HMG Emplacement bug or is it just me?

[Titchiey]

Hi folks - just wanting to confirm a bug

When you're in the HMG strat having fun and shooting - press Enter to chat, once you send your message the HMG will not move to where you want to point it. You cannot disembark it either with usual keys. Instead, you have to hit Enter again to dismount it or run out of ammo, wait until the strat packs up and goes underground, you'll then go underground with it and rise up from the ground like all Helldivers are born.

Just tested, can confirm this is a bug, also when I hit fire weapon after typing a message, it was firing my primary instead of the turret.

I could still dismount though and remounting activated the turret like normal and it fired okay, so I'm not sure about that part of your issue?

Thanks for testing! Strange you were able to dismount, I can mash any key but only Enter will work for dismounting. Can agree, remounting the turret returns it to normal.

Np. Yeah, 'e' worked fine for me, but perhaps an oddity of the bug itself, unless you've rebound or are using a controller since it might affect it?

Good to know though as I've been using the HMG emplacement a lot more nowadays especially on Illuminate, but I'm usually on discord with friends so I don't need to type in chat :)

(Also, reported this on Zendesk ( https://arrowhead.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new ) in case you weren't aware of their bug reporting tool).
