SMG doesn't shoot from point blank range

Post by Szunti » 29 Nov 2016, 10:50

Bug Description: I had a fully loaded SMG in my hand with harm intent clicked a couple of times on the drone next to me who was trying to disarm me and nothing happened.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use SMG.
2. Click on alien who is next to you.

Harm intent. Try it.

It's not a bug but rather a simple "Need-to-know" of the mechanics.
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

Weird, have you tried it on yourself? It could simply just be lag.

Could be lag, I don't know. But I don't think it was the first time point blank failed me. And the drone kept disarming me.

Just lag, and you getting disarmed before the point blank procs. Resolved.
