    Operating system: Windows
    Build number: 1865
    Description: If encase the catapult in blocks you can shoot thru them(only 1 layer)
    Steps to reproduce: go to a server(doesnt work in sandbox), buy a catapult, place it, put it in a confined layer of blocks, abuse the shooting. Note that the player can be killed from the back of the blocks(also where the stones shoot out so pretty bullcrap).

    While it has been apart of the game for a long time, it also has never been glaringly used. I wouldn't want people using this, but it's up to the devs if it's worth patching or keeping it as a feature.

    I am aware this abuse has been in the game for awhile. That doesnt make it a feature anymore than crouching while shielding is a feature or counterjabbing is(you charge a full slash vs someone because even if you dont get to fully use one their jab and you holding lmb will make you counterjab). Neither is mining the corner of a tunnel a true feature. I understand that for the playerbase those abuses(along the single gap platform maneuvering) are well known and used, but this one is abit cancerous and stupid so i felt the need to report it.

    Most of the information I received about this topic is from Hospitalizer, who I saw do this yesterday. I was going to report it, until I saw this thread. Hosp told me the devs are aware of it, and it has been around since Classic. It's widely used anyways, so I don't think there is a need to fix it.

    should be fixed next build, will hopefully get better testing but now it raycasts to the point it was gonna spawn it and uses the hit position if there is one, so should spawn on the under-side not top side of the wood.
