BUG SUMMARY: Detonators freely pass through Shields and explode on targets behind them.

Unlike HE Charges that explode on impact with a shield and cause AOE damage, Detonators pass right through them and do full damage.

Both Allectus and I tested this while [HWK]Support_Our_Troops (AKA Moose) watched in a match today. We staged a shield and shot a detonator at one another. Both passed through the shield. A second test using HE Charges shows that they explode on the shield itself. After seeing this, Moose suggested I put in a bug report as this should not happen:

Detonators should explode ON the shield like HE Charges do, not pass through them.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:  Load map, deploy Shield, shoot Detonator through shield at target on the opposing side of shield.

EXAMPLE:

FREQUENCY: Consistent

SEVERITY: MEDIUM

You forgot to mention detonators also do as much damage as he charges now. There's absolutely no reason to take an he charge over a detonator anymore.

HE's also pass through shields.  Go try it. This may be intended.

We tested it, they explode "ON" the shield. The only way HE's pass through the shields is if they roll in it. Again, we tested it.

I used some Deto's myself and they do pass through shields and I use it to my advantage against enemies hiding behind them.
What's surprising is I accidentally launched my Deto and Shield and the Shield became a flying ball. Does that mean the shields can attach to  Detos? I can't reproduce since its hard to time it right.

Yes, it is possible to attach a shield to a Detonator. I've done it myself and it is funny as all get out to watch it flying with the shield around it. Just got to time it right.

If you timed it right, you could probably get a shield attached to an AA missile.

The goofiest thing ever is attaching EOC pucks to a detonator. It transforms your detonator into the tsar bomba.
