You can't shoot through chain link fences

[Z0MBE]

But enemies can

There is an achievement for killing enemies through barriers. Go and get it.

I just mag dumped through a fence, the bullets hit the fence, the bullet holes appear on the otherside of the fence but the bullets aren't hitting the ai ... and yet the ai bullets are hitting me ...

Starting to think hitreg is completely broken when it comes to player hitboxes

I know I've hit enemies through chain link fences, at least I have in the Sphere. Maybe it's not the same in all locations.

There are different fences in the area, there's a section of the sphere area that is completely closed off that you could get stuck in if you didn't parkor over the watchtower .. but there's a chainlink fence there that you cannot - in the mid section of the sphere there's a barbwire fence that has no bullet hitbox, ie the bullets don't cause effects.

But you know if you see a chainlink fence, you shoot, and the bullet sparks come off as if you hit a solid metal object ...

Im beginning to think the hitbox of the chainlink fence is broken, and that the bullets from ai hit you no matter what with magnetic physics - I've been completely concealed behind cover and the same thing happens.

[insert food here]

I had the same happen to me many times. It has never been fixed.

Worst area for this is the cave area inside the bunker. Had a fight with some enemies on opposite side of a fence and was wondering why i took zero damage. I turned on god mode and just mag dumped a dude with 3 mags just to see if ANY damage passes through. Nope, none.

Similar thing happens in the guard towers if you use them to snipe. In some areas the barbed wire on top of the walls also is bullet proof well above the top of the wall.

The achievement must refer to other barriers and not these as these chain link fences don't pass through any damage. Also maybe not ALL the fences are doing this?

The one I was able to shoot through is the one one the back side of the building, you pass right by it if you are following the ward path using their informant to enter. There are a lot of things that they need to fix, they can just add that to the list.

It's interesting, inconsistent design

Maybe they had AP rounds? Or some caliber with Penetration.

ah but the bigger the bullet, the more likely it will get stuck inbetween chains ..

OP is going to feel real silly when they realize that's a glass shards anomaly and not a fence.

Your game might be temp bugged. Try restarting game if you haven't already bro. It's how I got this achievement completed...

erm, you are aware of just how small a bullet round is and the gap between a chainlink fence is right?

For the record op, I've never had an issue killing npc's through chainlink fences.

What gets me about it is I was being hit but my bullets impacted the fence as if it were a solid block, with the effects - the bullet hole would appear on the other side but a whole clip wouldn't even touch the guy right on the other side.

The bullets hitting me makes me think there really isn't bullet physics when it comes to npcs
