    On Unstable in the new missions it's possible to use longer barreled guns to shoot through the door at a distance that won't pull you through the boss room, spamming the door maintains the boss being active, allowing you to bypass all mechanics.

    In addition, on the Apex Boss fight, after killing two of the drones using this glitch, the boss will freeze up following the bullet phase(where presumably it begins moving), and after a few minutes will die.

    Sounds like an easy (?) fix for this, is to check line of sight to your character's body, rather than the end of the gun or something.

    Like, if your body is up against a wall, the gun won't shoot at all. In fact, I thought that's how guns already worked in SB? Or maybe I'm thinking another game, where if you get up against a wall, you can't shoot at all.

    Oh wait, yeah, Frackin'Universe uses this mechanic for the Mining Beams. If you're too close to the wall and the thing is clipping into the wall, it won't work at all, it won't even fire the beam.

    or just make the bosses fail to initiate until the player is entirely within the room.
