When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 23.04.22 10:55am(ish)
Summarize your bug Since the 4.0 patch the few times I've played I've noticed, on occasion (frequently), that when I throw C5 on a vehicle (or close to a vehicle) I cannot trigger the detonation. This happened in solo/multiplayer in conquest. Perhaps, one time I threw C5 at a player and it did not detonate... but he could have gotten out of a vehicle and was chasing me down (kinda frantic lol). My weapon was the SFAR (drum ammo/XDR holo/incendiary under barrel/tactical compensator), I switched back to it after 4.0 since the ADS issues were addressed. Also using Mackay carrying EMP and the MP28. I just looked before I played today at the (new?) option, but the Invert C5 Input is Off.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try playing with my loadout (on conquest?), throw C5 on vehicle, ENJOY! (or try.... lol).
What happens when the bug occurs? Vehicle/players no go boom! I can see my character pressing the trigger on the detonator, but nothing is happening.
What should be happening instead? Press trigger, big explosion.

  • Same issue on me with PS4. I tested this bug with some specialists and found this issue happens on only Angel. And one more thing is if you repeatedly press C5 trigger, C5 will explode within 5 ~ 10 seconds but you high likely killed by vehicle or enemy soldiers before C5 works.Bug field 2042!

  • @AgentJohnnyPi noticed it happens if your close to dying like the game doesnt want it to explode after you die. i literally just exploded c5 in a match and watched the full animation of the c5 go but nothing exploded because i died, when the c5 should've exploded.
