Remove the attachment, there's no in-game toggle.

Ah bugger, surprised that isn't a thing. I had one on Jagers shottie and was sort of aiming it at the floor while sneaking around.

Loving this game, it's the worst best game ever.

Lasers only serve to give away your position, maybe use them on a shieldguy but otherwise never ever.

Yeah I was thinking about using them on Blitz because I am loving crap at aiming his pistol.

Mind you I am loving crap at Blitz & the game so I'm not sure it matters much. Should get playing with some goons soon. I like how active the thread is.

They're useful on 3 armor dudes that are loud as poo poo anyways as well (GIGN/Spetsnaz). I generally stick it on my pistols for Blackbeard/Valk because if I'm switching to the Deagle I'm screwed as it is and having the laser won't mean much.

Also a good idea because hipfiring the deagle is the only way to see anything / make follow-up shots

Is triggering Kapkan traps on a barricaded door by meleeing the barricade meant to be triggering the trap, or did the hit detection just get a lot more finnicky with the ability to place them at any height?

I think an elbow going through the actual laser will set it off, good incentive to stick it at melee height maybe?

I'm 99% sure that it was not that the laser was meleed but that the player walked right up to the barricade and clipped through enough to set it off. The barricade gets booped and then blitz scooches in closer.

Not sure if it was always the case but pre patch with the height limitation and the fuckoff red screw you probably saw less people meleeing it.

I believe you have to actually blow out the window entirely for that to work (3 shots). It's very useful on the front airstairs so your team can attack people in the hallway as well.

Definitely not the case because I remember meleeing barricades, vaulting through them after two hits, and blowing up.

The laser was at ankle height before, so you weren't meleeing through the laser, unlike now where it can be placed at melee height.

Played Plane three times last night, managed to get a headshot because the window on the front airstairs was blown out. Doing so allows you to peek the front room through the window and as Blackbeard they have literally zero chance of killing you through it.

I know. The question was whether it happened before you could place the laser at melee height.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you do. Either way, it's still bad design, it makes any spawn near windows a total shitshow.

It would be good if you could actually destroy the lights rather than just making them flicker, when you shoot them - like what you can do in Splinter Cell. I think it could be quite interesting, particularly on night-time maps.
