Remove the bouncing

[Reinhardt Von Helbrecht]

Remove the bouncing issue for anything called in whether it’s support weapons, strikes, or turrets. Too many times, I try to place a turret in a specific location, but the game says "nope" and bounces it into an unusable spot, wasting the strategem. It’s so frustrating! I don’t care what surface it’s on; if I want a turret on top of a mountain, it should deploy there, not get rejected. The game allows placement almost everywhere except the one specific spot I need, and it’s maddening. This is the only thing I truly hate about the game. It’s the one issue that raises my blood pressure everything else I can deal with, but this drives me crazy!

Funny read.
Considering that according to Nexusmods some people want bouncy stuff to get their blood pressure up.

Yes

But also if you use shied pack, and like, throw the ball up and catch it with the shield, then drop the shield next to the spot it normally bounced, the hellpod sure won't, and it tracks the position of the beam on the shield so you can put it somewhere nifty

It needs to be very obvious what terrain a strategem will bounce off tbh. Right now its luck. You're never sure wheter the ball will stick. TBH, what is the aim of making these balls bounce? Just make the strategem stick to whatever surface it hits. SImples.

Nothing more sad when you're like 'OH YEAH THIS IS GONNA BE PERFECT" and you're pumped for that sweet, sweet pile of kills and the stratagem bounces in a way like the developers are mocking you.

Absolutely agreed. I had pretty much this exact conversation with a friend last night. After trying and failing to place a turret on the wall of an Extract Essential Assets mission, I was about at the end of my tether. Strategem balls should not bounce. Ever. Not off of terrain, not off of enemies, not off of anything. It's already hard enough to place them precisely with the high arc, we don't need the game trolling us on top of it. "Oh, you threw your Strategem perfectly? Psyche! No you didn't! Ha-ha!"

Or at the very least, let me drop the ball at my feet without pitching it at full force. The game limits my view depression so I can't look straight down. Why not let me deploy a Strategem right where I'm standing?
