Requires other players to throw to (or with health packs it’s unclear what’s going on)
Environment:
- Any
Description:
-
Since the Guardian update or earlier, Direct Hits from ammo packs are sometimes missing, even when the recipient is standing still. I don’t hear the pack landing on the ground (save for lag when it lands at their feet).
I’m only referring to the XP feed on the HUD in-game. I don’t know whether the pack’s recipient earns a lowered cooldown, or whether direct hit XP is actually counted post-match.
Sparks packs are okay (“Direct Hit” all the time), yet I seem to remember they weren’t.
Steps to reproduce:
- Online,
- as Arty or Skyhammer,
- throw ammo packs directly at players
Expected results:
- “Direct Hit” every time a direct hit was made
Actual results:
- Sometimes “Direct Hit” and sometimes nothing at all
- There’s no sound of the ammo pack hitting the floor
Fix:
- N/A
