So I run around as recon in Lockdown, switching between guns, swords, and bombs, and I noticed that sometimes, it seems like my alchemer shots ricochet off myself.

Ex:
> I shoot a striker and switch to sword
> Shot bounces off the striker (damage happens)
> Shot bounces off of me (does no damage to me)
> Shot hits striker as it tries to run around me

This has also 'happened' in situations where I'd circle guardians.

Is this really happening?
I proposed this in another thread and some people said it can't happen, but I swear I've seen this multiple times. Has anyone else seen this?

I wouldnt be surprised if they did since RSS projectiles stop on you.

Hmm

That's so weird. I rarely use alchemers in LD, so haven't seen it myself.

The RSS really needs to be fixed, but it sounds like this possible glitch might be useful for gunners?

Does it only happen with a shot that already bounced off soemthing else?

@juances

Yeah, I think.

You can't just shoot at your teammates and start seeing things bounce around.

I'm not sure if I've noticed alchemer ricochet off an enemy into a teammate and again, but that would be cool too.
That'd make it a really potent support gun.
