GLITCH: Looking Through Walls (PS5)

Recommended Posts

My experiences are on the PS5.

Referred to as x-ray? Whitewalling? I think.

More of a warning to players who don't know this is happening.

Be wary of fighting PVP sweats in towns and military bases. I'm regularly encountering players who are camping in particular buildings/behind walls which offer the advantage of being able to see through the walls.

The L shape military barracks is one of them. The barn with the sliding doors and the three wooden levels inside is another. Corrugated metal perimeter fences. These are the favourites I've noticed that seem to offer the most advantages. There are more, including a few residential buildings.

Look out for gun barrels poking through the walls.

Gas grenades are the best counter I've found, (thanks for adding them) or just run away and leave them to it.

It seems to be getting almost normalised in its regularity. Conversations with these players tend to amount to 'everyone does it' with very little regard for fair play.

Good luck out there.

Has this issue been addressed in 1.19 at all?

PS5 official is horrific right now.

It’s also very bad on Xbox. Brena in server 8201 is so bad with it. I have a clip saved of myself in a wooden building across from the Sobotka bridge sitting in the room with no windows and the door closed and you can hear the guy on top of the roof (by hopping onto the white object on the side of the building then jumping and pulling yourself onto the roof) crawling around and rolling then bam a gun barrel clips through the roof and they shoot right next to me and miss but then his next shot kills me. Almost makes the game unplayable with how much time it takes to gear up and move around the map to die to exploits like this. 😞

On PC, we went through that phase for YEARS.  You console guys are back in time probably circa 2016-2018 era.  So, from the future, all I gotta say is good luck, it's a bumpy ride.

So this isn't a problem on PC? It's not possible to do?

Not sure to which extent, but it is. I've occasionally phased my head through walls when crouching around.

But that's not what he is talking about.  The big problem is when you first log in on console, many times you can see through walls for several seconds because the server is lagged to shit, most of the official console servers are absolute garbage spec wise and over provisioned.  I bet quite a few of them use spinning disks rather than SSD's, but they are pretty much garbage and so the game takes forever to load everything in and you can watch people moving around and call out their locations to your buddies simply by logging out and logging back in.

The other is you can either lay or stand a certain way against a wall and push your weapon through and kill someone on the other side of the wall.  This was fixed on PC.

I think shooting through the wall has been fixed, I've not seen that for a while now.

I'm not talkng about the logging in seeing through the wall, as annoying as that it.

I'm talking about the other method you can do on demand, that DefectiveWarrior seems to allude to.
