    Do them shooting back at the shooter intentional or a bug? Surely at some angles the shots would just deflect instead of bouncing directly back at the shooter. I haven’t played the new patch yet so I don’t know

      That’s according to regular physics. The super citizens at Arrowhead have discovered the more Democratic super physics, which all helldiver equipment follows.

        Of course! How could I have forgotten about super physics!™

        I will be submitting myself to a re-education camp immediately!

      Mathematically speaking, while the chance that a ricochet would reverse course directly along its original trajectory to its source is technically not 0, all other variables involved would have to be so minutely precise as to hint at a deliberately staged environment… Oh, wait. 🤦🏽‍♂️ Yeah, that tracks. 🫠☠️

      It was intentionally added in the patch yesterday. I don’t think the devs thought this one through very much because it feels really awkward.

      Shots that ricochet from heavy armored enemies will now properly hit the Helldiver who fired them. Trigger discipline is highly recommended.
