Seriously bushes block shots?

[Jordan_Peterson]

I noticed that when aiming at enemies and just the tiniest straw of one of those small bushes is between you they totally block every shot, its like an invisible wall.
Is that really been there since day1 or a recent bug?
Its super annoying ant totally useless.

yup, bushes block your bullets, but not the enemy missiles it seems.

Were you using the Sickle?
I see it with energy weapons but not with projectile weapons. Energy weapons should set the bushes on fire that would be neat.

Depends. It also might block other projectiles. Basically any weapon even explosives can be blocked.
Somtes they also just go "stasis". Meaning that the projectiles seem to enter the bush and be slowed, but once pass a threshold, move at normal speed again.

My assumption is, that the slow down effect that applies on Helldivers, somehow also applies to projectiles.
Dont make the mistake shooting with stuff like EAT or Qasar "through" it. You wont.

Saw it with Diligence and Devastator, but it seems more that their bullets have some funky collision, getting stopped by concrete barriers, crates and rocks alike when it seems like clear shot.
