PC Cop Acid spit destroying blocks in one shot and continuing flight path to player.

Has anyone recently encountered a cop spitting through a brick block, several zombies and hitting you directly with the acid spit?  Since when was this changed?   I had another instance in the same POI (4 Ever Video) where the cop spit destroyed a line of blocks in one of the police station offices just to get to me.  (I was like about four or five blocks in total with one spit and it didn't stop it.)

If this was not the intention, then cop acid spit needs to be looked at. Otherwise, its an overpowered attack that would make me look for a mod to remove anything that spits.

This occured with the latest stable build A21.1 b16.

 
not supposed to be like that.

Did you pump up block damage in the game options, or anything else that "messes" with the damage numbers?

Also, any mods involved? (are there any installed, no matter that they apparently can't/shouldn't have any influence on this)

Did you start a new game, or use a savegame from a previous build?

I thought it was like a stream of vomit with multiple projectiles. Wouldn't it keep going if the first projectile destroyed the block?

 
I had similar/same incident. Something destroyed my electric posts that were behind steel wall.

I tried to replicate this with a demo. Demo blew up but did not destroy the electric post. It damaged the steel wall.

I tried to replicate this with cop spit. The spit did not destroy the electric post either. It damaged the steel wall.

I don't know how to make cop explode.

So... I don't know what happened.

Damage it till you hear a rapid heartbeat coming from it and then let it chase you to where you want it to blow up at. Will probably take a few attempts since the cop zombie will only rush at you for a few seconds before stopping and exploding.

Best part is they will take out other zombies when they explode.

 
I have noticed that recently, cop spit goes through objects that it once didn't.  I put up tiny bar around openings in my base just to block cop spit but I keep getting reamed with spit when I didn't before.  Yes, I know that if there is an opening, they can go through it or attack through it, but this used to stop cop spit.  Now they just do as they please.

 
Another problem with the cops is the line of sight. Apparently they can see you through half blocks or plates. If you don't use full blocks then they spit even though they shouldn't be able to see you.

 
I has assumed the over-tuned Cop Spit was related to the overly aggressive critical injury issue in experimental.  I don't see endless critical streaks in my current play through although cop spit has destroyed a few bookcases on me.

 
Cops have definitely been tweaked in some strange ways that my spouse and I have been pretty startled by, as well as Youtubers like Jawoodle and GLock 9. Cops are definitely spitting WAY more, they don't need line of sight to you anymore so they just rapid-fire vomit to your location, drilling through blocks on the way. Cops never used to spit at the rest of the base, now they will destroy blocks that aren't concrete in a hell of a hurry. I'm not a fan.

 
Cop spit doesn´t do as much damage anymore as in A21.0 i feel. At least not to myself.

Never had the issue of them randomly spitting if not in line of sight so far.

 
Working as intended.

All your bases will be nerfed.

If you keep defeating our zombies will will make them psychic and made of asbestos.

Next patch - "Guns shoot backwards and hurt you - this is a balancing option to increase challenge"

 
As per the other cop spit thread, I installed a wall of full size cube blocks behind the outer wall of the fighting position, and cop spit was significantly reduced during the last BMH.  It was almost like it used to be.

 
It's getting ridiculous. Radioactive cops have destroyed almost all my electric fences through steel half blocks. This splash effect goes through the half-blocks and damages or destroys what is behind them.

Yeah, I am getting pretty fed up with it too.
