I believe there is something wrong with the trophy system. I'm noticing that it isn't destroying grenades like it should. I find myself getting killed by grenades landing right next to it quite frequently. Here's a video.https://youtu.be/XgLfwj-WNmcI thought it may have been the smoke but I've put one down in smoke before and it destroyed grenades still.

@DigitalHype I had that happen exactly as you described last night. Irish shield was set and destroying grenades as per usual. I watched one bounce off a rock and slide on the ground right to my feet as I crouched behind the trophy. Boom. Took out me and the aps. Oops. If we could purposely throw a grenade underhand so that it slid on the ground like a bowling ball, the shield system would be useless.

@ZRuff46 You looked to be in front of the shield, and between a box and wall so perfectly placed to take all of the blast. The grenade didn’t go past the shield, it fell in front just as you were in front. I’ve heard of grenades not properly being destroyed by shields but this isn’t a good example of that. This is an example of you being in front of it.

@ZRuff46 Keep in mind with 2042 netcoding, desync etc, where you think the grenade was might not have been the actual location. I get you’re going to believe what you believe, and we all know that internet conversations result in people changing their opinions right? Lol. If nothing else I can agree with your frustration with the game and its inconsistencies.

@ATFGunr I agree with this.From that video, it would appear that the grenade that killed you did not pass over the sentinels 'sphere of influence' and therefore did not get destroyed.I have Irish at T1 by the way and is my most used character......

@ZRuff46The radius is a very small 3m. And it has to be in the air and within those 3m. If it hits the ground and then bounces to within 3m, the trophy system will not destroy the grenade on the ground. I think that is what happened here. The grenade came over those metal crates you were using for cover and landed outside of the range of the trophy, then bounced and rolled right under it and detonated. ☹️

Issue with Irishs trophy system? Video proof

@ATFGunr I'm not questioning whether I was in the blast radius... I'm questioning the fact the trophy system should have destroyed the grenade, which it did not. I'm not sure what you are talking about. You clearly didn't pay attention to the video or understand how Irish works

I placed the trophy system to my left. The Grenade was thrown on my left side and when I turned it was laying next to the trophy system. The Grenade was thrown from behind the tank that's covered. That Grenade should have been destroyed by the trophy system. No it's, ands or buts. This is just one of dozens of times I've had this happen to me over the past week or two

@ZRuff46Right man, I must not have over 900 hours playing the game or have eyes that can see the grenade does not go over the shield which would cause it’s destruction, rather it came off the wall and landed at the edge of the tripod supporting the shield. I must not have Irish at T2 or know anything about the game at all. I am so sorry that I misunderstood your obvious above average intelligence and amazing gaming skills. I bow down to your superior intellect and experience that clearly leaves no room for debate. Good luck with your future endeavours.

@ATFGunr There is literally no reason that Grenade should not have been destroyed. If the Grenade comes within a certain distance from the trophy system, it gets destroyed. This is no different. I'm not sure what you trying to tell me but this is a clear example of it not working how it's intended

@ATFGunr So are you saying that it won't destroy the grenade if it's too low? I mean I've seen several grenades get destroyed that were skipping across the ground. Plus even then the grenade was thrown over that box which is taller than the trophy system so technically it should have still been destroyed. Obviously in my video, you can't see the exact path the grenade travel but you can tell it went over that box. I just want dice to take a look at it

@DigitalHype But look at the video again. That's not what happen. It most likely would have bounced off the crates or the wall and landed right at the feet of the trophy system. It would have been higher than the trophy system at one point which would have been within range. That trophy system is to close to that box for it to have been out of range.
