    Summarize your bug I was knocked back by friendly JB-2 explosion while planting a bomb at B tower on Aerodrome map. After getting up I still had a bomb in my arms even though the tower was destroyed. It was impossible to unequip the bomb or switch weapons or interact with anything. The bomb disappeared after redeploying. Similar to this issue, but with different cause https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OUTPOST-Bomb-bugged-can-t-equip-weapons-need-to-redeploy-or/m-p/8628746#M24375
    How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1) One player calls in a JB-2 on enemy tower (mie was tower B at Aerodrome). 2) As the rocket get closer another player on the same team starts planting a bomb on the same tower 3) Make sure to not finish the planting as rocket hits the ground and knocks you back. Note: Probably the tower has to be destroyed by JB-2, because in mine case it was.
    What happens when the bug occurs? Stuck with bomb in hands, can't switch weapons, has to redeploy.
    What should be happening instead? Bomb should not remain in hands

    @Agrgg Thanks. I think indeed when the tower is destroyed while planting a bomb this happens.. Good to know not the only one. Hope this can be fixed in between as Outpost is now hot to play.

    Thanks for the reports on this! 👍 It looks like the team is aware of the issues that are happening with the Outpost bomb.

  • It is not just happening with the bomb in outpost. There must be other triggers as I have had this glitch in normal conquest games

    @EA_Kent A shame It didn't recorded and saved the print screen. Don't know why. So in this one you just have too believe me .

    Planted the bomb and tower got destroyed by V1 or japanese rocket.. Bomb sticks in my hands again.. Game was finished after the tower rebuild by team. But the bug is still there. Although tower collapse different. 

    As Outpost is this week TOW event again we will see if some pictures / clips will show up as well. Will keep an eye on it.
