Summarize your bug Rao hacking ability not always working.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I don't know why and how the hacking bug is happening, it seems it's random. But play the character and try to hack helicopters. Sometimes it's all good, like it should be, sometimes it'es really messed up and the hacking process is glitching
What happens when the bug occurs? the "hacking" sight start to hack normally then stop then work again then stop again, quickly, and it says "Hacked" but it is not the case.
What should be happening instead? It should hack normally.

Rao hacking ability not always working as it should.

Sometimes, when you aim at a helicopter, and you click to hack it, it's glitching, as if I click then release then click , release (etc) quickly, and it finally says "Hacked" but it does not work. And when it's happening, it's too late, during the full round I can't use his ability. I tried to quit then join another game, sometimes it works, sometimes it glitch. (and there's no object in sight when I'm hacking, clear sky)

I don't know why and how it's happening. Seems random. But Rao is not reliable for the moment, I can't play him.

    @SexyMETAL Completely agree. Totally inconsistent. Regularly says a target is hacked when it isn't. Range is completely unpredictable. Also, mechanic takes too long and requires too much exposure for too little reward (e.g. no XP).

    Totally, when you hack an heli (so when it works), if someone destroy it during the time he is hacked, you don't get anything. Kinda frustrating

    I have the same issue when I try to hack something that is almost out of range, it will say “hacking”, stop, “hacking” again, stop, and then ”hacked” (but the target is NOT hacked). The “hacked” ui remains on screen unless you put the gadget away.

    Overall the feedback from using him is inconsistent and hard to even tell who you are hacking. Maybe add a red outline over the target.

    Same Problem on PS5.

    And i also agree that the hack ability is not awarded enough.

    You get just the spot award, and thats it. 

    And the vehicle spot just stays for some seconds, that mostly when the vehicle gets destroyed you don't get any award...

    In my experience it seems to happen most on maps with lots of non player hackable things (doors, bridges, bollards on the roads etc.). On the map Kaleidoscope, I noticed that no matter where I was or what I was trying to hack or aim the bridges in the park portion of the map where being hacked over and over. Rao is totally unusable in that area of the map and a few others.

    Same problem on xbox as well. It glitches out and doesnt let you properly hack targets. You can "hack" the air and it still keeps saying hack complete.
