Patriot Suits randomly exploding?

[Doominater]

Sometimes they just randomly explode without taking damage upon being dropped on the map, other times they instantaneous explode upon a diver entering them, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason for it. Just lost an entire match because our last guy tried entering one only to instantly combust upon doing so.

i have had this happen to me too.

however the rockets (left mouse click) also don't have a minimum arming distance, so if you shoot one really close to yourself.... well you instantly explode, i've seen this happen A LOT of times with people.

But knowing this, i've also randomly exploded without firing my rockets anywhere near me.

steping on fire seem instant death for my mech

I had a game where we all dropped in and someone called In a mech, and it spontaneously blew up next to thr dude that summoned it and killed him and we were all just kinda staring and laughing at the sight for a minute lol

dude, the random explosions are a feature, you are not supposed to have fun in the mech.
my god why people dont understand the game is not meant for people that just want to have fun, go play another game! give the devs some slack !

Haven't tried the mechs yet, but as far as I know, somebody F'd up the rocket collision, so you die instantly if you shoot while moving.

No it's instantly exploding without anyone even entering it at times, other times its exploding INSTANTLY when people get in, before they even have the opportunity to fire the missiles at all.

I enjoy shooting a bug hole (mound of earth) with several missiles and the only destruction is my own mech (cold hard steel).

I must be a very slow player, I never exploded that way.

I have not seen things like in this video, however I have seen the plane gunner shoot the mech the moment it lets go of the mech and kill the mech instantly.

Yeah, I had that happen to me 1 time.
Just randomly walking toward next objective, no enemy, no trap, no fire.
Then it just exploded, good thing my 50% chance to not die proc tho so I just claim out of the burning wreck and die to fire instead.
