Re: Fix the Punch Bug

Im NOT hitting R3 by rage I don’t get pissed off and cringe hold my controller in fights im usually relaxed it happens when Im casually trying to fire the weapon besides it ONLY HAPPENS with the HAVOC and rarely with R-301 or Eva 8 and NEVER HAPPENS WITH OTHER WEAPONS and I have been in major fights and its never happened before so i know for a fact im not clicking R3 it only happens with those 3 weapons mainly with the havoc all the time though why would I cringe with the havoc its literally one of the easiest weapons to control in the game i used to use it all the time now I just use R99 and never have the punch problem in face to face fights

    @FaIIenAngeI777Well, it’s happened to me with others weapons. The Flatline for example. If it’s a bug, then are they even aware of it?

  • @DarthVaaparIdk I just know I’ve posted it 2-3 times already why I was so pissed earlier mainly just because i spent so long to find a shotgun had 2/3 kills done for daily and midfight it threw out a punch lmao I can’t play every day only for half the week so ya I never got to finish the daily XD I had other places to go and Its never happened to me with a flateline I just know every single time i pick up a havoc it happens

    Try Button puncher layout but then you might crouch in Battle with R3 :P if this happens then that's your problem.
    I have changed my controls through Xbox accessories and now i loot/reload with R3 and i don't have this problem.
    Just try Button Puncher to see if you accidentally crouch in Battle or loot/reload/revive with R3 to fix the problem.

  • No thanks it sounds like a good solution to try but 1 i dont want to switch button layouts and 2 its just gonna wear out the right joystick quicker and i will be buying another controller quicker constantly clicking those always messes them up i keep settings on auto sprint so the left joystick dosnt break like the last 2 controllers lmao constantly clicking to run was bad maybe sprinting has something to do with it auto punching midfight but it only really happens everytime i pick up a havoc i noticed bangalores double time makes it happen more frequently so it could be something with the speed burst but it happens with all legends aswell so maybe auto sprint idk

    @FaIIenAngeI777 Yeah that's true it might break your right stick but R3 melee is bad. Just a slight R3 push in an intense battle can mess you up and start throwing punches.
    Okay I hope you figure something else.
    I don't use havoc much but i use R301 and it never happens with my controller layout.
  • Idk i will try to mess with havoc more on wednesday when i can play again it just seems odd why it happens with the havoc and not with R99, prowler, peacekeeper, devotion wingman hemlok or any of the other weapons ive been using lately well wingman makes sence i dont really go all crazy with wingman lol but it seems like i would be punching nonstop with R-99 if I was hitting R3 anyways thanks for your advice I gtg to bed Gn

    @FaIIenAngeI777 Like @DarthVaapar said you’re probably pressing the Right Analog stick too hard just enable autorun or just change button layouts go into training mode and get used to the new button layouts
  • I have auto sprint enabled but just seems odd why I would only hit R3 with a havoc lol I agree with yall on the R3 thing with R-301 and Eva 8 because it rarely happens but every single time i pick up a havoc it throws out punches -.-

    So I can confirm its not necessarily a bug but once ammo reaches 0 the character punches instead of auto reloading when pressing RT to shoot and it seems to happen with all weapons I tested this out with R99 and Prowler aswell guess I just never noticed lmao
