Name randomly changed in firing range ?

Just went on firing range to warm up and apparently my name is now nicolasbono06 . Backed out and went back in and I’m now gurthy4101 . How is this happening haha

  • I tried finding my post about this to say its still happening, but found this one. Even though its just a name, I can see it actually bugging out the game eventually.

  • @MassiveVernonI have also heard weird sounds, had holo sprays i don't even own appear out of nowhere and have been affected by others ultimates, firing range is cursed right now so there is a lot of spooky * going on.

    @BigBlackCaustic Yeah it’s weird , I guess it’s to do with how the firing range is set up it must still act like a lobby and therefore certain things show up on other people’s games wether it’s from dodgy coding or some kind of layering idk . But the names don’t make sense to me , like if it’s just a bug and it resorts to placeholder names then why would there be soooo many different ones and such variation ?

    Think the whole thing needs looking at tbh, firing range was already in dire need of som improvements but all these strange occurrences just shouldn’t be present at all lol

    @MassiveVernon The Holos or random ults yeah. There are other people in the lobby but you can't see them. You can also see them use the charge tower.

    I have had fun with it.. I was in the range by myself and someone started throwing down holos.. So I started throwing them down. It was entertaining because we kept spamming them.
  • I believe it is just a glitch, apparently it is people who have been banned, this is why you see a lot of names with a large amount of random numbers and letters

  • @ljpengy123 This makes total sense. Some of the names I saw in the firing range, I was like, "Man, that player isn't gonna last long with a name like that" 🙂

    Hey all, 

    This should be fixed now as mentioned over in the bug report thread!

    Definitely pop in over there and let us know if you're still seeing it happening in-game, thanks!
