Power Sword Draw Animation Cancelled by Sprinting or Sliding
I would like to report an animation bug affecting the Power Sword in Apex Legends.
When the Power Sword is drawn while walking, it plays a specific walking draw animation. However, if the player starts sprinting or sliding before the animation finishes, the draw animation is immediately cancelled instead of transitioning correctly.
This makes the animation look broken and inconsistent.

The two videos have received over 52,000 views combined, showing that this issue has attracted significant attention from the player community.
To reproduce the issue, equip the Power Sword, start walking, and switch to the Power Sword so that the walking draw animation begins. Before the animation finishes, start sprinting or sliding. The walking draw animation will be cancelled immediately.
Expected behavior:
Starting a sprint or slide should allow the draw animation to finish or transition smoothly into the appropriate sprint or slide animation.
Actual behavior:
Sprinting or sliding abruptly cancels the walking draw animation, causing a visibly broken animation transition.
Platform: PC
Please investigate this animation transition issue and confirm whether it is already being tracked.
Thank you.
