@Shadowphinx101 Unfortunately this is a well known glitch which PopCap missed to remove in time. For now you can only report those players and wait for a fix. If you don't care about public PVP in Giddy Park you can switch to a private lobby.
In the last few days every time I load into giddy park there is at least one invulnerable player, normally and imp or space cadet. It's getting ridiculous, and seriously putting me off the game when this has been an issue for months and nothing done about it.
- @EC2895 I agree, I've been taking a break from Bfn because of this, and in the meantime, my server is private until I know this won't happen anymore ☹️
- @PineapplePiano I've been private for months & it's such a shame because it was a friendly, fun feature in the beginning & a good way of making friends.
I agree more needs to be done in-game to counter cheats, hacks & harassment. I think Xbox & PS are kind of limited in what they can do.
Imp, Space Cadet, and Acorn all seem to be able to do this. I'm unsure how (though that's a good thing, I have no desire to learn it), but it can be really frustrating. Especially since more and more people seem to have figured out the trick. Even if a lobby is going well, if you get a kill streak on the wrong person, they'll just switch to their invincible character and camp outside the spawn.
What's worse, is that after this last update, a few people seem to have figured out a way to target allies in the hub using Sap Trap. I was checking the kiosk by the portal to choose my game mode, when all of a sudden I'm dead from a guy hitting me with Super Sap Trap. Standard weapons don't do anything, just the sap trap itself, but it's really frustrating.
Thankfully, although I frequent PVP (I'm a turf takeover man, myself) I have yet to encounter these glitches in any form in PVP. I only tend to use Giddy Park if I have less than 1k XP needed to promote a character, but it's still something that needs a fix ASAP, and preferably a way to report the offending players that doesn't require a ton of steps.
@Thorgonator I’ve yet to see this outside of Giddy Park and think you’re safe in all other PvP, so far as these glitches are concerned.
EDIT: phone
@spIash_damage Unfortunately as of now I have encountered the bug twice in Turf Takeover. One player appeared to be doing it unintentionally, while the other was specifically targeting allies. Nothing today, so maybe it was hotfixed, but unfortunately the sap trap bug did indeed effect multiplayer.
@Thorgonator I did wonder how I lost almost all my health after spawning into the game as a cactus yesterday. Explains whey there were 3 acorns takingbit in turns to transform into oak and sap trap each other!
Can't say I've noticed any invincible characters or lack of them but didnt play much so can't be sure. They do seem to have stopped garlic and parrot drones being able to enter the opposing teams safe zones in giddy park though so no more pesky wizards to deal with at least!
I really hope the developers prevent Sap Traps from vanquishing other teammates. It is very annoying to deal with, and I try to stay away from them when possible so they don't decide to vanquish me for some random reason. Friendly fire is something that annoys me a lot, I really like this game as it is team-based and you can't damage yourself or teammates, in most circumstances anyway. I hope this gets patched soon! 🤞🙂
