Category: Gameplay

Platform: PC

Issue Title: Shot Though Prison Cell

Issue Description: I moved from the square where the cursor is, which was "hidden" to the spot in front of the laser door and was shot. Not sure I should have been hidden against a see through wall, but shouldn't the glass have been bullet proof?

Steps to Reproduce: Moved from the corner to in front of the laser door.

You said you "moved", and that spot is being watched, of course you are going to get shot, I'm not quite catching your problem here.

 

The problem is a catch-22 situation. If the spot I was standing in was hidden (even though you can see through the cell walls) then why is the next spot over not hidden as well?

 

If Internacionale's origin point was not actually supposed to be hidden then why hadn't I been shot already? There is clearly no place hidden out in the middle of the room where I was. If the cell walls don't block enemy bullets then the first guard (who is one square inside of the room) would have shot me through the door frame from the room where the second guard is standing.

I would consider this a bug in the sense that it is likely just an overlooked detail.

 

It is not unrealistic to assume that guards cannot shoot through walls, even if they can see through them. The guard did act completely as expected based on what we know and love about guards,  however, he shot through a "wall". The situation of see through walls (i.e glass prison cells) might be unique just to detention levels (I cannot think of other instances at the moment) and it is very likely that this scenario was just overlooked. 

 

Realistically I would say that your average prison cells have bullet proof glass and this shouldn't happen. Whether a prison cell should or shouldn't have bullet proof glass is of course subjective and at the very least this warrants a comment from Klei.. If it is working as intended than I guess you just live and learn. If not they have some minor tweaking to do to the game. I think you were right in bringing this to their attention.

I've had a similar situation where a big piece of cover is in between me and the guard. When I move one space further that is not hidden I get caught(and shot right away due to overwatch bug), even though visually there's a big piece of cover in between us.
