Premature Rocket Explosions

[Kebtiz]

I have been using the Angstrum for quite a while now, but I put it down for a while and didn't start using it again until yesterday.  I was leveling my Ogris and started noticing rockets exploding long before they made it to any (visible) solid object.  After a few related self frags I switched over to Angstrum to see if it was having similar issues, and much to my dismay it was happening much more frequently with the Angstrum, often rockets exploding before I could even see the projectiles leaving the barrel.

 

In a room that I was the host of I had 4 shots (uncharged single ammo shots) explode right as they fired, and another couple exploded before they reached their targets.  The frequency at which I am having this issue is much higher with the Angstrum, so my most likely culprit is multishot (180% vs 90%).

 

Has anyone else been noticing this lately?

Premature exploding. Don't they have medicine for that?

yeah. enemies shooting you can blow up your rockets in mid-flight. So its very important to keep moving when firing those guns.

i had noticed it ... but it was an teammate Angstrum. his single shot exploded ~2m in front of the target.

 

imo its an art/animation bug.

It wasn't crossfire, my allies were meleeing and the enemy was infested.

 

The before target ones aren't the main issue though, it is the ones that blow up out of the barrel and are guaranteed to kill me.

I think that projectiles can be shot down.
