Where did the issue occur? In a match
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. I was in the Firing Range
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Testing a bug that I found with gold attachments.
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? I don't know
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? I originally noticed it yesterday, though since it's a Firing Range bug there's no real "number of matches played" to be given.
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 09/05/23 and today (10/05/23). I don't remember the exact times, though right now it is about 3:10pm PST
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Minor impact to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? So from what I can tell deaths in the Firing Range cause gold attachments to bug out. When using a weapon with a gold mag/bolt, the attachment will stop working as intended after a death. Mags won't auto reload after however much time, and bolts won't load rounds while you slide. The only fix I've found is putting a new attachment onto the gun, whether that be a new gold attachment or any other attachment (i.e. a stock). I can't tell if this is a Firing Range only bug though, as it's quite difficult to test something like this in BR. If it is, though, it's not really a huge deal but I thought it was odd enough to bring up anyway.
What should be happening instead? Gold mags/bolts shouldn't stop working after death
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Pick up any non-red tier weapon 2. Pick up said weapon's gold attachment 3. Fire weapon and test that the gold attachment works as intended 4. Die with weapon in inventory 5. Fire weapon again once respawned and test if the attachment works
I'll be attaching a link to a short video showing what the bug looks like once I get it uploaded. Unfortunately it's too big to attach directly.
