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. Attempting to ping loot for teammates, or ping a location on the map
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? No
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? happens every match
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Minor impact to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? Remapping the 'ping' button on console results in the in-game ping to lose functionality while either in a death box, or while viewing the map overlay. Clicking the ping button simply does not generate a ping in either of these contexts, 100% of the time after remapping this button.
What should be happening instead? One should be able to ping loot from death boxes, and be able to ping the map directlyh
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Remap ping, attempt to ping a location from the map, attempt to ping loot in a death box.
I have attached my button mapping for QA
Additionally, remapping Ping prevents the use of Replicators for Crafting (if you set Ping to X)
