Way back when Destiny first launched, the perk known as "armor piercing rounds" did much more than allow bullets to travel through enemies. It would also allow players to shoot through thin objects.
To me, that added to the game. Now its a mechanic in the game thats just completely unused..
Anyone have an awesome kill through a wall back in the day?

1 ReplyIt's still a thing, it's penetration rating is just now really low. The bulk of cover and walls in this game are actually pretty damn thick. I do remember though getting a headshot through the glass in that one moon map no longer available in matchmaking. Through the windows where the B flag was. It was quite satisfying.
-
If by thin objects you mean 12 foot thick partitions in crucible. Yeah, glad that was finally addressed.

1 ReplyEveryone knows how awful that was in the twilight gap map.

Had a great game on patheon once. Those stone corners were like butter to my LDR.

People still do from what I have seen...

Still remember my team mate sniping the sword bearer through the rock in CE
-
We kept getting shot through rocks yesterday in trials. Ruined our flawless run.

Twilight gap, B capture enemy standing behind the grates. Inb4 my supremacy armour piercing round through the gate and into the poor guys skull lol
-
Yeah... In fact I remember the vendor LDR coming with unflinching, ambush and AP rounds. Kinda what brought the LDR to both fame and infamy.
-
Still get it in ToO lag switching
-
you kiddin me? people still shoot through walls.
-
haha ya in twilight gap you could stand on the rail way and pick people that were capping by looking through that grating while they couldn't hit you back.
-
The phogoth cheese haha. Still works but not as easy as APR.

1 Reply[u]THIN[/u] objects? I remember shooting through a 6 inch thick solid metal wall with an APR sniper. Now I can't even shoot through a chain link fence...

Kept three ldrs because of this

I still get shot in PVP by impossible shots all the time even by guns without AP. I was guessing it was just my guns were broken and wouldn't do it anymore or there is some crazy bullet slinging lag going on. Wait what that guy just shot me and killed me through the building and the floor with a thorn? How? That kind of stuff all the time and it seems to be getting worse.
-
My buddy would send me videos of his stupid kills every day... Could literally kill through mountains.
-
3 RepliesTbh I think they should bring it back would help a lot in trials
-
Still happens all the time. I'll get shot through wall. From sniper and thorn
-
2 RepliesI still get shot through walls in PvP. Happens all the time. Unless the recent 2.0 nerf did something different im still sure you can with APRs
-
Phogotov got most of the bullets during Nightfalls :)
-
I've got a couple neat wallbang clips floating around.
-
I remember it every day. Still happens. The lag is real :)
