This is something I've seen on Line Harvest over and over. On the pipes located between Alpha and Delta capture points people will often throw a ton of uplinks on those pipes.
I don't see any problem with this strategically, but the problem is the uplinks are almost always invincible to anything but direct melee because they will be meshed inside the pipes, and the collision issues make them invincible to grenades or bullets. This isn't the only place I've seen this happen, but definitely one of the most prominent.
The same issues occur on the Biomass Outpost for example on top of circular spire. Uplinks will be jammed into the geometry and be impossible to kill unless you can manage to melee them which for some reason works.

This happens in many many more locations than in op. I use flux grenades to destroy uplinks under terrain model. |

Please please fix. And it's definitely not confined to pipes. Drop uplinks are REGULARLY hidden underground, and impossible to destroy. |

There is a work around, but it is only possible if you get a moment without an enemy there. Crouch and melee. The melee actually goes through the surface and hits the drop uplink. |

I mentioned this in the OP. But yeah, if in doubt, melee! Only thing that sucks is if someone spawns and you're kneeling right there in front of them  |
