Still a bug with Heavy and its ability

[sideris_x]

It won't work if you remap it to another button. you still need to press "Q"
I can't believe you guys haven't fixed it yet. :(

i have stimms on Q and ability on alt.

before the patch pressing Q activated the ability and didn't use the stimm. pressing alt also activated the ability. so if i wanted to play heavy i had to move stimm to something else.

after the patch pressing Q uses the stimm, but alt doesn't activate the ability - it just does nothing. now if i want to play heavy i just accept that i don't have an ability.

that is weird, cos I played pvp yesterday and my skill button on middle mouse worked perfectly just like before the patch.

what's weirder is that i don't remember having this issue around launch. and from forum/discord searching that i've done it seems to be something that they introduced/re-introduced somewhere around november-december.
i don't know what's so special about heavy's ability that it behaves this way.

can't say about pvp - never played it.

I haven't played pvp or campaign since launch, so i wouldn't know if it works there.
In operations though, heavy is the only class that i need to press Q to activate its ability. In all other classes mouse number 4 button (i maped this as my ability button) works just fine.

I also thought it was still a bug, but its not it was fixed, try again setting your keyboard buttons and it should work after this.

But i did that. Maybe it doesn't work for me because i have it on my 4th mouse button and not on the keyboard?

Given how trend in Space Marine 2 works in PVE, this isn't a bug but an actual perma-nerf :P

Joking aside, I feel for you. I haven't (or "hadn't" I should say) played the Heavy at all 'cause by the time I got around to playing this class, the Ability was bugged. I made a post about a few days back and I was suggested to start the mission, open Controls Menu, change the binding to something else (mine was MMB), close menus to go back to the game, then back to the controls menu to change back to MMB. For me, this works. I have a Logitech G402, btw.

just to clarify: are you doing all this in every mission or just once?

EDIT: surprisingly, it seems to have worked. thx

Hey you are right. It did work. Last time i just remapped the ability key to the same button without changing it to something else first, but now i did it your way and it works.
Thanks!

Guys, how about you do some reading first - this problem has already been solved, there is a simple solution to this, you can have Iron Halo skill or any other skill under any key you wish - just do the simple procedure which was described in this very thread, you can't go wrong with it, it always works.


I am not going to repeat how to do it because I already did it several times in similar threads and it worked for everybody. Do your homework and everything's gonna be fine.
