Switching characters in the firing range just kills you and respawns you with the same inventory and such. While being respawned isn't exactly the issue, being killed is. This disrupts the flow of switching characters, and make it much more annoying to try out different legends and tactics, if you get killed each time you switch.I feel like this is to counter players who keep getting out of bounds, and to that... all I have to say is this: Y'all should stop trying to protect your firing range out of bounds. Its not worth it and it causes no harm if a player gets back there. Let people have fun. Let them travel to the ship in the back. Its the firing range after all, not ranked.

@Midnight9746 It also causes issues when trying to use third person mode or the training dummies easter egg but mainly the third person mode one because you get stuck into the wall

Hi all - the Firing Range is a public lobby. You are in there with 59 or so other players. You just can't see them.

@pandareno1999Unless you can go out of bounds and it somehow glitches to allow you to see other players then I see absolutely no issue with players going out of bounds to try and explore unreachable areas

@pandareno1999It is technically a public lobby however it acts more like a private server for you to do your own thing, other than holosprays or Valkyrie’s spamming their tactical its basically a vip server so if someone wants to go out of bounds more power to themI just don’t like the new mechanic when you die because it messes stuff up

What @pandareno1999 said. You can actually have a holospray battle with someone in the lobby =)

@TheApexLegendNub i simply addressed the misconception I see here that firing range is a private lobby.

I forget what it is, but there's a good reason why this change was made. Something about it was being improperly exploited. Yeah, it can be a big hassle, and some avenues for fun are gone as a result.

Firing range has always gotten the short end of the stick. I mean look, we're still picking up ammo in stacks of twenty, two years later. I think it's pretty clear that Respawn doesn't see much value in improving it, unfortunately.

I have not experienced whatever issue you're referring to with regard to activating either one of the easter eggs.

@pandareno1999KandyRew’s Rampart Heirloom Unboxing video I think showed him getting trapped inside of a wall after trying to enter 3rd person mode

@TheApexLegendNub Hrm. I don't engage it very often, but did so not that long ago to check out some strafing patterns. I want to make clear that I'm just trying to be realistic in this thread, not to be negative on your ideas.
