I've noticed this ever since launch with Han's detonite charge, but only in Arcade mode, so I didn't report it. But for a while now, this has appeared in multiplayer matches. Also, this happens regardless of game mode.

  • @felker_s I can confirm this also happens on PC often. I think it is a delay on the server for registrating kills, because the explosion always comes first and a couple of seconds next the eliminations are registrated.
