Firing Range Bot Activation Broken

I wanted to put in a little work on shotgun peeks, so for the first time in a long while, I tried to activate the firing range bots.

It turns out that this feature is broken.  Every time one activates the Easter egg, one becomes glitched, stuck in place on the platform unable to move, with the sole option of exiting back to the lobby.

I don't have time right now to go back and test if 3rd person is working correctly.  But I have done that as recently as a week ago, so I believe that the bot activation is the only feature broken ATM.  My suspicion is that this occurred at the same time as when the bots were moved forward from their previous position at the beginning of the season.

    I get this issue every time I activate the easter egg also. Like Cheese said - If you just change characters, you are unstuck and everything works fine.

    @XubunnytwoDon't get me wrong. I think they should make it easy to turn on. And they should make the bots better or provide waves of bots you control the difficulty of. I'm saying as it is I don't see the point. I find shooting the bots are nothing like shooting real players.

    It's still more practice than shooting at non-moving bots, so I'd take that button.

    Currently I tried this and you do get stuck in the catwalk.  The work around is to swap to another character.  However in my case the Firing Range is pretty messed up.  It is slow loading and crashes often on my PC system.  My friend got the mode working on PS4 and we can do it there as long as it doesn't crash.

    Developer: The Firing Range need some TLC PDQ, if you actually care.

    Update: The bots seem to be very aggressive and this makes up for their poor movement.  If you are a sniper, you will win all the time.  If you are melee or stand still too long, you are dead.  The bots are not affected by Crypto's drones or detected by Valkyrie's ultimate.  I notice they get distracted by Rampart's shields.  Otherwise they are great to warm up and practice on.
