Before this fine tuning update, a phantom was able to activate his stealth, and cancel it immediately by pressing f. There was no animation, it was quick, and it didn’t waste time like pressing e does. In this update, this is no longer possible. As small as it may seem, this impacts phantom very heavily, as you are left wide open for about a 3/4 of a second after deactivating, and your cloak still drains for that time while you are deactivating. Please either give us the ability to cancel it immediately with f again, or make e instant like f once was.
Phantom nerfed yet again in this patch. Cloak deactivation time

Is it still instant if you attack? I play phantom pretty often and I always would just shoot once to get out of cloak quickly when I wasn’t in battle. I don’t play the game with sound so I don’t know whether or not this makes a lot of noise or if melee would make less. If you’re in battle I’d imagine you’d already be shooting so needing to get out of cloak without shooting isn’t really necessary. I don’t have access to the game right now so I can’t really observe the changes or try anything out. Still agree with your suggestion however.

You could melee, but it makes noise and you actually have to have your melee weapon out, obviously, which a lot of the time you shouldn’t.

@handyHeirloom Please do not create multiple threads about the same topic. Also, it’s still instant so I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Closing this thread.
