Ballistic Shield Bug

[bcsheng]

I found that crunching while holding the shield become extremely sluggish after the new patch today. Also, changing stances while ads become impossible too. Anyone encounter the same issues?

My buddy just encounter a new bug with the ballistic shield also. He was stuck in proning position and can't stand up til he drop the shield off.

Quite annoying, eh? Hope they are not doing it on purpose.

That is unfortunate, as my Automaton go-to is usually Ballistic Shield + AMR or Quasar. If the shield has been bugged / nerfed then...well. I was just getting ready to fight bots again. They nerfed the Pummeler, but who cares as I wasn't going to buy Polar Patriots anyway, but still...not my beloved shield.

It BETTER be a bug and not an intentional change. Probably new stance changes related. They don't test their stuff, this is known already. Can only hope we're not waiting for a damn month or more for their next batch of quality fixes...

ballistic shield has got to be one of the most punished stratagems it was already niche to begin with but every patch theres something new wrong with it.

I'm also finding issues with the ballistic shield. If I get knocked prone, I'm stuck and can't change from that position.

I also notice I do a step to the right when moving in a straight line, though, I only played two games with shield and one without. I didn't notice it when running without though.

That's also my go-to combo, just with pummeler. Now they are kinda unplayable. Whenever they try to bring sth new and refresh into the game, they always nerf/broke something that is already good in the same time. Just can't find myself liking it.

I thought this was just me having some button lag/ping issues but you just confirmed it to me. I too was using the Ballistic shield. FFS why!!!!! I've just started using it again after they fixed the last annoying bug with it.

BS always gets had over with every patch haha, they better hotfix this quickly, I enjoy using it on bots.

I second that, you get stuck either on prone or crouched for some seconds. I haven't used the shield in a lot of time so imagine how disappointed i was.

[Nanacho]

Same here

As some of you have noticed, there's an issue with social features in the game potentially crashing the game, primarily when opening the Social menu. This can also appear when you hit Escape or open other menus. We're currently working on how to best resolve it and will update you as soon as we know more.

There's also a minor bug affecting crouch and prone when equipped with the Ballistic Shield. This only seems to occur if the shield is on the user's back when crouching or diving into prone. Equipping the shield on the arm when stuck in crouch or prone should allow the user to move normally again.

The patch has thus far been very well received, which is great to hear! Thanks for all the feedback you supply us with. Your rapid response helped us to dive into these bugs quickly today.

Have a great rest of the day
