Crypto Quality Of Life issue - emote after kill

Massive issue with recalling drone after a kill on console.

With the current button layout every time I get a kill there is a pop up suggestion to emote by pressing down on the D pad.

This overrides the drone recall, which is the same button. This means that during high pressure fights, if I'm trying to keep my drone alive while I'm fighting I can end up randomly emoting.

The drone recall should overrides something like an emote.

Clipped in a recent game, apologies for the explicit language:

  • The only fix to this is changing your controller layout, mainly for your emote/quips button. Though this is something that is annoying to deal with, the devs aren't doing to act on it because all you have to do is change your keybindings.

    I understand if you don't want to, but I hope this atleast helped a little bit.

    That's brilliant news! Thanks for letting me know!

    I've also since realised that the same issue exists for vantage 🤣

    Thanks man 

  • This is also a thing for other legends that have abilities linked to the Extra Character Action Key (ECAK). Examples such as Rampart, Vantage, Ballistic.

    How I "Fixed" it:

    1. Go to the legend -> Emote Wheel.
    2. Remove all favorites among Emotes
    3. Favorite at least one Quip

    Now when you get a kill pressing the ECAK produces a quip, and does not interrupt your movement, aim, etc.

    Critically, pressing the button again then performs the desired action, so mashing the button twice will recall your drone!
