Re: Specialist Repulsor Cannon Issues in Arcade / Heavy Class Aim/Zoom Issues

Yes, it is broken and completely useless now. Very sad considering it was literally my all-time favorite star card in the game! Most of my YouTube channel (XP-8 TIM) was dedicated to getting hilarious kills with this thing before it stopped working. EA, please fix my favorite star card!

  • As of August 7th 2019 the Repulsor Cannon's first shot is still not working. The first shot rarely if ever causes damage.

    It never really did much damage. It's supposed to knock people down. Does it still not do that?

    Another update and still no fix. It's almost laughable that they will spend time fixing a hero's eye color, but will not fix an issue with gameplay. It's always heroes, heroes, heroes....

  • This bug has still not been addressed in the latest patch. It also seems that it may now be affecting the new Commando's abilities as well.

    Still no fix to this bug in the latest October patch. 

  • Still no fix to this bug according to the patch notes. Why even have this weapon in the game if you can not use it? It's a shame EA/Dice spends time fixing a hero's eye color, but can not take the time to fix an issue with a weapon that does not work at all. 

  • Still can't use the repulsor cannon. They should just remove it from the game if they aren't going to fix it. It's been an issue for like 8 months now.

    Good news, F8RGE said they have this issue on the repulsor cannon being worked on. Maybe on the first patch of december it'll be fixed already.

    I don't have the link to this here, but as soon as I find it I'll bring it here

    That's great news. I checked the release notes and didn't see it in there, but hopefully it will make it. Thanks for the update!

    Well, I've just playtested this and it's now much better then before.

    For all players that wish to push people with the Repulsor Cannon, then it's working perfectly fine. If the enemy is in range, it'll push them back. However, the damaging part hasn't been fixed, so many times you'll push the enemy and he won't take damage, while other times the enemy will be pushed back and take damage properly.

    So unless devs confirm that it's meant to only do damage on certain ranges, but apply the knockback effect in a wider range, then it's not fixed yet. It's definetly much better, and IMO this fix is enough for it.

    Too bad that if you push someone off a ledge but doesn't damage him, you won't get the kill.

    Yes! I played three times last night and I did not have an issue. This looks like it has finally been fixed. I'll continue to check it out and let everyone know if the problem returns. Thanks for everyone's help with this.
