Boba Fett Jetpack Failure

Hey @lonelysnowmann

Thank you for reporting this issue!

We're currently looking into a few problems with Boba Fett, so I will let our specialists about this one as well.

Cheers!

I have never had problem with Fett's jetpack, but today his blaster stopped working two times on Takodana for no reason and started working again only after I meleed an enemy. I guess it was quite funny seeing me run after enemy desperately trying to punch him so I could shoot him.

I just wanted to report in that this bug is still in the game. It doesn't occur a lot, but when it does, it makes Boba Fett really hard to play.

I've done a search on how many reports I could find about the bug, and there were two others in languages that I could read:

English one from December last year: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Boba-Fett-Jetpack-Failure/m-p/6506145#M2643

German one from last week: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bugmeldungen/Boba-Fetts-Jetpack-funktioniert-oftmals-nicht/m-p/7123318/highlight/false#M1414

The bug has been mentioned a few times by YouTubers, but has never gotten real attention (including on reddit and on EA Answers).

Basically, the bug has been quite unnoticed and therefore this update that the bug is life and well... still in the game. I've recorded footage of me trying to fly with Boba in HvV, but was unable to do so (while having enough fuel). After respawning, it worked properly again. It is quite hard to test the bug since it doesn't seem to happen often.

Hopefully, some of these hero bugs will get some attention and be solved in an upcoming update.

What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug Boba Fet's Jetpack randomly stops working and cannot work again unless I respawn
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? xXEatThatPieXx
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug? 11/1/2018 - 7 other times
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM)
In what game mode did the bug occur? Heroes vs. Villains
What is your time zone?
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Honestly, this is tough. It sort of randomly happens but im guessing it can be caused when theres a certain combination of me pressing a key and an enemy hero doing an ability on me. I feel like it may be when Rey uses her mind trick ability JUST as i try to use my jetpack. It could also be when i try for the hunt a milisecond after my jetpacm fuel depleted so maybe it cancels it out due to a bug in the code?
What happens when the bug occurs? Boba Fett's jetpack simply does not work. It still recharges though, and using 'For The Hunt' still has that orange glow on the jetpack icon, but nothing happens. I am stuck running around and doing combat rolls.
What do you expect to see? That there is an 100% chance that this doesnt happen again. That is asking much, but this is a character that basically doesn't work unless you are constantly using the Jetpack

Sorry for my lack of information but honestly this glitch is so random that i don't know what causes it. In a nutshell, i'll be playing Heroes vs Villians and my jetpack will suddenly stop working. Using right-click doesnt work. I have tried literally everything and I have proof this is an in-game bug and not my fault. 

I have tried minimizing the game and seeing that right-clicking works in my browser and on my desktop, i have tried opening the in-game menu, even changing the keybind for his jetpack and it it doesnt work, i've tried doing combat rolls and just waiting it out and it still doesn't work, i am basically stuck to running around. Boba Fett is pretty impossible to play as if his jetpack doesn't work. 

The only way I got it to work is if I respawn, and suddenly, it works again! Honestly this is such a weird bug. 

It either happens when Rey's mind trick or a force-push ability bugs out my jetpack just as I use it or maybe its a bug in the code in which when I try to use "For the Hunt" just as my jetpack fully depletes?

Yes, i've been having the same issue. Usually for me its just the jetpack but today his blaster stopped working. (????)

@xXEatThatPieXx I merged your report with the main conversation concerning the same issue. 

Have a nice day!

Here is another clip of someone getting the boba fett jetpack glitch. This video was made after the Grievous update

Apparently this player was not able to get his jetpack started again. I don't see any good reason why this happened here.

I've noticed that jetpacks are more glitchy when they are used just after you jump (Especially the jumptrooper of the clankers have often not-starting-jetpack on jumping). However I am not sure that this causes the Boba Fett jetpack bug.

One year since the game came out. Bug is still here.

I did not encounter this myself (yet), but here is another report of someone perfectly describing this bug on reddit.

"On PS4 , after getting knocked down in the air, I couldn’t use my jet pack for the rest of my time as him.."
