Summarize your bug I play as Falk. For ages now when I am using the D-Pad to select between syrette pistol, defibs and ammo it will often give me an item I didn't select, usually when it matters the most: during high stakes/ high activity areas/times. I have tested it on several controllers and even a different PlayStation 4 with separate internet and still get the bug. I will be standing at a corpse trying to revive and pressing up(?) on the D-pad to select defibs and I get the pistol or ammo crate the first time I press up, the second time I will get the other and maybe the third time I will finally get defibs (or one of the other two again or die). NOW (since the event started?) The defibs just don't work 90% of the time (WHEN I CAN ACTUALLY EQUIP THEM!). It sucks having a useless trait. The Square button revives are so slow but my only reliable option now. Unless it's just me and the corpse I can't receive with de-fibs gadget equipped. I have sometimes managed to get it equipped only to not be able to revive with it nor perform square revives while the defibs are in my hands. Also not fun running halfway across a map for a revive only to get there and the squad mate of the downed person finally decided to start the res as I get on the downed player and now I can't "steal" it back with the quicker de-fib revive. How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%) Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play as Falk in any game mode. Go into an area with lots of players or action occurring try to select defibs via the d pad and perform revives with it. If you can get it out instead of something you didn't click, 80-90% of the time the defibs won't work to revive. Once it is working it is usually okay to second or third revive straight away but when doing 4 or more the second or third player downed will usually fail to be revived on the first attempt.

What should be happening instead? The item I selected should be equipped and defibs should revive players to half health or more.

  • Please fix these two glitches.  It is really taking away the fun and I can't make my epic revives (as often) and now I'm dying twice as much and getting half the revives, some stolen or timed out or I am killed trying to get the defibs out and/or trying to make them work. 

    Also I embarrassingly got killed by a Dozer when trying to zap him and it didn't work. Two other defib kills missed that would have worked if the button fired it off as it is supposed to.

    Here is my video of the glitches. You can see the de-fibs icon  highlight as I select them but Falck never pulls them out she seems to re-select the previous thing, only noticed that part when slowing down the video:
