@PhilChis Good news, F8RGE said they have this issue on the repulsor cannon being worked on. Maybe on the first patch of december it'll be fixed already.I don't have the link to this here, but as soon as I find it I'll bring it here

Thanks Ataashi. I appreciate your help. The only issues I'm experencing in Arcade right now are this issue with the Repulsor Cannon and some zoom issues with the Heavy Class along with the ongoing Friendly A.I. bot issue where A.I. team mates will only spawn and respawn as Assault Class Troopers when playing 2 vs 2 or 4 vs 4 in Team Battle. Also, it looks like the A.I. pathing issue in the Rancor pit in Jabba's Palace has kind of been fixed, they are no longer going and standing in the Rancor pit, but unfortunately, I have found enemies just standing around in random places. This may still need to be looked at. As always I think all of us really appreciate your help and time.

Hey @PhilChis Thanks for reporting this! 🙂 We're going to take a look at it. /Ataashi

After the latest update, this issue is still ongoing. The specialist's repulsor cannon ( usually the first shot ) does not cause any damage.

Yes, this is still ongoing. The repulsor has some problems with hit detection (also in multiplayer).The same issue was stated here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Repulsor-Cannon-s-bug/m-p/7251124#M20551You have to stand really close to the opponent to make it hit. Don't know if this is always the case because I never used it.Every opponent is one shotted, no matter the health. This is by design because AI cannot ragdoll.For no reason, sometimes the shots do not connect. If the 1st shot of the repulsor cannon is not connected and does nothing to an enemy well within range, then the 2nd shot will always kill the AI, also if you are aiming completely off at the other side of the map.If the 2nd shot of the repulsor cannon is not connected, then the ability goes into cooldown normally.

Yes, it is broken and completely useless now. Very sad considering it was literally my all-time favorite star card in the game! Most of my YouTube channel (XP-8 TIM) was dedicated to getting hilarious kills with this thing before it stopped working. EA, please fix my favorite star card!

As of August 7th 2019 the Repulsor Cannon's first shot is still not working. The first shot rarely if ever causes damage.

It never really did much damage. It's supposed to knock people down. Does it still not do that?

Still the same as always. My video on it is still up to date. Nothing has changed.

Another update and still no fix. It's almost laughable that they will spend time fixing a hero's eye color, but will not fix an issue with gameplay. It's always heroes, heroes, heroes....

Still no fix to this in the latest patch.
