Boosters

[Nick Walker II]

It seems every other mission I do, some of my booster options will be grayed out and unavailable. Even if no one else has equipped a single booster or I'm going solo, I won't be able to use them.

What's going on here? Does the game lock out your previously used booster to force variety? Or is this a bug? Anyone else experience this?

I only had this happen when late joining missions and it only would disable some boosters.

This is happening to you in quick play, right?

I've never used quickplay. It happens when joining randoms, friends, hosting my own game, and playing solo.

Even boosters that weren't being used?

I have the same problem, sometimes you can use them sometimes not. Sometimes 2 of the 4 players can have 4 strats and the other 2 can only have 3. I have no idea why and its annoying.

Boosters can only be used once per team and don't stack. If someone use the same booster that you unlocked then it won't be available for you.

It is good etiquette for higher level players to use their most recent boost to allow lower level players the chance to use their. It end up a plus for the whole team as more boosts are used.

Hosting your own game and playing solo are the same thing, let's talk about that:

You're saying you've had it when you are playing by yourself, when you are selecting boosters while in your hellpod that some of them are grayed out?

Yes I knew about this. But as the post said, this is happening when I play solo as well and even if No one has any boosters equipped.

Then I can tell you that it never happened to me in the past.

Yes. Grayed out and unable to be selected. It's usually the stamina enhancer as well as a second random booster.

Interesting, maybe it's a bug then?

[Katitoff]

You can't see boosters of deployed players.
Grayed out are the ones they're using.

If I were in your situation I'd start by doing all the standard easy things like verify game files, maybe reinstall game...

I've had the same thing happen sporadically when I'm joining a match in progress, there will occasionally be boosters which nobody is using that can't be selected.

[Tilen]

Same here.
