Indestructible Beacon?

[Salad Snake]

I was playing on warpigs titan server today when I saw a beacon lodged in my titan on the ramp thing between upper and lower decks. I took a couple pot shots with my clark, but it just kept on ticking. Some guy came down and shot me after.

So, for the next couple spawns I tryed everything from nades to RDX to try and take it out, nothing worked, so I just hunkered down to spawn kill the squad using the beacon.

I was wondering if this is common, and if it might be fixed in 1.40. (It ended pretty well for me, my SL got the gunship and he just hovered next to our titan while I mowed down 13 guys with the chaingun. Got podded in the end, but that got my K/D ratio for that round well into the positive)

i there's some kind of server setting that does it, either on purpose or as a side effect. there's certain servers where this happens with every beacon on the friendly titan, i don't know if it's related to FF on/off or what.

old bug, the beacon fuses with the titan or something

[dontsh000t]

well then it's destructible ain't it? just requires about 25 RDX packs or a lot of silo missiles =D

[Takon]

just put a pack or something on it, then it can't work.

no some parts of the titan the object can sink in

once it sinks in it is like part of the titan like that

It becomes one with the Titan lol. Wanna destroy the beacon? Destroy the Titan :p

The beacons wont blow up if you put them in the circular fans that are top of the titan too.

Don't they? Meh I've gotta play more titan :p

It only happens when FF is off... The beacon fuses with the titan, and then your gun considers it "Friendly" (cause the titan it is fused with is friendly). As has been said, drop an ammo hub on it :p You could lay prone on it as well, but I am sure you have better things to do.

I can just hear this conversation as someone stumbles across this scene:

"La, la-la-la.. wha? Hey, watcha doing down there?"

.........."I'm guarding the Titan from the enemy!"

"Ummm, okay. Why are you laying down to do that?"

.........."It keeps the spawnzors from podding onto the Titan!"

"ORLY? And, how many points do you get for that?

lollies... :yay:

[Salad Snake]

So only FF off servers, huh?

I'll keep that in mind, though I do hope it's one of the 1.4 fixes.

[5TAK3D]

Should be fixed in 1.4 supposedly.
