does anyone else find it hilarious?
so many players now instinctively - almost as if trained by traumatic experiences - shoot the bedrock that lines my base's hallways. it's hilarious to watch and activates my monkey brain serotonin system.
mainly because i dont have any fake blocks or 2nd phase bedrock imitators, but i have a TON of bedrock in my base. and so i have raids where players literally waste 10 minutes shooting every block in an empty hallway.

Had a loot tomb filled with Natural bedrock, I saw at least 7 people shooting and melee'ing the same bedrock twice Just to be safe.
I didn't out any traps in there because I wanted them to get the loot. Still funny to me.

in their defense i have another map that is entirely built out of second phase holocubes, sentinels, corrosive cubes, and bedrock...

Ya I find it funny and amusing but it makes sense XP. Let’s be honest we all get a little on edge. I have gotten really good at noticing the holographic effect and or well, if you notice with a sword your cross hair becomes red. So I just take a slow approach when I am suspicious. I think people find it faster to just shoot and hope they also destroy the trap behind

until...
the ammo gets trapped behind a 3x3 corrosive wall hidden by holocubes.

I do it because sometimes I can't see the holographic effect very well and even ones that are normal will look like they're flickering (thanks to the glitchy textures), and it's quicker to just shoot it than to stop and look closely at the thing. I can shoot and walk at the same time and it doesn't slow me down, unlike carefully studying every piece of bedrock in the walls.

players like you give me so much joy. i should make more ammo captures in my new base i'm building.

Personally I run with the Volt Lancer and either the Arc Barrier or Plasmabow. The Plasmabow won't destroy traps but it'll reveal Holocubes, and it has more than enough ammo to waste.
I do wish BHVR would improve their graphics so the textures would stop flickering. It's really annoying. I'm considering turning the game off after this weekend and not playing it until they start fixing this stuff, there are too many things that are just broken.

Could this be a pc thing as I haven’t exprinced this issue yet on Xbox. Or maybe I have but I don’t realize it

Ah. PS4 Pro here. The game performs better than DbD, I can say that at least. I haven't experienced the frame drops I've seen other people mention, even when the Builder spams the DbD Generator décor. The textures can do weird stuff, though, flickering or appearing to be moving. Pieces of texture or gore splatters will disappear in a flash from certain angles. I don't know what the moths around the light fixtures look like for other platforms, but on mine they look more like rendering glitches or artifacting than flying insects.
PS4 Pro. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it can be distracting enough to get me killed.

I don't shoot any bedrock. If it's a holocube then I'll hop out of the way when it pops.
