Hi all,
I've been recently playing pred. Man, so fun. At any rate when I first started playing it I was making a career out of killing people by shooting my harpoon through deployable shields. Recently I've noticed that it seems I'm not shooting through the shields anymore. Am I crazy or has there been a change to this? Thanks.

A change like that would require a patch, I would think, something Hawken hasn't seen in years and probably won't see until 2017.

All that was changed (or fixed...errrm long time ago) was a random breacher bug

which was putting out 200 damage via charged shot, as I recall.

On the topic of oddities, has anyone else noticed that the Incinerator's Heat Smash has a coldown? It's not very long but I only noticed it a few minutes ago.

Yup. It's very hard to notice unless you concetrate very hard on it. I suppose it's a 0 second cooldown or maybe 1 second that had to be there due to the way the game works (every ability is prolly designed to have a cooldown from the technical point of view).

From the description, the breacher should only penetrate shields if you charge it (haven't played the predator in a long while, so not sure if this is actually true).

So maybe you're forgetting to charge it.

hecatoncheires, you are correct. Charged shots can go through shields and blockades but non charged can go through neither.

What if we just give some bacon paint, some bacon holo-emotes and change Bunker from snow to bacon.

 

This way, everyone will be happy.

What you should really do, is replace your parts with bacon, so you can cook games and eat bacon

Obviously the wallpaper would be cooler if bacon was incorporated into it.

That's the one thing i'd like to see changed on a pred. Shooting shields is a tad too much.

Am I correct that it will only shoot through one shield wall, but not the entire dome?  It seems that I'm unable to hit someone on the other side of the entire shield dome.

Unless there was a ninja patch Breacher will shoot through as many mechs, shields, and barriers as can stand in a line.

 

There is a video somewhere of someone shooting through something like 8 mechs and 8 barriers.

I'm pretty sure it goes through all the way.  I've pierced multiple shields, iirc.  I don't remember if there's a damage falloff through multiple shields/barriers/mechs though.

I believe there is a damage reduction for everything it pierces.

Which increases as the amount of targets to pierce increases

This is what the in-game description claims, but we all know the credibility of those stats and this is very hard to test in a non-cooperative game

Yeah, like the time I made the mistake of believing the fuel converter description.
