I’m running the Windows experimental console build 3934, and just discovered that acetylene torches are no longer able to cut through metal barriers like doors or fences. I possess welding goggles, and you can still activate the torch such that it hisses and consumes fuel, but the object you’re targeting is never actually destroyed.

I was able to break through gun stores metal door with no problem with exact same build

Strange… Are there different types of metal doors now? I first encountered the problem while trying to slice through a military bunker basement door, but then tested it on a fence and item rack in an LMOE and neither of those could be cut either.

So this is still a problem for me in the newest experimental, but I’ve discovered it’s limited to certain doors. I can, for example, cut down a LMOE’s closed metal door without issue, but the military bunker basement doors remain impenetrable.

Maybe not a glitch. Have you seen norad? lol Those doors are literally 8 feet thick or some crazy sh!t like that XD
