New terrain Problem

Ever since the last wipe, a lot of new terrain was added to random encounters. Some of this new terrain included Line of sight obstacles, such as big rock piles and miniature hills. I think these were a great addition to random encounters. It makes battles in the wastes much more dynamic when you can take cover behind barriers to avoid being shot at. There is one big issue with these giant rock piles, and it never occurred to me that it would be such a big deal until it happened.
So I was fighting against a bunch of raiders and went to take cover behind a big rock pile. One of the thugs comes around the corner and takes a shot at me. It critically hits me in the arm and I twitch in pain as I drop my gun onto the ground. Little do I know, much worse pain is about to come when I realize I've permanently loss my plasma pistol. The damn pile of rocks I was hiding behind obstructs my vision and prevents me from clicking and picking up my weapon again.
In particular, this big pile of rocks:

Any chance of putting in a vision bubble when players are behind obstructing terrain such as this? I'm sure there are many other types of terrain obstacles in areas that would pose the same problem. A pretty rare scenario, but serious nonetheless. Had this been PvP situation or in Real-time, it could very well mean life or death. Imagine losing something more valuable, like an avenger minigun in this situation. It would definitely feel pretty stupid.

Sometimes it is good to have posts like this-- people learn things this way that otherwise they would not know.

I wish there were bags, backpacks, etc. in Fonline.

Much worse is, when you kill something behind obstacle. I killed once some Raiders in high grass and wasn't able to loot them.

Based on evidence collected from various sources by trustworthy attendees it is undisputed veritability that the land ravaged by atomic warfare which caused extreme change of the ecosystem and environmental hazards can be considered unpleasant, rugged and unforgiving.

This should be the first message a newly-created character has displayed. In big red letters.
A lot of useful stuff is shown when you press F1.
