Upon exiting the mech. my Imp just froze in place. I was then killed because I couldn't fire back or escape. I'm on Xbox.

I'm on PC and i have the same problem. The moment the mech actually explodes the Imp freezes in place. I have even video footage of that.And it only happens when i exit the mech, not when it got destroyed.

I should also mention, I have the longer lasting second jump equipped for Imp, and the camera acts completely janky when this is used. Where it jerks from one position to another (low then higher placed position) if you double jump then glide using the left stick sprint. Something the Devs need to address.

@tristkiss I've had this issue multiple times with various characters. Not just the imp. It will freeze for about 2 seconds. No control input at all. I figured it had something to do with ping issues combined with something on the server or software end of things.

Trying to take down plants' impenetrable defenses, I get this strong impulse to eject my mech with its impactful self destructing ability to finish them all...Alas, surviving after that is an impossibility as I freeze, standing there doing nothing. My mind implodes as I get called, by my teammates for standing there doing nothing, an impostor.I implore you to improve this PopCap...*continues to finish his shrimp salad*Don't ask me why I did it... lol

@newbebop I know to this day, on GW2 I'll be in a match, and sometimes in the heat of battle the entire game will freeze for about 3-4 secs, I tend to die at those time. But BFN is a new type of freeze where it's just me frozen and I can see everything moving in the game.

@tristkiss My imp freezes EVERY time I use mech escape, it's awful! There are a couple of threads about it in the bug report pages

Yes. Not every time but it has happened here and there.

@ToastedSarnie I'm also noticing sometimes when I either use my missile attack, or start taking heavy fire from plants while in the mech, I'll kind of freeze up too. It's weird. Have you ever had this?

I'll try to record it next time it happens.

@Iron_Guard8 It's not every single time for me either.

@tristkissI don't think so, but tbh I like using imp more than mech & usually only use the mech as a last resort to clear out large numbers of plants. There's usually so much going on it would have to be pretty major for me to notice! I'll try & look out for more problems as I'm levelling it atm
Also, l have the 2nd jump upgrade & don't have any problems with that. I'm Xbox btw.
