Talk:Punch Through (Mechanic)/@comment-7645613-20130824042006

Puncture mods are very iffy and don't behave correctly like they are supposed to with every enemy or terrain. using the snipetron vandel, it will not pierce a loot container behind the one you shoot, but sometimes will shoot through closed doors, and will shoot through glass. it all depends on a few factors:

1. is the weapon hitscan? if so,

2. what kind of material your trying to shoot through

3. the rank of the puncture mod

4. how thick the first material is

puncture is inconsistant and i have been fooled many times with the shotgun version of puncture, as i thought i was shooting through enemies but when i reviewed the recording later i realized that most of my pellets simply were not hitting enemies in front and finding empty spaces to pass through instead. it works, just not always for every situation so for all practical purposes its not worth it, at least until a full list has been produced of what can and cannot be punctured and with what weapons.
