Summary

Arc-Lightning Gun, Bug Blaster & Fire Oni Mask are cool weapons because they are unique, but they are not doing any damage to the Explosive Device when it has Custom Mesh with Collision Complexity set to “Simple and Complex” while other regular weapons are doing damage normally.

Its Collision Complexity needs to be set to “Use Complex Collision As Simple” to take damage from weapons mentioned above.

Update: I forgot that some time ago I changed Objective Devices in places where I experienced this to Explosive Devices with Custom Meshes. And I found out that this issue is happening when the Custom Mesh has Collision Complexity set to “Simple And Complex”, because I changed it to “Use Complex Collision As Simple” and now it is OK = mentioned weapons are doing damage to it.

So I changed the title of this topic and content of the first post to reflect this to avoid any possible confusion.

Changing the content of the post breaks the bot that marks the post as a bug for the bug reporter according to the pinned forum thread i believe
