When i throw the grapple at a missile, sometimes the missile reflects and sometimes it doesn't.

Does anyone know if there's a way to manipulate that RNG, or do we just have to pray? Thanks in advance

I have been wondering this for years, it seems to be RNG but sometimes it seems that it is how you have played up to that point, Like in the first half of stage 2 with the soldier far left on the second screen.

If it is RNG than I have found out that if you stand within 1.5 blocks on the ride side of the platform with the barrel on it, then it doesn't trigger the soldier but any further it does so it seems to make it a little more consistent at least.

But other than that I am not sure same goes for bald bull's teleporting RNG, I don't know.
