See through smoke, and invisible mirage?

So, I was playing a round as caustic and i had barraged a door with traps. They went off everything was smoked and it was impossible to see through. Still the enemy on the outside shot me like it was...

@Uit_de_sloot Were you moving in the room? Sometimes I shoot into the smoke and if I get a hit I keep spraying and praying.

@hayhor This happened between the cascades and the Artillery range. One trap on each side of the doors from the inside at the outlook platform. Made the opponent threw a grenade breaking the doors, while me standing on the left side of the room approaching to see if someone would get affected by the smoke but nothing showed up. All of the sudden a got shot from the outside. It just felt very suspicious and started to look into this and found this clip on youtube describing this setting that can be used to remove the effects. Smoke, lightning between wattsons fence,etc. which results in you not seeing any of those effects. They are just not there.

Spraying and praying is of course one thing, but this didnt feel like someone that did that. This was to direct hitting.

Would just be nice to have verification that this setting has been locked or not.

    I think they disabled it a long time ago and you can't change in-game files but i might be wrong.
    Btw i just reported a cheeto on Pc xD
    Aim was snapping to targets!

    @Uit_de_sloot 

    Do you play on Pc or Console?

      @SpyrosFPS I play on PC. Never have been able to play an FPS properly with a controller. Prefer old fashioned Mouse and Keyboard.

    @Uit_de_sloot I looked it up, and I see what you mean. It seems like it's possible that they're doing that.

    The glitch also seems to be a trade-off. since if you can't see thermites and gas, you could walk straight into them
