Summarize your bug Underbarrel attachments on weapons will majorly glitch you out upon entering/exiting a vehicle.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Equip an SFAR or other weapon with an underbarrel grenade launcher or shotgun attachment. Enter vehicle, either by pressing E or spawning on it. 100% of the time, reproduced on non-crossplay servers and crossplay servers, this triggers the bug.
What happens when the bug occurs? You will no longer be able to aim as per this bug: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Can-t-ADS-after-exiting-vehicle-with-SFAR-equipped/m-p/10998898#M5396 (no, it wasn't fixed when they thought they fixed it) You cannot reload most weapons, register hits with most weapons except launchers, aim with ALL weapons, throw grenades (throwing grenades will make them appear to throw but it does not, tested with a friend). Movement will be buggy as though you have high ping, but ping is not related to the issue. Ports are not related to the issue. Reproduced across multiple matches on different servers and other players reported the same issue in-game.
What should be happening instead? You should be able to aim, register hits, throw equipment, fire equipment, switch attachments reliably, move without major desync.

I doubt that uploading the file here will work as the video file is 270 MB, so here's the youtube link to the footage I took testing the bug for this forum post.

  • Worth mentioning that on "some" maps/gamemodes, this doesn't happen, but on "most" small maps, this happens.

  • The underbarrel is the trigger of the bug.  To restart your ADS, change your underbarrel to a grip.  Some people suggest keeping the grip until you need the launcher and change it out then.

    These were offered as work around solutions until a fix is forthcoming

  • This went away for quite a while but returned on the last patch. picking up a fallen soldier's weapon and then picking your back up fixes it.  I also get it triggered under other circumstances such as after firing Lis' Rocket Launcher.

  • @ZeroMODE This still isn't fixed which is ridiculous. This is a huge bug that's been around since launch, there's no excuse for it to not be fixed by now.
