutes that’s brutal. Try to talk in game and see if the ft will let you test it out.

#13

LMFAO,
you gotta be kidding me… PC player vs PS3 FT and they’re going to let me test a theory?
they’ll say yes and then t-bag my corpse because they managed to win when I let my guard down

#14

Well good luck lol.

#15

@Fire yea thats hitbox issue i have some matches where i revived someone and i heard now net is destroying even i saw pieces of net
Damn if you crouch and revive some where is some weird angle (literally Pred can see your head and shoulders) sometimes arrows are blocked by downed teammate fricking meatshield lol

#16

This is 100% a hitbox issue. If the net goes over the downed guy you’re actually netting the downed guy rather than hitting the person reviving them. Happens all the time with bows if you use downed FT members as bait to fire at the reviving FT.

#17

There ya go. And see? This is usually how it is for me ppl are cool as hell lmao. I asked them in the lobby and the 1 dude with the mic was like sure.
Afterwards I just let them kill me cause it was faster then them going the mission, and I didn’t want to kill them.

This is just some light testing but it shows the issue. It’s the same with all projectiles.

#18

you’re on PS4 or PC?

#19

Ps4 but I thought you said platform didn’t matter?
I’m telling ya, it’s just the hitbox and what angle you go I’m from.

#20

I said the platform the other player was on didn’t matter.
(as the the game is not entirely server or client based but a mix of the two it makes a difference)

I’ve got replay set up, so next time I get a chance to repeat the scenario I’ll post a vid

#21

Aight. Might be map specific too.
