General grievous doesnt block blaster shots in some parts of his body

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug If you shot Grievous when his is blocking or using unrelenting advance in his edge of his head,at the edge of his arms/shoulders or at the edge of his legs he will take damage.
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? zaloufis

What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) Since Grievous released
In what game mode did the bug occur? Heroes vs. Villains
What is your time zone? EET (ART) - GMT + 2:00
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? In heroes vs villains in the light side team take a hero with blaster such as Han or Lando and when Grievous is blocking or using unrelenting advance shot him at the edge of his head,arms/shoulders or at the edge of his legs and he will take damage or you can also try this in splitscreen with the 1 player having Han or Lando and the other one having Grievous and Grivous must block or use unrelenting advance and Han or Lando shoot him at these parts of his body.
What happens when the bug occurs? General Grievous takes damage when blocking or using unrelenting advance.
What do you expect to see? Grievous should block all blaster shots in his whole body from the front of him.
Please select your region Europe
AMD or Nvidia Model Number None

This is a serious bug that has been from the launch of Grievous and t is unfair for that player because many players know that bug and shot Grievous at these parts.

    Hey @tztheo1967 

    Thank you for reporting this! I will forward this to our specialist. Hopefully Grievous' hitbox can be adjusted.

  • I thought this was intentional.  Me and my friends thought it made an awful lot more sense than being able to block all body parts even if light saber wasn't covering the part we aimed at.

    Since I'm unsure myself how it's suppose to work, it's better to ask the developers themselves anyway 😉

    I thought so too, that's why I've never reported it, and started to play in a different style instead.

    I also theorised that since Grievous is not a Force user, he's not so capable in blocking incoming fire.

    Anyhow, I look forward to the official answer on this one.

  • Hi @felker_s I mean that its like he dont use his block or unrelenting advance at these parts of his body he doesnt even try to block the blaster shots at these parts of his body.

    I think he should still block blaster shots, just deflect them less accurately. He has a pretty low blocking stamina after all...

    Also, Unrelenting Advance is supposed to block and deflect all frontal attacks except force powers, explosions and explosive shot damage. But right now it's broken and even normal blaster fire goes through:
