  • @Tperodactyl Honestly it could be the plant, apex is a little picky with what vegetation is solid and whats not. Its a little annoying, especially when an invisible barrier thats too close to the twig of a tree * my caustic ult. 

    Can't say it happens too often, but it is frustrating when it does.

  • Why on earth would you even touch any ordinance status effect weapons dont belong in fps shoot them its how your supposed to get it

    I'd assume there are just sections of the map that kinda follow legend skins. Where hit boxes are not properly set. 

  • @Tperodactyl I saw a Caustic today who was knocked down, (even had a blue knockdown shield out), I shot at him to finish him off (some other team knocked him), and for some reason I was able to re-knock him even though no one picked him back up. Dude seemed surprised about it too, as he tried to run.
  • @Slender-v1 he was behind the plant and the arc star was behind him. doesnt make any sense. after not getting a hitmarker i thought he somehow ran outside so i was super confused

    @Tperodactyl Honestly theres a lot of funky things that happen in this game. I've had my caustic ult disappear under the map.

    I've had ramparts turret be too close to a wall so when i got off of it, it pushed me out of the map.

    Just a lot of random bugs and glitches, I don't think i've played a season to this date that felt polished and smooth.

    But its a live service game, i think that kind of comes with the territory.

    Not saying that makes it excusable.

  • @Tperodactyl Might be a more general bug with arc star hit registration.

    I was fooling around with a friend, seeing if arc stars still stuck to teammates. It did not, deflected into a nearby wall, and the blast hit me - doing 0 damage.

    Dont know how well this video shows, but basically my whole team is in a vehicle and we run into a team. The driver ends up driving off the edge and our car explodes. Instead of sending me up into a jump tower animation it sends me straight into a wall and subsequently under the map, killing me and costing us the game. 

    Little bugs and glitches like this are annoying, especially since this was a ranked game.
