Husks can attack Amplifiers through walls if the wall is right next to the amplifier on the second level (Where is doesn't force you to build in a + shape and only the small box around the top). The pictured D amplifier was destroyed without the walls ever being touched.

are you sure it wasn't lobbers? I usually cap amplifiers like this and havent had any issues

Yes there's a metal roof, you can see the edges of it hanging over the walls.

I'm not sure about amplifiers but I have had this happen to me with the bluglo siphons, so I can see it being a problem with amplifiers as well.

RIP new plankerton base. Ugh. I guess I am going to put wall launchers around that part now.

Thanks for the info.

My base is turning into like an HH Holmes hotel where every floor every surface is just covered in traps

+1 for the HH Holmes reference.

I'm Luck_Mod on both PC and PS4. I downloaded it on PC today to play with some of my other friends.

Wall launchers won't work dude. They don't fire quick enough.

Well hopefully I don't let husks get to the middle of the fort in the first place. The wall launchers will buy time for me if it gets that bad. I'm not just going to stand there hoping for wall launchers to kill husks or something.

Lol what a bug.

husky husks often get stuck 'inside' wall launchers and continue attacking through walls also.

I don't think this is actually the case. I think the issue is related to the networking coding and peer based model. If the husks desync a little they can potentially end up on the other side of a wall...then they run into your amplifier and disintegrate. This happens very rarely, but it's annoying and it can happen on any wall including your bottom walls. I've never had it made me lose a mission though, or even fail the % health objective, though a couple have gotten close.

Also if you don't build a roof lobbers can still hit it. You still need a roof on that box if it doesn't have one.
