When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
Summarize your bug Auto throw crates does not work for the new throwable ammo/health packs.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Enable the new auto throw crates option in settings. Spawn a specialist who is carrying the new throwable health or ammo packs. Click on the button (4 on PC) for the packs.
What happens when the bug occurs? You take a pack in your hands, but do not throw it. You must left click in order to throw it.
What should be happening instead? You should automatically throw the pack when hitting the buttom (4 on PC).

Technically, I suppose this isn't necessarily a bug. After all, the season 6 patch notes say this:

  • Added a new option that allows players to auto throw Ammo/Medical Crates upon button press, similar to the auto throw grenades option. This option can be found under Mouse & Keyboard or Controller > On Foot.

So it does specifically use the word Crates. But it doesn't make sense to me that this would apply to crates and not the new throwable packs. If anything, it would be more useful with the new packs than it will be for the crates. Therefore I assume this is a bug and not intended behavior.

  • @mitcharfI was heavily disappointed that the new pouches can't be auto thrown … Pouches should be included asap, because they are basically the same thing, and it would increase the playability of them by a lot.
