How severe is your issue? Minor impact to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? Arc-stars and Fuse's tactical can bounce off of Rampart's A-Walls. (the orange glass part). I am sure this was not in the game prior to the patch.
What should be happening instead? The arcstar and the Knuckle Cluster should stick and damage the surface, instead it bounces off and could potentially hit you back.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Tested it in firing range with a friend and it is easy to replicate after placing an A-Wall and the Fuse throws the tactical on the glass part.

The video I attached doesnt have the portion of the arc-star testing but I have tested it and I think it can be replicated easily.

The first clip shows the tactical has bounced towards me. The second one, it bounces off to the far right far away from the Rampart. Finally, I am testing it with a friend in the firing range to show how it doesn't stick to Rampart walls and sticks to normal walls.

  • I believe that is by design. This happens with any shield in-game that looks similar. Happens with Gibraltar's shield, and his dome shield (if I'm not mistaken). Those are non-stickable surfaces

    @OoShellshock I played Fuse a lot in Arenas and went against Ramparts very often at the start of the season, I am very certain I would knuckle cluster the glass shield and it would do damage as the cluster is hitting. I am also very sure it doesn't bounce like this at least, as I almost got hit by my own cluster in the first clip.
  • @HypericSam Still an issue, and it seems to sometimes even occur when hitting the normal wall, not the glass shield portion. Literally trying to bomb a rampart that has high ground and not being able to sticky their wall is not fair at all.
