Aliens can see cloaked preds

Post by Mitchs98 » 02 Oct 2015, 12:32

Bug Description: Per the title, let me explain. I know everyone can see preds to an extent if they pay attention/have decent eyesight. But aliens can see cloaked preds fully if they go behind objects, which kinda defeats the purpose of cloak.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Cloak as Predator.
2. Be stealthy ninja stalking prey around the map hiding behind solid objects.
3. Get lol ambushed by a horde the alien called over due to being able to magically see you/alien notices you and runs off never to be seen again until they are T3.

Cloaking Device: Light-bending adaptive camouflage allowing Predators a form of invisibility, or at least translucence, rendering them incredibly difficult to spot. The invisibility effect has been known to be shorted out through contact with water or if the arm gauntlet is damaged, and it is susceptible to the effects of an electro-magnetic pulse, at least temporarily. The effects of the device have also been known to fail as a result of direct assaults on the Predator's body, be it with ranged weaponry or physical attacks. This device is rendered useless during Xenomorph Hunts owing to the Xenomorph's ability to "see" through its cloaking effects.
And that was from the wiki!
George S.Patton once said:No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making some other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

I don't like cute things.

Good hunting.

Not a bug
Xenos smell PHEROMONES,cloaks cant deflect your natural scent
And its light bending,not Invisiblity,it simply lets you blend in with the environment

This is a confusing bug report. What do you mean by "hiding behind solid objects" exactly?

Walking behind a wall or a solid object. Normally, if I'm in the open, I'm completely invisbru to everything shy of people with good vision. If I walk behind a wall, the Xenonerd can see me ezpz.
