What the hell is wrong with locusts at the moment?!? They can literally shoot through anything… Walls mountains, cliff edges… Doesn’t matter they will destroy your base through it. This is ridiculous.
I totally agree mate, need to be fixed pronto…
Locusts are perfectly balanced at the moment. Nothing to fix.

Don’t need to say much more than this. If Locusts are still a problem you just need to sharpen your skills.

This. They are fragile as can be, I think they are in a good spot.

Agreed.
Certain passives, buffs, and shipmasters make them much harder to handle; but as they are, they’re OK.

Oh no not this again… Bruh they are fine. Don’t start this up again.
Hey now, here we go again…
Locus are fine. You should scout more

Can they shoot through the wall next to your base on Frontier?

Mate you’ve misunderstood me, I’m not saying they are OP or anything I’m saying there is a bug with them that is allowing them to shoot through walls and cliff edges, they are hitting bases from places they shouldn’t, I think it’s the highway map, the one that has 4 bases in the middle with the walls around it. I watched a locust walk past the walls shooting my base through them. I think locusts are in a perfect place damage/health wise but there is a glitch with them at the moment that is breaking them if you know how to exploit it
They shred bases yeah, but if you have an army of basically anything you’ll win, they aren’t very effective against other units unless they have Decimus’s siphon or some other leader power that buff them they can’t do much to an army.
EDIT
They shouldn’t be able to shoot through walls, that should be patched.
Bro, do you even scout?
I agree they shouldn’t be able to shoot through walls

OP is complaining about a perceived glitch, not balance.

It’s a joke haha
Their defenses make them weaker than a handicapped grandma. That’s how they are balanced. If they show up near one of your bases, then it’s your own fault for not scouting enough or having forces nearby to block routes.
Sometimes these forums need to learn how to read. I think he just wants the ability of them to clip through walls to be patched. I understand their a mining siege vehicle but not even the Locust in Halo Wars 1 did that.
The game’s engine is coded to ignore terrain when rendering projectiles, because if it did, then the sheer amount of microing that would be needed to give your units not only a clear sight but also a clear shot, is way too much for your average console players’ potato fingers. This is the same reason that all units are granted fire-on-the-move ability even for units that are physically incapable of it (e.g. the chopper), and that units move at the same speed regardless if going forward or backward or even sideways.
I feel like a lot of you guys are misunderstanding me, I’m not calling OP and I’m not referring to small clips through edges of things, I’m referring to them shooting through walls or through cliff faces, things they should not be able to shoot through. It has only become an issue as of last patch.
