Heavy Metal Bug

Product: Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
Please specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox One S
Please provide your Xbox gamertag or PSN ID. (Optional) ElectixNova
In what game mode did the bug occur? Everywhere
Summarize your bug Basically, a bug with Captain Deadbeard with the 'Heavy Metal' upgrade. The whole idea of this upgrade is to give a fully charged spyglass shot as soon as using the ability 'Anchors' Away'. However, sometimes after using the ability with the upgrade, it doesn't give the max charge, and instead just charges normally. In addition, after shooting the max shot when the Heavy Metal upgrade isn't working, the spyglass shot is then stuck and bugged at the 'Level 1' charge of the Spyglass Shot, so the charge can't increase meaning his spyglass shot only does 4 damage. The only way to relieve this is to respawn.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try using the Heavy Metal upgrade on Captain Deadbeard. It happens anywhere really.
Which character were you playing when the bug occurred? Captain Deadbeard
What upgrades had you equipped with this character? Heavy Metal and Long Barrel.
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)

I don't have any videos sorry. If someone has experienced this, perhaps they could attach a short clip because I can't do it myself.

    I think it occurs when you use an ability after using anchors away or using anchors away with heavy metal then not zooming once then use anchors away again if that makes sense. This also occurs on ps4. Also thanks for making this I did not to go through the trouble 🙂

    @PvZfan121 Hmm interesting. Sometimes it just happened randomly, and the only way to relieve it was to respawn. It's very annoying lol.

    @Shadowphinx101  I have a question for you, if that’s fine with you. I’m very close to getting my Captain Deadbeard to master. Would you suggest me using the Heavy Metal upgrade on one of my Captain Deadbeard builds? I know it’s kind of bugged at the moment, but maybe I could try it.

    @TheSprinter85 Yes, I would suggest it 100%. It is sooo good to do trickshots and killthe odd nightcap quickly. The fully charged shot only goes if u use it i.e. if u reload ur weapon or use the scattershot it doesn't take the fully charged spyglass shot away. It is bugged at times, but very good for deadbeard considering the reload time of Anchors' Away. As to the other part of the build, I put Long Barrel which helps him significantly close range, but Powder Keg works aswell. But because Deadbeard is long-range, I don't use the Barrel Blast that often, unles to get away, but it's ur choice.
