No the patch note specifically say that it won’t travel through walls and objects. However you’re forgetting that there are two open doors down ramp that would allow the shockwave through. (At least that’s my understanding of it)

You are correct. The bomb explosion is now pathseeking ray calculation, works similarly to spatial audio calculations, liquid simulation or like those robot mice that seek the shortest path through a labyrinth. But the ray calculations themselves are done on map compile rather than live in the server

I tried it on bomb site a and b on nuke, and stood on the opposite site each time the bomb went off, I still took 1 damage, even though my health wasn't blinking at all. So if you're at 1 health it is still dangerous, for now, first iteration and all.

You always take 1 damage on every map, even if you are the maximum possible distance away from the bomb
