    We've temporarily disabled Valkyrie within the Firing Range due to a stats-related exploit. This will not affect your ability to give her a spin in Arenas or Battle Royale though so have at it!

    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. Using my ultimate as Valkyrie with another Valkyrie attached to my ultimate then turning on friendly fire.
    Did your squad mates also experience the issue? Yes

    What happens when the bug occurs? It's allowing you to kill someone in the firing range and let it count towards your banner. If this got out it would really make 10kills feel real weak... And we all know some basement dweller would do this with maximum efficiency.
    What should be happening instead? I should not be getting kills in firing range?
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? By being a Valkyrie doing an ultimate with a Valkyrie with a prepared Ultimate on you when you launch. Then turning friendly fire on this will for some reason allow for you to kill the other person and get kills added to your tracker

    I've got a video of the bug but I don't have the capability to shrink the file size at the moment as I'm filing out this document on a mobile.

    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 turned on the practice dummies and was shooting the bow for 5-10 minutes and got knocked and backed out the firing range lobby. After returning to the main menu I noticed a death was added to my season 9 stats as I had gone in 38-10 and came out of the firing range 38 -11

    How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
    How severe is your issue? Minor impact to gameplay
    What happens when the bug occurs? firing range death statistic was counted toward my accounts season stats while I was in the lobby alone.
    What should be happening instead? I don't think firing range stats should affect/count towards matchmaking statistics like K/D
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I activated the firing range dummy easter egg to get them to shoot back to warm up shooting the bow for 5-10 minutes and got knocked by the dummies while I had a gold knockdown shield I backed out before reviving myself in the downed state to the lobby. After returning to the main menu I noticed a death was added to my season 9 stats as I had gone in with a k/d of 38-10 and came out of the firing range with an extra death towards my stats (38 -11)

    What happens when the bug occurs? Stats are incorrect resulting in negative K/D due to it.
    What should be happening instead? Firing range shouldn't count towards season stats.
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Watch your kill counter and death counter, go into the firing range and kill one another, the counter will move even though it isn't multiplayer based.

    In 64 matches during this season, it shouldn't be possible for me to have 97 deaths unless my teammates had continuously re spawned me, which is not the case.

    I am noticing the same thing. Resurrecting my friend in the fire range adds to the "number of resurrects" that the game tracks for Season 9's Battle Royale mode, despite it happening in the fire range. 

    It also seems to be tracking my damage in there. My damage stats for season 9's Battle Royale says my maximum damage in a game is around 900, but my average damage is 1200. Which can't be possible, as I can't have an average number that's higher than my all-time high.

    I was also able to complete the "deal 1500 damage" daily without having to queue up for a match, as that damage was dealt to a friend in the range.

    Me and a friend found out how it works and its not just deaths dmg kills deaths kd not badges tho at one point i had 66 kills 0 games played. The bug happens when a team m8 gets on your valk ult and when he/she lands they will still have the altitude meater and when that happens stats are affected ive tried to reach out to respawn and the apex team on twitter and EA support but no answer . This is quite a big bug that needs to get fixed its so easy to set up takes like 30 sec and can be abused increadibly easy and we found it after 10 min of playing in the firing range the first day. EA please fix

    What happens when the bug occurs? Firing range is granting kills, on the first day Taldoosh got 1488 kills and 1000 pistol kills. Ausyf has grinding kills too, I find it unfair to people that have many kills not real and should be up there with the top kills.
    What should be happening instead? Not should be getting kills counting in the firing range
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? update the real kills

    Ausyf explains everything on how he got his kills

  • Same thing happens on pc, it seems to affect all stats such as k/d ratio, kills, deaths any thing that could go on your banner. This is a major boosting exploit that needs to be patched asap.
