Primary fire of grenades collide with liquid room FX surfaces
Primary fire on grenades is supposed to bounce off liquid room surfaces - this is definitely a feature rather than a bug. Though, they probably should only bounce when fired from above the water and pass through with no bounce when fired from under the water.
Because it's a feature doesn't make it any less dumb and out of place. To me the fact that it's intended is worse because it shows Volition's oversight that this "feature" could become a potential issue in which it has. Something like this you'd expect to be a naturally occurring bug during development, not something intentional by the developers which were on a time crunch and didn't have the time to decide whether or not this "feature" was actually a good idea. Because it's intended isn't any less of a reason to remove the crap at all.
I can confirm that it is a "feature". Code explicitly enables collisions for grenades only and only if it is not the alternate mode where grenade detonates on collision. But I must agree it is unexpected behavior and not very realistic. Remote charge and grenade with RMB does not bounce so it is not very consistent. I made a poll to see what people think https://discord.com/channels/416631942738346008/424009397769863190/976252168413798460
Whats the status on this? There doesn't need to be a poll to conclude this is a horrible feature.
