What happens when the bug occurs? You are unable to reach sprint speed when auto-sprint is enabled. Sprint must be pressed manually, or you will slow walk indefinitely.
What should be happening instead? Auto-sprint should kick in and bring me to max velocity.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Enable auto-sprint. Holster weapons, crouch, hold ADS, and move forward like normal.
Forgot to post this when I found it a few weeks ago. This is copied from my video script:
Holding ADS out of a crouch (with weapons holstered) will prevent you from sprinting, when auto-sprint is enabled. You will max out at ~199.53 velocity,which is "normal" walking speed. Pressing sprint brings you to standard 299.00 max velocity, however you will continue to slow walk until this point.
Something with the ADS behavior causes auto-sprint to not kick in. This also happens with an heirloom equipped.
Seer is a notable exception, his passive behaves like a weapon.
Seer (passive active): 173.50 velocity (ADS speed for some weapon classes)
Seer (passive disabled): 199 velocity (Walking speed)
This has been confirmed to work in Season 0-3 builds of the game. It is an actual problem with the auto-sprint mechanic, not due to any recent changes.
