Can Revenants' tracking rockets still target a player with a blur sphere, even if the Revenant fires the rocket in the wrong direction?

Yes. The blur artifact only confuses the monsters to make them inaccurate. It has no effect on Revenant rockets. oTHErONE (Contribs) 23:53, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Exact amount of accuracy reduction

p_enemy.c, A_FaceTarget

if (actor->target->flags & MF_SHADOW)
   actor->angle += (P_Random()-P_Random())<<21;

p_mobj.c, P_SpawnMissile

// fuzzy player
   if (dest->flags & MF_SHADOW)
      an += (P_Random()-P_Random())<<20;	

Although I'm not very into hex calculations, my estimates are ±45° (0x20000000) for the first case (that'll be hitscan, I suppose), and ±22.5° (0x10000000) for the second (projectile attacks). Are my values correct? It might be useful to include them here or into the fuzz effect article. Also, I wonder what actual numbers will come out after the idiosyncrasies of Doom's RNG come into play.

On a side note, I haven't managed to find any exceptions for the spectre's fuzz. It appears that they are equally as hard to hit as fuzzy players (to monsters, not the player, of course). If so, the Spectre article needs a correction. --Unmaker 19:18, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

The player's sprite (as seen by other players in multiplayer mode) will be given a filter similar to that of the spectre

It is exactly the same. It also isn't a "filter". --Quasar 02:11, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
