2D Pong Ball Not Reflecting Off Walls "Exactly"

[Joncom]

Hi. New to Unity. Making Pong. Here’s a GIF of the problem I’m facing:

As you can see, when the ball hits a wall at a certain angle, it no longer reflects off.

The ball has a Rigidbody2D and a BoxCollider2D with a material that’s bounciness==1 and friction==0`.

The walls are made up of BoxCollider2D’s.

So far as I can tell, this “lack of bounciness” is normal behavior for such angles.

However, is there any way to get around this?

Perhaps manually messing with the ball’s velocity via it’s OnCollisionEnter2D method?

PS - My source code can be found here.

Edit: Looks like this guy had the same issue, but unfortunately didn’t find a solution.

Lower your Velocity Threshold to 0.1

Project Settings → Physics2D

Described as “Any collisions with a relative linear velocity below this threshold will be treated as in-elastic”
