Re: Shooting with R301 while downed!

I had same experience, concidencely with R301 as well:

Hey all. 

Thanks for the reports on this. I've seen some similar reports recently with other weapons as well. I'll forward up these details for a look.

I was knocked down yesterday in Ranked on Kings Canyon playing Caustic with an R99 and I noticed while knocked down, I could still shoot a little.

I've actually had this happen twice, I forgot the other Legend I was playing when it first happened.

PS. I thought I lost my mind when this happened, glad to see I didn't... LOL 🙂

It happened to me as mirage yesterday. I think I had a 301 as well. Definitely had a gold knockdown shield because I was trying to use it and was shooting instead. Might have cost us the win as I couldn't crawl behind cover to revive myself (final 2 teams). 

That's a funny one. When it happened to me tonight it was with spit fire. Pretty deadly.

This has happened to me once and I actually got a kill. Never happened against me though.

It doesn't matter what weapon the person has. What causes this bug is the enemy used their Tactical or ult at the same time they get knocked and they will have their weapon in their hand instead of their knockdown shield. Causing them to either be able to shoot or melee you while they're knocked.

It's annoying I know. I had a Pathfinder shooting while knocked today in the new mode. I thirsted him immediately.
