Guardians on blue lane can be damaged from off angles, where they can't hit the player.

[Shaerow]

Hi,

I've found two angles on blue lane, from which the players can safely damage the guardian without it being able to shoot back.

The first angle is on the overhang above blue guardians' curiosity shop.
It works on most of the heroes as far as I can tell, namely Lash, Drifter, Warden, Doorman, Holiday, Infernus, Bebop, Ivy, etc. You either have to stand or crouch (varies from hero to hero) to find the specific angle. You know you've found the angle, once the guardian starts to shift in and out of combat stance but you won't take any damage.



The second angle is located behind the guardian in the 'MILDRED VISIONS' store. This one works for every hero, and once you find the right angle, the same results can be expected.



I've provided images to showcase the angles in question.

Did some looking, took some videos. Turns out there are a lot of angles like this!

"Angle" is definitely the right word for it btw. Most of them have some leeway for moving forward/backwards.

Here are some more blue ones.

That last one is real easy to line up with the boxes.

Here's every hero. Hitbox differences don't seem to matter.

It's also not just this one Blue guardian. Here are several others I found. Pause and check map to see where these are.

That last one is bugged for a very large area making it especially easy to do. Slightly easier if you're playing Arch Mother though.
