Traps activating through lava / opaque cubes?

[Howl]

Ran into a few bases like this. Any ideas? I know if activated it will still shoot through the cube but what I'm talking about is just straight through the cube even though the cube should block the trap from activating.

2nd wave traps act as short range holocubes - if you are adjacent to it you are in trap detection range if it reaches, anything further and you are invisible.

from what I understand this is not intentional behaviour. Its a bug that only kicks in on second wave. I report it as abusing exploit whenever I see it.

Is it a exploit? Do we have any official word on that?

None that I know of so far(Surely it would be pin on steam by now, right?), myself I use like 1-2 on some maps adjacent to genmat if raider for whatever reason is afking on it instead of legging it right away or at least not adjacent to the cubes. Anything more would feel too nasty for average raider from my replays.

Ran into some levels that have whole hallways of it and frankly grappling with stock weapons was enough for all of them so far. You can smell them a mile away because of all the "bedrock".

It is not an exploit. If you select 2nd wave in the upgrade menu, you will notice the cube has holes for projectiles to pass through.

It is more likely that splatter is supposed to allow the same functionality as 2nd wave augment as it also has the same holes in cubes but it's bugged and dosen't allow traps to track through.

Get your facts right.

Not yet, but logic would dictate that if it behaves one way in first wave and another in second wave, that's a bug. Either they should fire through first wave or shouldnt fire through second.

idk i kinda like little tricks like this i just put it in with passing through and acid cube putting guys inside holo squares and traps tracking through them after they get a lock on

[Howl]

It definitely caught me off guard but not impossible to manage

Well, it would definitely be helpful to hear someone from the team about that. Because I thought I'm clever since no dungeon I visited yet has used this, so I thought it is a neat, hidden trick. In my latest dungeon I use 3 traps like this, and since these are the only 3 opaque acid blocks I have in the entire level they are probably quite obvious... :D
