Valkyrie animation stuck after using tactical in the air

Product: Apex Legends
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
AMD or Nvidia Model Number Geforce GTX 1080
Enter RAM memory size in GB 16
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? Masutei
Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible. JetZu9, Tubli
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)? Valkyrie
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. Olympus, Grow Towers
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. Tossed a Thermite, Jumped, used Valk Q, hit the ground and started spazzing
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? No
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? With Valkyrie, probably around a dozen I think, you can check my match history and when I bought her
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 03.06.21 13:21
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? My weapon is trying to perma-switch on/off, my Q ability happens automatically when off cooldown, sometimes my guns used no ammo and could fire extremely fast and still apparently do damage if I kept clicking, when trying to use a shieldshell it kept canceling / bringing it back up as if flickering, Valk passive jetpack did not lose altitude even when the fuel bar ran out, some really weird stuff was going on in general, could not do anything most of the time and when I could, I could barely control anything since my weapon/shieldshell etc was just ... "stuck".
What should be happening instead? My Q ability should have ended normally and I should have switched back to my weapon as usual
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure if this is replicable, but throw a thermite, immediately jump after it's in the air, use Valk Q, land right after or still during the animation, (probably need to step up a slight incline as well not sure), and your weapon should start spazzing out. If you jump during this time you might get stuck in the air in your jetpack without being able to land unless you touch a wall and slide down. So far as I know and what I could try in the middle of a firefight as the last 2 squads left nothing you try will be able to disable the glitch.

You can probably check the replay of my match from the timeframe included above (EEST) and see what happened.
I tried pressing pretty much all the buttons and trying everything I could to stop it but it just kept going.
When I noticed I could shoot without using ammo and without much delay I tried my best not to fire at enemies in general while in the glitch as not to be seen as "abusing" it even when I didn't really know what was going on, but still trying my best to display how the glitch affected it, in the middle of a gunfight over getting the Champion.
I'm sure you can see what's going on in the match replay, and I'd urge you to look at that first thing.
I tried uploading an Nvidia Shadowplay clip of it to both my google drive and my dropbox, but neither could either start nor complete the upload, not sure if the file itself is somehow cursed or something.
Will try again later if it's possible to add attachments / edit this post later.
I believe it is the exact same issue as seen here. Still thought I should add all the information I could in this post instead of a reply to that one.
Same as the above, I also have my flight control as "hold" instead of "toggle".

Edit: Here's the Drive link of the uploaded Shadowplay clip (the bug happens around 1:05 into the video)

  • @Masutei I had this happen to me today. It was frustrating. I rarely play her but I saw it happen to a valk on my team one other time as well. She was like spazzing out stuck in her launch animation but on the ground, floating. Lol. I was in the tower inside the ice crystal place on worlds edge and just could not do anything. It was as if I was hitting all my keys at the same time repeatedly but could not play at all. Had to quit game but teammate died by the time I got back in. My teammate said I was making a clicking sound and just glitching out similar to the way the valk was I saw a while ago.
