Cloaker inside walls, thru floors. Cant shoot at him. Jumps out and owns you!

[animal_PLANET]

I have noticed this a lot lately. Cloaker will be nowhere in sight. You can hear him. Know where he is, but cant shoot because he is safely inside the wall. All of a sudden he comes flying at you, you are already locked in take down animation so you cant move and he owns you.

Has anyone else noticed this? Best example i can give is Rats Day 1 especially. If he happens to be spotted you clearly see him freak out. He'll Run to basement. Come flying thru wall or floor. Kick you. Then bug out to the second floor or something crazy like that. Its insane how many times this happens now. Or on day 2 when you are escaping and he's always in the doorway before van. He's inside wall there and just pops out.

He also hides in the block of bricks under the shack by the 2 broken down cars. Thats cloakers go to spot, you know he is there 90% of the time, but you cant shoot him because he is safely inside the bricks!

Happens a lot in other maps too both Host and Client side. Anyone else?

Yeah, mostly hosting games so can't be the usual excuse for lag etc.
The best time was when i was a host and a cloacker kicked me from basement on the 2nd floor of rats day 1...
tho not limited to cloackers, I have encountered in many maps recently any type of units just being inside walls and clip trough floors as well to a point that you can not hit them and they can gun you down/ taze you and kick you while being utterly invincible.

Cloaker in wall. Can shoot me. I cant shoot him. Here is a perfect example on Rats Day 1:

There's no leg or arm hitboxes, fun fact.

Is this going to be fixed? It's a little rediculous how much this happens now!

Never. Kinda like how the Cloaker's jumpkick goes through solid matter to get you will never be fixed.

That will require some actual coding skills and effort, so i guess yeah never...

It's 2015. For this to happen in a game is terrible. It really is bad and quite sad at how they cant fix or wont bother to attempt a fix.

For sure, but again, that would require skills, giving a ♥♥♥♥ and not using all their recources for moneygrabbing adware dlcs (wich are OK by me as long as the game is being fixed instead of broken and infested by bugs every single update).

Agreed

I am no programmer but it should be as something as easy as fixing the waypoints for the NPC's. If we cant go thru walls then the NPC's should not be able to either.

Or if its out of their skill level of ironing this bug out then at least add a perk in ghost tree to allow us pass trough walls, if you cant fix it, then break it to ludacris levels i say!

The cloaker in walls is just rampant in every map.

Overkill, are you even bothering looking into a fix on this? Why implement a unit when its this bugged! Still no word?

When you are in cloakers range, he's inside a structure, and can't see him there is nothing you can do but get auto-kicked. Thru floors, walls, ceilings, doesn't matter. You in his range, you go down. People do not realize this, go to help, they get kicked. Still no sign of cloaker.

It's quite annoying. Happens way too often.

Still this bug persists. All these maps of SS showing cloaker in walls. Yet, no acknowledgement from Overkill on a possible fix?

On the bright sight, what 5 extra DLCs rolled out since we raised this issue...
So clearly they are doing everything in their power to give a ♥♥♥♥, such as utterly ignoring even the existence of the bug, sorry not a bug, it's a "feature".

As long as people buy dlc's and support overkill software they wont care as long as they are making money.

This bug seems to be quite recent in my experiance. I haven't seen this before Update 70.

The DLC's are entirely optional. You don't need them for any part of the game, thanks to the fact that OVERKILL doesn't seem to be the kind of company that encourages DLC making to actually be able to play the game. Remember that this isn't a big company. They release fixes for this kind of stuff when they figure out how to do that. They know that these bugs chase away players (and buyers, if the reviews are more negative then positive).
