Optical camo during grappling still use charge?!

[meiam]

I looked online but can't really believe it this is actually in game and not fixed yet.

Apparently once you reach headhunter level 40 your optical camo always activate when you grapple an enemy, cool little nifty upgrade. Except it still uses your charge, and because its a skill that automatically level up, you can't turn it off or avoid picking it up.

There's apparently literally nothing that can be done about this, 98% of the time this is entirely useless and will just burn your charge for no reason, leaving you with none when you do need it.

I am missing or did no one spend 3 seconds thinking about this when designing it or is it a bug and they literally didn't do any testing?

It does use the charge, BUT, it only uses a part of the charge while grappling. If you immediately kill or knock them out, then it'll refill the charge bar in about 1 second or so. It wont use the full charge and result in needing the full cooldown charge time. It annoyed the hell out of me until I realised that. If you drag them somewhere and it takes 5 secs or so, it'll just refill that part of the charge.

Is it actually working now? Because last time I played my V with Optic Camo, (which was several days ago, pre 2.02), pretty much all of the skill progression perks were broken. The base stat increases worked, like +30 carry capacity, +50 Max HP, etc. But the things like (regenerate Camo when you neutralize, or the one in question in this topic, did NOT work, at all.

So has that changed?

Not sure about the level 60 skill for headhunter, as I dont have it yet, but just base regen for optical camo I'm finding is refilling fine since I usually kill them on the spot most of the time.

Edit: The activation of it while grappling is definitely working though.

Nice, because the activation while giving them the sleepy cuddle was definitely not working for me previously. Which was annoying as heck.

It seems to be working for me now.
