Obeya CAP40 'Sergeant' - To Pierce or Not To Pierce

[Zolerox 564]

FAQ:

What is this and why should I care?

This was an idea I had 3+ years ago when someone I consider to be a favorite of mine posted a guide "Tember's legendary guide of legendary guns"

which points out a weakness of the cap 40 (and obviously the Colby Commander due to it also sharing the Piercing property) 

"...It is sometimes unclear which objects can be pierced". 

 

So I had an idea what if I Zolerox (the craziest person here excluding zbiscuit of course) took a screenshot of every single object in the entire game and tested if the CAP 40 can pierce it (and the Colby Commander if I couldn't get accurate results with the cap 40).

 

So I present to you my "what can the cap 40 shoot through" guide, object by object I'm working on 1 map at a time (and waiting for them to bring back beacon) massive work in progress Financial is done for now *including Devil Dog's new location* Waterfront's Also completed. (I'd like to point out I did 100+ of the screenshots taken in 1 sitting around 3-4 hours)

 

What if I don't wanna look at 100+ screenshots?
I'll have a .GIF (I don't make .GIF's of the things that CAN'T be pierced) at the top of each spoiler in case you just want a quick peek with each frame being inside the spoiler if you want to stop and get a better look.

I even took screenshots of objects I believe would be pierce-able but are not

(And maybe in the future I'll make a list of suggestions of what should be pierce able in the future, Gas Station Pumps for starters.)

 

Won't this take forever to complete?

Yes and no, because even at my maximum human (and inhuman) working capacity I can not make Beacon exist,

so even if I finished the entire guide right this second I still need to wait for the current management to switch one of the fightclub's to Beacon so I can do my testing there (which is why I'm leaving beacon for last and continuing my work) check back once a week if your interested I'll update this whenever I do my 2nd round of testing (and 3rd 4th and so on.)

 

Does this also count for the Secondary Revolver "Colby Commander" Legendary as well?, Do you need help? and Do you have other projects in the queue?.

Yes everything shown can also be pierced with the 'Colby Commander' infact if you look at the "display banner" screenshot I use the commander due to the small hitbox I needed an accurate weapon to test it.

 

Of course but as of right now the main part (screenshots of what can be pierced) will have to be done alone until I can list exactly what I need help with I'll let you all know when the time comes.

 

Thanks for asking (me) I have several other projects albeit a lot smaller here's a short "sneak peak" of a list of what else I'd like to work on

-concept art redo of my previous "suggestions"

 

-concept art of a few things make the 4th mod slot (consumables one) a little clearer that it's meant only for consumables,a tiny edit on my previous one this time showing a "retrieve multiple email attachments at once".

 

-Maybe less of a guide and more of a "image of every legendary in existence how it looks what skin it can use" nothing like tembers guide mine would be more focused on what the weapons are" but not planned anytime soon.

 

-Not so much new but 1.redo jokerstore guide (both steam/forums version) to include new screenshots of the car kits, and 2. redo nano screenshots (now that I Own every nano in existence) for my nano guide (f/s version)

*added Devil Dog's new location to "yes section". Baylen is planned next. Beta test revealed that it breaks a few rules.

yes, as said in the op

[Zolerox 564]

Small update!,

The "no" section was added and financial is complete, I'm moving onto my next map "waterfront" which wont have as many images I'll avoid testing the same exact objects unless the same object that's financial is IN waterfront and isn't pierce-able when it is in financial.

 

I have a few more sections planned but That's only AFTER beacon comes back, or when i complete the 4 main maps.

-Circle outline of good spots on the map for pierce capable weapons

-What I think should become pierceable 

-How many shots it takes to kill someone through I.E 3 shields with a Colby Commander.

Thank you for this post, I use the cap 40 all the time and always just assumed the piercing effect was broken or only worked on people. Will be interesting to try it out more.

great post apreciate your hard work to grab information

most of no piercing things are solid objects not temporal objects like boxes, doors etc.

O I begged a differ you have no idea how far you can bend the laws of psychics to do your bidding (well piercing physics at least)

Screenshot below, Shooting past an object (the window) that is not pierceable Go ahead, log in and try to shoot it. This is a "bug" or exploit and will not be part of my "watefront" section.

Really good guide Not enough likes on this one.
I would love to have a Light machine gun with piercing.
Like a Legendary Swarm Killer Bee.
(I'm tired of super fast firerate weapons.)

[mojical 160]

This is an excellent post, thanks for taking the effort to screenshot all the objects. 

 

It's just a pity that there are only two weapons with Piercing and the CAP40 was completely ignored when the OCA was buffed. The CAP did not even get the accuracy buffs and is less accurate than the OCA.

 

Also having the Innova/Nekrova "standalone" piercing just to test and experiment would be great, but I have no idea how that one was obtainable in the first place or whether it is in OTW.

[Zolerox 564]

Mini Update From Ya Mate!,

Waterfront is complete.

 

2 Fightclubs left to do (not including Beacon until they bring it back.)

Asylum

and

Baylan

 

(next map will be asylum but will take longer it's my birthday in 2 days so i'll be busy. *march9th*)
