dropping obj leaves it in-hand

  • dropping carryable obj sometimes drops it on the ground and leaves the obj in your hands; you have to change weapons.

Hey sneak a lot of the bugs you are reporting have been previously reported. Also, more information screen shots ect the better.

I searched and found nothing. The problem with some of these bugs is they can be worded in several ways and depending how the forum’s search operates it may or may not find the appropriate thread.

I figured when I had the chance to get a video or image I would post it, when necessary. Some things don’t really need a picture drawn. This for example is easy to understand by just reading. I’ll try to remember to catch this on shadowplay next time it happens and post a video.

It seems this bug is getting worse, on maps like dome with a deliverable, I’ve had it where a teammate dropped it, but still “had” it. I was able to pick up the one he dropped and we were able to cap both deliverables at the same time…

@fandangoRose that does seem worse than just the visual bug.

Want to add my two cents on this one aswell. Been getting it a lot on dome when I am on the attacking team. I see an enemy, drop the package to shoot, and I’m still holding the package while the one I dropped is still on the ground lol. Then I try to shoot, and it just tries to hit them with the package. I have to then try and change gun again to get rid of the second package. By then I’m usually dead.

It is really annoying, I mean, how many times did you have the objective, tried to drop it down to kill someone and ended up being killed because of it.

I don’t know if I am allowed to bump older threads but well, not like this hasn’t been reported ages ago without any fix yet.

Yeah it happens every single time you “switch weapon” while carrying the objective.

Noxie - I don’t know if the bug was ever explained properly as people keep asking for screenshots, but I don’t think screenshots matter really.

It’s pretty simple though. Take a map where you have to deliver an objective (end of Chapel, start of Dome, end of Bridge) - If you are carrying the objective and you run into an enemy, you naturally drop the objective to get out your gun out to kill them, but upon doing so your character drops the objective on the ground but still has it in hand at the same time (so there appears to be two)

It doesn’t seem to matter if you change weapon or drop the objective first or whatever, it happens regardless. The only safe way to avoid the issue is by changing weapon twice, but then ofcourse you lose time by doing this.

It’s not a visual bug either. If you drop the objective and then try to shoot, your character simply just tries to hit the enemy with the objective lol.

Screenshots wouldn’t really show what’s going on anyway.

Also don’t forget, by changing weapon twice that is assuming you are aware of the bug or remember the bug at that moment. You often change weapon then try to shoot because you “dropped” the objective but end up bashing the air with the objective instead of shooting due to the bug and then die right after.

Yeah I know, that’s my point, it’s dumb and should be fixed because it’s hard to remember to do that lol
