What happens when the bug occurs? When the game first came out, it was you needed to press tab or ESC to get out of loot box. Now it auto exits you when getting shot at. For some players this could result in a death because they see the bullets coming across their screen but haven't been hit yet so they go to exit the box but brings up the settings menu or the inventory menu and reduces your ability to fight back. Some players like the auto exit feature. But I don't sometimes I want to be in that loot box to grab a shield in case I need to. And sometimes it doesn't react fast enough especially with disruptor rounds or hammerpoints getting shot at you. Every second counts. And to get stuck in your inventory menu or an esc menu can cause you to die extremely fast.
What should be happening instead? Allow players to disable auto exit loot box feature. Or give rid of it all together to all players to react how they want to react when getting shot at. Not let the game make that decision for you.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go to a look box and when you start getting shot at press tab or ESC. And you will see its hard to react after that.
Please fix this issue.
