Lifeline’s healing drone and revive don't work in friendly Caustic gas

Product: Apex Legends
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
AMD or Nvidia Model Number RTX 2080 Super
Enter RAM memory size in GB 16GB
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? SiX1SE7EN
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)? Lifeline
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)? Caustic
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. The bug happens anywhere on the map
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. The issue I’m reporting is that Lifeline’s healing drone does NOT heal allies while inside Caustics nox gas.
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? Yes
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? This has always happened since I can remember.
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) It happens all the time.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Minor impact to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? The healing drone floats in the air and provides NO healing while being affected by an allied or enemy Caustics nox gas traps.
What should be happening instead? The healing bot should provide healing to her team. The bot works in Bangalore smoke so why not Caustics nox gas?
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have an allied Caustic drop a nox gas trap and then activate it. While in the gas, drop Lifelines healing drone and try to heal yourself.

I’m not sure whether or not this is an intended aspect of the game.

    What happens when the bug occurs? Lifeline cannot revive teammates in caustic gas using her new ability. It will cancel out entirely and has cost me and my team many games.
    What should be happening instead? Lifeline revives teammates like normal
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play caustic and lifeline in a match if one teammate goes down then revive in the gas and you will find the bug.

    Please fix this

    Extremely embarrassing! Not being able to heal in the nox gas has been going on for even longer. I think about 2-3 months. 
    I’ve posted here and I’ve also tweeted to respawn and apex and have gotten completely ignored. 
    It’s truly disgusting to have complete disregard for the community. They have no social media support or anything besides their Trello board which still doesn’t mention these issues. 
    Considering Lifeline and Caustic are top picks this patch you come across numerous situations where these bugs make or break your squads survival. 

  • @N7_Craig I agree with this. It is also affected by friendly Caustic traps, not just the ult gas. Multiple times now my squad has been wiped because I can't revive my teammates in friendly gas. If we take no damage then our equipment shouldn't either.
