Bedlam Raider Veteran attack unable to escape/always fatal

Product: STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug Bedlam Raider Veteran has red/unblockable attack where it grabs player in its weapon and electrocutes/immobilises you. Appears as though it should be possible to escape from/break the grab but for me I remain stuck in the weapon and slowly bleed out over 15 - 20 seconds. No on screen prompt appears to escape (e.g. click mouse/hit keyboard button). On some occasions I am released from the immobilisation after a seemingly random amount of time. Happens for every Raider Veteran I have encountered on different planets/locations etc.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Get hit by red attack from Bedlam Raider Veteran
What happens when the bug occurs? As above - stuck in electrocution animation and unable to escape; always ends up being fatal.
What do you expect to see? Unclear if this attack is supposed to always be fatal but I suspect not as not a hugely powerful enemy and other similar grab style attacks often have a way of escaping. Would expect on screen prompt to click mouse/hit a keyboard button to escape this immobilisation.

Hey guys, am playing on PC via the EA app
There's an enemy called the Bedlam Raider Veteran (shows up on tactical guide as Raider Veteran)
It has a red attack where it grabs you in its pronged staff and electrocutes/immobilises you
When this happens to me there is no prompt to escape from it (e.g. clicking mouse buttons/tapping a key) and it just slowly bleeds my health until I die
Is this happening to other people? Is this suppsoed to be an unescapable/unsurvivable attack or is a glitch?

The fact I'm just stuck and die very slowly makes it feel like a glitch but appreciate it might just be the developers wanting to have some fun.

This happens for all types of this enemy I have encountered in different locations...

Summarize your bug Cannot get out of enemy quick time event during combat.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? you have to let enemy to grab you to start quick time event
What happens when the bug occurs? When the bug occurs the only way to progress is to wait when your HP goes down and kills you.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see a hint of what button should free me from this animation

I have a bug that doesn't let me get out of situation when the enemy is zapping me and the quick time event suppose to break it. There is no hint of what button should I smash. I tried everything and there is no way of freeing yourself from this. One time after I entered menu and start to look some bound shortcuts and when I left the menu I was unstock but the enemy stood there wilh the same animation, not moving.

Sometimes when I randomly smashing buttons I manage to get out but the enemy is standing in place and I cannot even interract with him. Like on the attached screenshot

I have encountered this as well, and found an unintended way to escape it after button mashing my entire keyboard.
You will need to switch your stance and press dodge at the same time
For some reason, switching stance gives you a few frames of control, during which you can heal with BD-1 or escape the pin by dodging. Hope this helps until the glitch is fixed.

I've found that if you are able, switching stances and inputting the jump command (you'll have to wiggle your stances while also inputting the jump command) let's you escape.
It's entirely unintended as the raider will (sometimes) stand there stabbing the air with his lightning staff and be locked in that animation until you hit it.

But hey, it's a workaround.

I'm playing on Xbox, and I'm pretty sure I can escape this one by mashing B. Cal should be able to kick himself free.

I can confirm this bug. It appears exactly as described by OP.

Yes, I can confirm as well. Given how long the animation is, I guarantee there supposed to be a QTE there, to allow to take some damage but escape the grapple. (just like those big Yeti like enemies, the Mogu, they grab you, but you can cut off their arm, still take some damage, but at least you escape the grip and not eat the whole damage)

Hi all - I established this may be linked to having changed my keybinds.

On resetting keybinds and getting hit by this same attack it gives a prompt to spam the tab (dodge) button. For whatever reason the prompt doesn't appear for whatever button you may have changed the keybind to.
I guess still a bug but at least there is a workaround.
