Summarize your bug Entering vehicle with certain loadouts causes massive desync issues for the player. Entering and exiting the vehicle NEVER resolves the issue. This occurs in every game mode with vehicles, including Hazard Zone, and it does not matter if you spawn in the vehicle or call it in via the drop system.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Enter a solo game. 2. Spawn with an AK-24 with the masterkey underslung, champion muzzle brake, K8 holo, and standard ammo. 3. Get in a vehicle. 4. Drive around as fast as you can and drift around. 5. Get out (when the vehicle is moving) and check if you can aim down sight. 6. Repeat steps 3-5 until it breaks.
What happens when the bug occurs? Everything breaks.
What should be happening instead? None of this should happen.

Entering vehicle with certain loadouts causes massive desync issues for the player. Entering and exiting the vehicle NEVER resolves the issue. This occurs in every game mode with vehicles, including Hazard Zone, and it does not matter if you spawn in the vehicle or call it in via the drop system.
Repro Steps:
1. Enter a solo game.
2. Spawn with an AK-24 with the masterkey underslung, champion muzzle brake, K8 holo, and standard ammo.
3. Get in a vehicle.
4. Drive around as fast as you can and drift around.
5. Get out (when the vehicle is moving) and check if you can aim down sight.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 until it breaks.
A number of issues that can occur (but sometimes only some of these issues will appear):
1. Nothing happens when you use the aim down sight key. (This one always happens)
2. When pinging a location with Q, it appears where you entered the vehicle last. (This one always happens)
3. Nothing happens when you use the reload key.
4. When shooting, the UI does not update your bullet count. Your bullets in the mag run out after 30 shots anyway and your character automatically reloads.
5. Bullets may not do any damage.
6. The game gives you out of bounds warning even though you are not out of bounds on the map.
7. You may not be able to enter the vehicle again if your position is sufficiently desynced.
8. May not be able to open doors or otherwise interact with the world.
9. Grenades appear to turn sharply in midair when you throw them.
10. Selecting different attachments on the T menu does not update the currently selected attachment on the T menu but selects them anyway.
11. Sometimes, opening the T menu yields an empty menu except 1,2,3,4 in the center.
12. Sometimes, you can't switch to your sidearm.
13. As Angel, when you try to call in a supply drop, no circle indicator appears on the ground, but the supply drop appears anyway.
14. Shooting with your sidearm or underslung weapon (if you can) has no recoil (but you can't aim down sight on them either).

In the last video, using the out of bounds warning, I was able to pinpoint my desync distance to about 25m as you can see around the 4 minute mark.
List of things that do not fix this bug:
1. Getting downed and getting revived
2. Entering and exiting vehicle
3. Shooting in the vehicle
4. Switching seats in the vehicle
5. Reinstalling the game.
6. Resetting both profile save files.
7. Changing the weapons that are on the vehicle.
8. Getting into another vehicle.
9. Switching to another weapon / melee / grenade / gadget / abilities.
List of things that do fix this bug:
1. Respawning when this occurs
2. Rarely, jumping may fix the issue, but often times not.
3. Equipping another underbarrel attachment causes fewer issues.
I believe this is the most detailed breakdown so far of this common and gamebreaking bug. Unfortunately, as of now, it's not even listed as a known issue.
List of other threads describing the issue:
It's a fairly common problem that's affecting people all the time, and yet not listed as a known issue.
