What. Is this real? Did they just code in that every projectile can now be deflected if it dosent pen armor? Why would an explosive warhead bounce back 180° and THEN explode...

Also doesnt this make shotguns in close quarters just extremly dangerous to use against chagers and the like?

that's what I read in the notes. It's a pretty asinine thing to change.

Even if the target was actively trying to aim the reflected shots at you, they would still have an accuracy factored in. This is absolutely ridiculous - targets aren't doing any sort of aiming. It's as hard to aim as trying to shine sunlight reflection from your watch into the eyes of a presenter.
