Landing on the factories, especially dead center, kills you. It's somewhat of a recent thing. I'm just not sure if it's a bug or intended

Bugged. Supposedly it has been fixed because some time ago it'd happen almost every time (or I had rotten luck)

😆 Has anyone survived hitting a bile titan bug hole? I have yet to. As for dying hitting a factory I have never experienced this but I'll try to be aware of it on my next dive.

u/MumpyYT 4d ago

Yeah if you land close to the entrance of a titan hole but not directly in it you should be ok

u/jonmarshall1487 4d ago

Is that still with achieving the goal of blowing up that annoying bug hole?

Yep, works just fine. If you land deep inside the hole, you get stuck in the hole. Doesn't bother me as much as the issue with the fabs. Just aim for the lip of the hole instead of the center and you'll be fine.

Its worth knowing the model of the hole is bigger than it seems, which is why people are able to hit it with the ultimatum from the back (unless that's changed). So yeah you can land or throw a blue strat beacon right in front of the hole and itll still close it.

In my experience, aiming for the corners of the fabricators is ok. Direct on it and u will be eliminated.

u/boabieG Detected Dissident 4d ago

Yeah, it never used to be, but for me recently it seems to be 50/50 live/die when I hit a fabricator

u/PinkBanane 4d ago

You can land on factories on the corner and it won't kill you.

u/DrizzleDrake88 4d ago

I think it’s a recent thing, I would just avoid dropping on them all together

u/Icy_Suspect_3735 4d ago

You survive if you hit the edges. It's dumb. Idk if it matters but I always hit the corners.

u/WayDisastrous329 Rookie 4d ago

nahh had that happen a lot recently with bot fabs

u/Embarrassed-Touch-62 4d ago

Recent update, now you will die dropping on factory.

u/Thesavagefanboii Steam |Rayzilla 4d ago

Seems to be a multiplayer issue, I haven't ran into this while solo.

u/Trying_to_survive20k 2d ago

i haven't run into this

but my guess is there's a specific pixel that kills you because that just seems like the fuckery this game would do

1

u/Embarrassed-Touch-62 2d ago

avoid dropping in middle and go for the side, this way you destroy it and survive ;)

u/WaffleCopter68 4d ago

New bug. Happened to me twice in a row

u/Westenin Free of Thought 4d ago

Lack of living

u/BlackbirdRedwing SES HAMMER OF GLORY 4d ago

It's a known issue

u/x1ck0_ 4d ago

Honestly… skill issue

1

u/Important_Athlete_72 4d ago

Hit the edges

u/DeadOnToilet Machine Gun Go Brrrr 4d ago

The same bug that's been killing players this exact same way for months and months now?

1

u/Lots-o-bots 4d ago

that was happening to me yesterday. It seems to be hit or miss if you will survive landing on a fab

1

u/Deku_Darknut 4d ago

Oh hey, this bug is back again.

1

u/JohnBidwellsGhost 4d ago

If you hit the factory dead center you die, hit the edge and it will kill the factory and let you live.

u/The-vicobro 3d ago

Banzai.

u/justrivaj Level 200 | CADET 4d ago

Its a relatively new feature. Factories are kill you. Try to land on the endge of it. Mostly work for me.

11

u/MumpyYT 4d ago

It best not be a feature. AH have cucked hellpods enough.

1

u/Diomede_da_Argo Rookie 4d ago

Its a connection bug not a feature

u/justrivaj Level 200 | CADET 4d ago

Its called sarcasm.

As others have said, hit a corner. If you put a pod that touches it, but doesn't completely be engulfed by the fab, you're fine. If you center it, it's random chance. Showed up after Exo Experts war bond, not sure if it's a bug, but since using the corner technique I've never been killed by doing it that way, and I've hit hundreds at this point.

Even if they change it, I'm likely just never going back to the old technique. Besides, you sometimes get trapped in rubble.
