Laser Sensors
Introduction
Laser Sensors (also known as sensors) can be placed on any object and will emit a beeping noise once the laser is interrupted.
History
- Change Log
- Build 80 & 81 - Usable items like Grenades and Sensors now remove from your inventory when you have none left (one step closer to dropping items)
- Build 79 -New laser sensors have a start up sound and no longer get triggered through objects and doors! Moving doors or objects will trigger them now however.
- Build 79 - Sensor start up time change to 2 seconds instead of 3
- Build 75 - Laser Sensors beeps have been limited so we don't kill your ears
- Patch 429 - Made sensor not go off when you are a dead man.
- Patch 309 - Make sure charges and sensors are always flat on the wall and don't go through.
Gameplay
The Laser Sensors can be equipped by pressing "7". Once equipped, you can place the laser sensor by left clicking while aiming where you want it placed. Upon placing a Laser Sensor, a high-pitched beep will sound off, notifying you that the Laser Sensor is now active. Although you can aim the sensor with right click, there is nothing that comes out of this other than being able to place the sensor more cautiously. Players and objects interrupting the beam of the laser sensor will result in the player who placed them down hearing a high-pitched beep. Laser sensors cannot detonate Remote Charges upon interruption. The precise range of the sensor is unclear, but it is proximately 1 meter and is longer than the disable range(the range where you are able to perform disable ability on sensors). This means sensors can perfectly rig up tight areas like vents where players cannot approach the sensor from any other direction other than face on.
It is also important to note that thrown object like Grenades don't set off sensors, same with Mirror Camera and Remote Charges(or c4). In fact, sensors can be covered by remote charges and the range won't get affected. Since a mirror camera can't be detected by sensors, it is the perfect tool for peaking into a room and scout for sensors. Smokes from Smoke Grenades also won't affect the sensor's range. Explosions from Grenade won't set off the sensors. Interestingly, although sensors cannot be taken out underwater, placement in water is still possible. After testing, water does affect the range of sensors, where it won't detect you even when you are in disable range. Additionally, sensors underwater show superior ability at detecting up, down, right, and left movement of the player, yet experience difficulties detecting player moving towards it.
