Tree branch hitboxes purposely huge?

#1

Are free branches to obscure vision or protect the Predator? I’ll have a clean snipe lined up, but it won’t get a hitmarker. It’s clear that it’s damaging the nearby branch. Those mfin hitboxes are huuuuge

imo shouldnt be blocking bullets at all. if I shoot pred his ass deserves to take that bullet. not get protected by a giant leaf, or worse, the collision of the air around that leaf lol.

Well lets be honest, you shouldnt be spotting pred in the trees so damn easily either. but when you shoot at something you damn well expect to hit it. not get cock blocked by kevlar leaves.

But then again I also expect to not have to dump an ar mag into a ballistic mask before a mother fuckers head pops. But what do I know? shrugs

Yes and no, the branches are only meant to make spotting the Predator harder, and maybe block afew shots from spread shots of weak weapons, but leafs shouldn’t be able to stop a sniper bullets or explosives rounds.

Branches were buffed to provide shielding from bullets at low angles until they break because you’re opting for a high vantage point where you can be shot from all angles.
Tree mount was also given I-frames or something because it still wasn’t worth using trees.

Now they’re okay for running from bullets. Still no good vs snipers which is a lot of the problem with trees.

needs citation

Def better vs snipers bc I can’t hit shit

Just start using the branches, you will notice the parts with foliage will help you hiding and will give you a temporary cover until it’s completly stripped out of foliage.

#11

the tree truck also has a huge hitbox.

#12

I don’t mind the size I just wish the branches matched the hitboxes! But that would look pretty goofy I suppose

#13

they are intended to block sniper bullets wot r u on

#14

Like I said, leafs shouldn’t be able to block a .50 cal bullet, just like how foliage shouldn’t tank a plasma bolt.

#15

Yes that is like what you said and it is actually untrue, as the aoe hitbox around branches does still block 50cal bullets. Where is the miscommunication. As in they fixed it for Plasmacaster, and this is it post fix. Do you understand?

#16

And I’m saying it shouldn’t block it, branches it’s acceptable, but not leafs. Did YOU undestand, m8?

#17

im sorry but in real life if a bullet hits a branch it can throw of its trajectory… so yah if they mess with branches then predator will never go in the trees again. You want to talk realism… lets put a swap on the sniper rifle and you can only shoot it accurate prone or crouched… and you cant jump shoot with guns.

#18

Yeah and that’s not right in this game it doesn’t work like that and we’re talking about this game, not roleplaying a hypothetical game based on real life. In the game we are talking about the leaves around branches are designed to block sniper bullets. You actually talked about whats intended, which you have no idea about unless you designed or coded the branch hitboxes. lol.

Depends, depends on the caliber of the bullet, if a branch is too thick then it could kill some of it’s momentum, if it’s thinner then it COULD change it’s trajectory, and depending of the bullet, it could still turn into fragments.

I’m not talking about over the top realism or a simulator, tho I defend the FT gear should consume their stamina depending on what gear they are using, but like how people were bothered by leafs stoping plasma bolts, a high caliber weapon shouldn’t be affected by leafs, branches are ok, but not leafs.

The sniper is already strong enough. INMO
