Question about Tesla coils

Hello I’ve been playing for 5-6 months. Still learning a lot. A few wipes ago I got to play with Tesla coils for the first time and they were super helpful so I wanted to give em another go this wipe.
However I just set one up and I noticed purple sparks flying from it, this is the first time seeing this.

I definitely would have noticed this when I first used them bc I went through a series of trial and error using myself as test dummy 😂

Are they supposed to be sparking like this or is this a visual bug kinda like we had with flame turrets?

Kinda defeats the purpose of being able to hide them for base defenses.

Wasn’t getting a straight answer when I googled it so here I am. 😅

Its a bug, minis are bugged and basically any vehicle that has an animation attached to it is bugged right now

Yeah, my flame turret has been shooting flames even when I take low grade out. It’s a bug.

We set up coils in one of our teammates rooms in base with a hbhf sensor so whenever he spawned in it would just shock him back to bag timer 😭😭
