Thank you for the response. I didn’t want to assume anything in a game I’m new to. It is an issue that I imagine is not an easy fix to eliminate but as I said, since it happens so often I didn’t know if it is intended. I’ve been stabbed by a Hunter through the concrete roof of a revetment bunker and that surprised me but I I’ll just assume that it isn’t supposed to happen, but does and move on with my day. Not much point in worrying about something that is a known issue without a resolution.
It’s an unfortunate bug in the game but honestly I wonder how hard the devs are trying to fix it, considering it forces the player to adapt their playstyle and not cower in fear indoors. I’m ok with that but I could see how others might not be…
I run into barns, close all the doors and then open one. Set a few trips wires with shock ammo and reset the trips every time a hunter or runner try to look inside. If the pile of machines gets to large, I open another door and start over. I have used the 9MM SMG exploding ammo for “traps” too.
Ticks and runners will come into open doors and even climb the stairs.
I have started a new game with Landfall update (xbox) and have played maybe 50 hours or so and interestingly not one machine has morphed in any house or barn. pretty nice…
I like when they do. I don’t mind if I kick the bucket, but I rarely do. Most times I can easily escape of kill the machine. This lynx was trying to saw me in Half.
Personally, the only times it really bothers me is when im in a single level barn where it’s hard to escape. I also frequently use the .44 magnum, so although it’s powerful if you have 6 dogs in a barn, it gets very frustrating because if you miss, your donefore.
