How am I being sniped through walls?

[Arrows to Athens]

Full Metal Jackets rounds W/ Thermal Scope on their sniper rifle. Also Explosive rounds work good but most kill people hiding under wall because of it's splash damage.

Got several today:

Well Rockstars incompetence broke my thermal helmet (and all my nightvision stuff) wich means I'm now unable to get rid of roofsitting explosniping tryhards.

Anyone got an idea how to fix that?

Sniping from rooftops is considered tryharding now?

I meant tryhards who call in their opressor and go back to the same roof every time they get shot down.

If sh*t is going down outside my office, then I'm up on top scoping players in a heart beat..... Doesn't make me a try hard, just defending my turf.

First time I've encountered this (or a variant of)...sniped through several walls and from seemingly unfathomable distance (by someone with a K/D of 20+ & a rating of 1800+). I haven't been owned like that since 2013, lol.

On Ps4, btw.

Nightvision Goggles + Quad Lense Helmet and MkII Sniper with Explosive Ammo is your best friend.. You can also snipe people out of their offices, apartments, warehouses etc as long as they aren't interacting with anything (Sitting at computer, using secretary to get snacks or order a PV)

Whaaaaa? Goggles + quad helmet? Does that work better than quad helmet? Also I heard you can only shoot through walls in 1st person?

Yeah definitely still an issue but not many players need to snipe with the mkii around. Ha ha. Was that guy under the map maybe?

i think this has been a day 1 thing because i was still able to snipe someone through a wall without thermal. r* just made it easier with gunrunning so you could see through buildings, i guess.

the more the better, makes your head heavier hence sturdier

It's some kind of thermal vision plus the long distance glitch. Doesn't work on all buildings. Appears to work in the Vinewood and Downtown Los Santos area. These two locations are glitchy when it comes to stuff like this. Los Santos Customs in Vinewood is especially vulnerable to this.

I've been shot in my office using this same trick. All buildings in Vinewood and Downtown Los Santos should be assumed to be compromised in some way.

If you shoot someone whilst they're in their apartment, your reticle will turn red, but they never lose any health.
