Windows 10 x64

Broken:
Date: 2018-11-29
Hash: 43e7c5dd43
Branch: blender 2.8 (Beta)

Worked: (optional)
Date: 2017-9-11
Hash: 5bc8ac9
Branch: blender 2.79 (Official Release)

Short description of error
Can't weight paint through the mesh. In 2.79 you could deselect "Occlude Geometry" and paint "through" the mesh. This was nice when creating trees and you wanted to weight paint all sides of limbs at once. In 2.8 Occlude Geometry got merged(I think) with another setting. Selecting/deselecting Show Xray doesn't act the same way.

Works

I'm a bit confused, but it seems activating "2D falloff" does it.

As pointed out, in 2.8 you can just turn off Front Faces Only and active 2D Falloff to do this.

Found it in the weight brush tools panel. Screenshot for anyone else looking. I wish answers were more specific for noobs.
