Product: Apex Legends
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 4
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? Ojunior519
Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible.
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)? Newcastle
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)?
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. Emote Wheel
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. I activated Newcastle's Standing Guard Emote, which caused him to do his emote, except his mobile shield was completely invisible.
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? Not Applicable. This bug started ever since Season 14 started.
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 09.08.22 13:00 EST
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Little to no impact to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? When I go to the emote wheel to select Newcastle's Standing Guard Emote he will proceed to enact his emote as usual, except this time the mobile shield he has on his back becomes completely invisible. The shield disappears the second he picks up his mobile shield from his back, and it doesn't reappear until the very end of the emote when he returns the shield to his back. I do not know if this bug is present when you preview Newcastle's Standing Guard emote in the Legends menu of the Lobby, nor do I know if this bug is present in the Firing Range/Training mode, or any of the Battle Royale Modes. I've only observed the bug happening in the Arenas modes.
What should be happening instead? Newcastle's shield should be 100% visible during the entirety of his Standing Guard emote.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go on a standard PlayStation 4 to play Apex Legends and select Newcastle. Make sure to equip his Standing Guard emote when you go to the Legends tab in the Lobby. Then hop into an Arenas match (or maybe any other match for that matter) and activate his Standing Guard emote that's available in the emote wheel. You will see that his mobile shield becomes invisible for the majority of the emote.
When I activate Newcastle's Standing Guard emote his mobile shield becomes completely invisible!
In this post I have attached two screenshots showcasing this bug.
I also have this video that shows me reenacting the bug during an Arenas countdown, and I have this video that proves the bug still occurs when you emote in a Victory screen.
Developers, if you see this, I wish you luck in fixing this bug, and I wish you luck on your future endeavors!
