Who made this change ?
Why was this added in ?
When was this added ?
Has it always been like this ?
When will it (not) be changed back ?

*EDIT*

I was talking about attacking people from under the small one above the MGs, not the big ones on Outposts

    This was always a thing, I had just noticed a lot of the time they bugged out and you couldn't use Oil through them. I'm assuming from this now that they fixed that?

    It's always been like that... and it's intended. And it works both ways.

    It was always like this, but didn't work in a few keeps due to perhaps some art asset placement issue. I believe it still doesn't work in those particular keeps.

    This has never not been true, except for the 2 keeps that it should work for but doesn't. At most keeps, only a single oil, placed at the widest part of the grate, will work. Many people try to put two there, one at each end, which wastes oils and doesn't do any damage.

    Oil grates have long been the primo method to turn potatoes into crispy fries.

    I'm not sure what makes you think you can't use two. I've used two many times and gotten many kills with them both.

    In those particular keeps Reverb is referring to, oils simply don't work in that spot. No matter how many you put down or where you place them, they don't damage enemies below the grate.

    i know for a fact that you CAN set up 2 and you do deal damage!

    it is the people only setting up one in the centre that are wasting space & making the defence harder

    side note can people get the *** off my oils.... im wearing vicious death i can wipe that entire zerg if you stop using my oils! >:)o:)>:)

    This is only true in some keeps, not all.
