Thank you Catfish and FS devs for changing the tag for this to “Acknowledged” :)) I’m very happy to know that this is on your radar.

Wait, what? I thought sniper shot through anything, aka unblockable, even ogryn shield cannot block it.
Is there any changes in the recent patch?

Nope it’s always been this way. :slight_smile:

Now hopefully the devs will adjust the interaction between Deflector and Kinetic Deflection against snipers.

I’ve seen that bug report and the problem was not pointing to the actual issue which is that Kinetic Deflection disables this functionality against snipers.

You CAN block snipers without kinetic deflection.
The fact this functionality exists shows that Kinetic Deflection is the source of the issue.

Says the person who reported it.
It clearly says he is also using kinetic deflection.

And the dev clearly says it ignore blocks.

Then again, if u can block it without kinetic deflection, maybe the block is the bug.

And which part of the sentence that says you can block snipers?

Ah but look at the difference in my report versus theirs. Mine has been tagged as “Acknowledged” because I pointed out that you CAN block a sniper when you don’t use Kinetic Deflection. :slight_smile:
