There is a very strange and curious bug with some Projectiles + being in a certain specific spot

[Playeroth]

i have seen users report bug with Haze dagger completely ignoring the enemy, as if it had no collision. But i thought it was something else. Upon seeing this happen to an user that was playing as Grey Talon and tried to use the Charged Shot, it completely miss the character. Quite strange.. So i went to investigate

Below few testings of this.

you have to be in a certain spot and it will completely miss the character. The clip shows multiple tries in different positions and rotations.

below shows that its not only Charged Shot vs Yamato, its any character and some Projectile (Viscous alternative shot will work, for example).

Below shows its not specific to the middle or closer to middle of the map, its any area of the map but you must find the spot (although some spots might not cause this issue at all)

cool finding !

Maybe its because of the player model being offset with the camera center? Whatever the underlying reason, nice find!

Maybe this helps Valve narrow down this secret debuff Talon and Haze suffer from.

HOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Before, I only saw the first video and thought, "What the fuuu--?"

Seeing all of these clips, and all the misses with the various abilities--consistent misses too. . . holy !@#$ing !@#$.

That is some rigorous testing; thank you for doing the work and sharing. This shit is honestly game breaking; more players need to be aware of this.

Once again, thank you for bringing this to light!

Great find, great post.

I see this happening a lot with yamato alt fire. projectile disappear when it hits them but no damage

The consistent thing in all of those clips is that there is something behind the player causing the camera to be pushed forward, seems inconsistent but in before its causing some weird offset of the projectile to its visual graphic.

Really weird but it explains so damn much, great find!

Happens to me often with Shiv with close range knifes. It misses even though the knife model goes through the enemy.
