So What's the Trick to Shooting Through Walls?

Games Halo Infinite
1

I’m still confused about the logic here, because everyone says everyone does it, but when I shoot walls my bullets don’t go through…

So when the enemy is consistently shooting the wall, and their bullets DO go through, you can imagine my frustration.

Is there a trick to it? A button combo? A special perk you have to activate? what’s the deal?

Should I just be shooting walls I know people are standing behind and hope they land?

We are all equal participants in giving and receiving on this crazy carnival ride called desync.

Whenever you just barely get that kill before someone ducks behind cover, there is a good chance they are frustrated they got hit through a wall from their perspective. There has only been a few times when I got a kill that was clearly hitting someone behind cover from my perspective.

There’s a few ways to do it actually.

  1. Get a better gaming chair.
  2. Elite button combo: B → B → X → Y → Quit to dashboard → reopen → RB x3 → spin 1080˚ → Shoot.
    • or if you’re on MnK: Alt F4 → Left Click
  3. Pay $1000 or more in the store and 343 will send you code that gives you access to ghost bullets.

Hope this helps.

The 1080 spin got me good. The mental image I have of people swiveling in their chairs is killing me for some reason.

Well, that’s even funnier. I was picturing them rotating their thumb stick repeatedly.

I always play now with the intention that one more shot will hit me or hit my opponent when fleeing. Watching you kill someone through a wall is both exciting and frustrating because of the lack of connectivity this game has.

Is there a “favor” system in place?

Sometimes in other games it appears as though you escaped a tough situation behind a wall, but in fact due to latency you may not be as safe as you think you are (or rather were) due to being visible on your opponents screen.

I just labor under the assumption that they can see me through walls no matter what

That’s reaching at best my guy

You say that, then I’m no shields with nobody on screen suddenly

Desync was suggested (precedent for this), favor system (precedent for this), most players utilizing the ability to actually shoot through walls (maybe provide proof before standing by a claim?).

I mean, I can’t see them, they shoot a wall on screen, I die, and that’s not proof enough?

It could be desync, but it’s literally being shot through a wall in terms of how you have to react to the game. You can’t just dodge behind cover in this game because the game won’t let you.

How could anyone tell if people weren’t just cheating given how bad the system is that’s in place? It would be a breeze to simulate it if you’re a good hacker

There needs to be some context here.

Are both of you standing completely still and unmoving while shots penetrate through static objects?

Or

Are you peeking in and out of cover and/or running away from incoming fire, noticing your shields are going down intermittently while behind cover?

If it’s the former it’s definitely an exploit, if it’s the latter it can be expanded upon further by identifying the potential underlying mechanics contributing to the occurrence.

Then it’s just a further reason to delve into fixing the issues contributing to desync.

It can at least be explained using mechanics and rational thought if it was desync.

There are tells.

Just a few for example:

  • People aren’t commonly or even rarely getting domed across the map through multiple static objects, ergo, penetrating shots through corners as an exploit or hack is unlikely.

  • Latency is observable in real time and can be calculated or estimated if captured in real time to determine when shots are actually fired/hitting. A higher latency on either end can contribute to visual discrepancies and the illusion that shots are going through objects when the server is merely calculating actions based on time.

D-Sync however, this is not serious enough to work on or spend time re-Coding the game when 343 could spend time thinking of ways to extract money from the dwindling population for a nice colourful gun !!!

MESSAGE : from 343….IGNORE DSYNC

BUY SOMETHING !!!

16

Yeah a lot. I’ve already put out several gag videos making fun of how bad it is.

I mean yeah sometimes

17

Could you provide a clip? I’d like to see this in action.

18

You’ve never been standing behind cover and just keep taking damage anyway? I’m sure I’ve got some clips saved of it, it happens pretty often. I’ll try and link them tonight

19

Never honestly

Looking forward to it
