What happens when the bug occurs? I've experienced this bug only with the R-99 and CAR SMG thus far. Mid-clip it will just stop firing. This does not happen often but it has happened a couple of times since the launch of the new map and was not experienced before the new season.
What should be happening instead? While I am still holding down my left-click it should still be firing until the magazine is depleted. It should not stop firing mid-clip
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I am unsure of what is actually causing the bug. The best thing to do is repeatedly run with an r-99 and CAR to recreate. I do not know if anyone else has encountered this or even with another weapon.
Not entirely sure what is causing this issue. It seems to very rarely happen. I don't experience it every game. I have only encountered it with the R-99 and CAR. I will be mid-clip, beaming someone and the gun will stop firing without me letting up on the left mouse button. Nothing specific seems to be happening beforehand. The most recent encounter was within a minute off of the initial drop, the individual I beamed had not fired back, I had not needed to heal beforehand, and had not used any abilities.
