I want to report a bug While playing multiplayer modes sometimes the characters become invisible (after a dead) for me and I can not use any weapon to kill or do something but everyone in the other ...

If you click 'respawn' - you get a black screen with the white 'loading' flower. You can hear the team continue to play, and as soon as the game is over - the screen changes to show the last seconds of the game (where everyone races to the fountain to be in the final shots for instance) however, it is glitchy and you can't actually see the mansion.
For anyone who gets this problem, don't quit if you are toward the end because you still get your coins. You just need to randomly press a button (to keep yourself from being booted.) It's really boring but it is much better then losing all your hard work from the start.
If you're going to randomly press a button to keep yourself from being booted, you may aswell just do this when you are able to play. Either way you're not being of any use to the team and I see no real difference; if you just want the bonus coins at the end.

I really can't blame someone wanting to keep their work. How would you feel 5th or 6th point in, get what is basically glitch booted, then lose the end game bonus coins (Which is usually totaled 3.5-4k) That is a lot to lose over a game bug. Then again I am not 100% sure what the circumstances are since I have yet to have the issue.
When it happens to me I still quit out, in the amount of time I'd get to be sitting there doing nothing on a black screen (for a consumable pack worth of bonus coins), I could have already loaded into another game actually playing. Since it's been reported to occur as early as second objective, that is alot of time to sit on a black screen not playing just to be rewarded for their work, if you can call it that.
In the end I guess it's up to each person, what would you rather have playing the game or a reward.
I've seen this happen too many times in various modes of garden warfare. After a death and you respawn it either goes to a black screen with the sunflower and you have to quit. Another one where you walk around like its in first person (which this is third) with no ability to shoot anything but be killed in the progress. The best bug I've seen is being an engineer or cactus and you throw out the drone to kill off enemies or what have you and you get shot down and the screen just sits there not returning to the character. theses 3 instances aren't platform specific and rather irritating. Many pride themselves on getting those kill streak 1st kill badges and makes it difficult to achieve when a respawn I'd say count as a death.
You get invisible character bug on multiple game modes? All the reports have always been on GnG. Do you happen to have a video of it on other game modes?
I have this on multiplayer on all multiplayer game modes and the opposing player can still attack me its starting to really * me off considering you cant see the enemy until after they had killed you.
