Executioner Stance should be able to see targeted enemies through pox gas

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Gameplay Feedback

Never quite got confirmation if not seeing tagged enemy through gas was a bug or feature, but considering that Executioner Stance is considered the Veterans weakest CA, I feel an exception should be made here to allow them to spot ES targets through any obscuring element.

Unless this is like, a “me thing” because sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. There’s probably a case to make that pox gas should allow tagging enemies through smoke regardless since that’s a good incentive to use the tag feature, and it works with fog and the like.

It was unintended, that was clear from dev comments. It’s just that “gas blocks vision stuff” makes just about enough sense to stop this becoming a priority. So far, at least.

I appreciate the clarification.

There’s a mod called Gas Outline which fixes this on PC.

Whether this is a helpful bugfix or dirty wallhax is a matter of perspective.

Wasn’t FS’s response a bit ambiguous? That infamous Lopus post ending with

As for the intended behavior of this the analysis that we went back and forth on it and didn’t clean up properly is probably a fair one

I’ll report this straight to the source of the weird behavior and try to get it sorted.

Even that tiny little drive-by 20 vote poll was 80/20 in favor of posting “fix”, then ofc discussion here.

The debate sounds like it took place after the interaction with the new gas was noticed. My impression is unintended interaction but they haven’t decided if they like it better like this.

I swear there must be something in the water there:
Us: Hey FS, is this ice cream OR pizza?
FS: Yes
Us: OK, let me rephrase, is this ice cream XOR pizza?
FS: yes
