Heya, I picked this game up a few nights ago (level 6 atm) and I’m having some problems with deployables. I don’t know if it’s an actual problem or if I’m just doing something wrong.
Proxy is the main culprit here. It does affect Aura to some degree, but it doesn’t usually matter as you tend to have more time to deploy the station.
Sometimes when I throw the mine, it simply disappears. You get the animation for throwing the mine and even the audio cue for successfully planting a mine, but it just isn’t there.
It really sucks when you are in a hurry and want to plant a mine and gtfo as fast as possible. Like in the bridge map (probably?) when you are defending against the EV there is this alley between two brick houses that is just asking to be mined.
You die and they get their EV fixed meanwhile. Then you have little time to get to the alley, if you want to do it unseen. You throw the mine and hop out of there behind the corner. You see a bunch of enemies heading to the alley: “man, that’s going to be a triple at least”.
Then you start looking “Hey, where’s that blue marker? Where’s my mine?” and realize what you have done and wish you had nades in hand instead.
Example from last match: https://youtu.be/LR3tCbePe04
- Animation is played, but a charge is not used and a mine is not spawned.
- This is not a good example as I already had a mine nearby. It doesn’t affect the deployment itself though. (1)
- It usually happens when trying to deploy a mine into a tight spot like a corner or inside the train cart.
- Ping is under 50ms and the connection in general is good.
(1)Deploying a mine on an existing mine makes it spawn next to it
