BB-8 Cable Spin Bug

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug In co-op, (possibly other game modes too but haven’t tested) with BB-8, sometimes the cable spin ability glitches and even after the ability times out or I cancel it, the animation will stop but the last place it was used will act like I never stopped. It was still damaging/ killing players/ai long after the ability was no longer in use and it could be game breaking in certain situations.

What is your time zone? EST (IET) - GMT - 5:30
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? With BB-8, use the cable spin ability, and sometimes the glitch will happen.
What happens when the bug occurs? The ability doesn’t fully cancel out, and the last place you used it will constantly dish out damage and kill enemies standing within the space.
What do you expect to see? When the ability time is over or is cancelled, no more damage should be dealt out, and it shouldn’t happen where user isn’t using it.

At the opening, I used cable spin earlier, but I noticed i was getting kills when I was no where near enemies, and when I looked at where I last used cable spin, I saw ai enemies dying and taking damage as if I was there using cable spin constantly.

Here’s a link to the video on google drive:

  • The footage shows the issue perfectly.

    @BluRaptor_Jen Do you have any idea what kight have happened at that spot to make your Cable Spin get stuck? I had reports about this BUG already but when trying to reproduce it in Arcade I couldn't do it. People suggested you have to be interrupted while triggering the ability for it to bug like this.

    I encountered this bug in Co-Op tonight on Ajan Kloss. In my case, the bug triggered when the auto player-controlled Kylo Ren hit my BB-8 with his Freeze ability just as I had pressed L1 & R1 to activate the Cable Spin ability. From what I could tell, it seemed as though the damage box for the Cable Spin ability was created even though the attack itself was canceled out by the Freeze ability. The damage box for Cable Spin stayed in place even though I rolled BB-8 away from the area where I had attempted to activate Cable Spin, and remained in place damaging and defeating enemies until I used the Cable Spin ability again.

  • This is my favorite bug ever I’m a BB8 user love when this happens sooooooooooo funny
