Whiteout Glitches

[Sn4ke]

Hello community,

as I've seen many active glitch-users on Whiteout on public games & PUG I want to report some of them here - but I guess there are more...

GDI:

To Hand-of-Nod avoiding Turret triggering:

this is where you start.... Silo side

soft border starts here - 10 seconds...

plenty of time to reach a safe spot

Note: Turret can detect you on the wall... but unless the Turret is already pointing that way he won't shoot you...

jump down to HoN... or follow the reticle

To Refinery (Turrets will detect you):

move close to the rock otherwise you're still "out of the map" and soft border countdown runs out...

run to Refinery using the left wall as cover.... Turrets will shoot...

Stank shortcut:

if GDI is lucky enough to get a stank... drive on top of the rocks next to HoN and hop down....

PP shortcut:

climb the rocks at the right side of the infantry entrance of Nod base...

Nod:

Stank shortcut to Barracks / PP:

once on top of the rocks both GT should spot you... I'm pretty sure there is a way to avoid GT detection completey (without distraction!) but I didn't test it that elaborately :-/

Stank shortcut to Refinery avoiding GT detection:

start here

get on top of the rocks or wall [most will fail here *lol* but once you know how it's really easy..]

wait for the harvester to cover you... or ask a teammate to distract the GT... and thats it :-/

I hope Whiteout gets fixed next patch.... :-)

Regards,

Sn4ke

Though this has been mentioned above here's an overview for the right side sneak into Nod base:

Not only stanks but also arties can climb the rocks behind HoN:

There's a blocking collision, but stank & arty vehicle physics allow to jump over it. Make it higher?

Well, I forgot this Ion glitch:

With SAM still intact Ions vanish and Nod can't disarm them.

@HappyConscript Well, as you seem to be inactive regarding Map-fixing / game development I'd like to know who got your permission to fix your maps?

All the glitches posted here are used ingame. So either the "extra" infiltration paths should get officially legal [by removing soft border and adding some extra collisions to limit the map..] or they just need a fix... I really hope someone fixes Whiteout until the new patch gets released... Maybe one of these two have the permission to modify @HappyConscript's maps [if not: sorry for the SPAM ]: @Ruud033 @kenz3001

Sn4ke

Hey there Sn4ke,

Other members of the RenX team are tasked with the upkeep of my maps, as well as any developed by past team members.

Thanks,

Evan.

@kenz3001 / @Ruud033

the radar domes behind Nods base got no collisions. There's a soft border timer, but you can avoid it and snipe the hill from inside the domes.

@kenz3001 is there a chance Whiteout gets a fix for all the mentioned issues any time (soon)?

i give up on the soft boundary shit ... there is no amount of map fixes will sort it out 100% the boundary code need to be fixed

i could fix this but would need to know exactly how its done

 

[Sn4ke]

reducing the time limit from 10 to 5 seconds is a good start (prevents the glitch sneaking into Nod base on both sides)

I'll pm you some more detailed screenshots in the next few days.

The stank shortcut glitches have nothing to do with soft border.

I doubt that @HappyConscript had something like this in mind when he created Whiteout. I can provide detailed screenshots here too, but you could just place "real" vehicle blocking volumes around that rock

And stankz glitching up that rock is..... very common on public servers....

Fixed.

Soft boundaries with Hard boundaries behind them might be a good idea from now on. (Or since they go off-map just make them reeeaaallly long?)
