Summarize your bug When shooting the 40mm Smoke Grenade out of the SFARM-M GL the smoke grenade explodes and then disappears within a second or 2. It happened Every Time in that match. I'm not sure if it's the map or if it was that server since I haven't been able to get into a game of kaleidoscope since. Will update if it happens next time I play that map.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Shoot the 40mm GL on the SFARM-M GL on Kaleidoscope. Watch as the smoke vanishes.
What happens when the bug occurs? The smoke disappears after it appears. https://youtu.be/lNt37k7a-CA shows it in action.
What should be happening instead? The smoke should be staying in place for an time equal to that of the hand held smoke grenade

Video of it. It was raining in the match and that might have an effect? Though the normal smokes worked fine.

  • I can confirm this still happens after Update 1.0.

    This does not always happen however.

  • I found that 40mm Incendiary sometime doesn't explode at all.

    I have seen cases that my incendiary grenade hits the enemy and kills them but there is no flame coming out afterwards.
