Indestructible spawn beacons?

**astrozombie** · 06-14-2007, 04:07 PM

Have a question, and btw this did not happen on TG. I was playing a Titan map and the other team had placed a Beacon on top of our Titan. I went to destroy it and ended up dumping two whole clips into it. It would not blow up. It was out in the open nothing in the way. I gave up on it and found another beacon and same result, I could not destroy it.

Later I switched to another server completely different players and same issue. I could not destroy an enemy beacon but this time it was on the ground and not the titan. Is this a new exploit, glitch, or ahem… feature?

sometimes when a beacon is placed on a titan it somehow "fuses" with the titan, so when your shooting at the beacon it registers it as the titan hull and thus will do no damage.

I've had it happen to me about 3 times on TG server, mostly on Carebere in bushes.

This seems to be a pretty know issue according to the EA boards that the spawn beacon on a titan is indestructable. Whether Dice will correct this in future patches is to be seen. You can always toss a ammo or health crate on the beacon which will render it un-usable until the crate dissapears but that is only temporary.

Thanks guys. I was unaware of what you have just explained. I did do the supply crate trick on the first beacon, but I was SOL on the second one I found.

You can make a scanner indestructable by sticking it to an APC wheel. It has a low chance of working though. I think it has to do with the difference in the physics model and the actual model you see. Probally the same forces at work in this case here.
