Electromagnetic rifle (sniper shot)
« on: January 03, 2011, 09:53:27 pm »
Hello dear developers!
I catch a bug with electromagnetic rifle. In many cases (approx.50%) with sniper shot from this rifle, my soldier make auto shot (3x shots), but spent only 1bullet for that.

Maybe just a visual? I often notice two trails from the regular sniper rifle on a miss. Or is it indeed blasting thrice (i.e., first one downing an alien, two next going through further)?

Exactly! one from 3 shots can put to the aim, it can be first, at can be third. But i choose sniper shot and lost only one bullet for that.
I catch it only with this rifle. Other weapons still doesn't repeat this effect.
This is not permanent situation with electromagnetic rifle but happening very often.

I just thought of a way to check for sure if it is just visual or not.
On some city map, forgot which, village commercial IIRC, there's a two-story building with glass wall panels on both floors on one side that usually holds 2-3 aliens. Can check there, if it would hit the glass then the alien.
