Ultimate Accelerant Broken For Some Legends
Some legends (Pathfinder, Mirage & Occasionally Octane) behave adversely when attempting to use an Ultimate Accelerant using the L1 & R1 quickuse feature or the equivalent shoulder buttons on any controller. Pathfinder being the worst and straight up not being able to use the quickuse feature without spamming the buttons or wasting his grapple beforehand. It straight up makes Ultimate Accelerant's near unusable without going into his inventory. Mirage on the other hand wastes his tactical when attempting to use one, but the accelerant does indeed pop, so not as broken. Octane if timed correctly or rather, "incorrectly" causes his stim to pop as well as the Accelerant, similar to Mirage but the window is a little larger.
It's worth noting that the Legends tactical ability needs to be available and not on cooldown for this to happen, for obvious reasons.
Steps to recreate
- Pick Mirage or Pathfinder
- make sure your Ultimate is on cooldown
- Pick up and use an Accelerant using the L1 & R1 buttons on Playstation (LB & RB on Xbox)
The result with Pathfinder is the Accelerant doesn't work unless you repeat the button press 3 times in quick succession.
The result with Mirage is that his tactical triggers in tandem with the Accelerant.
The expected result is that the Accelerant should begin to charge without wasting either abilities or having to spam those buttons or waste Pathfinders grapple just to use an Accelerant.
I have posted before about this, many years ago, since this bug has existed for the majority of the time game has existed for. Which is quite a while. Hopefully with this new forum and the new season having just been released, this might finally be the season it gets fixed.
There's also another related issue regarding Alter's UI element being stuck on the screen in combination with the Ultimate Accelerant but I'll make another post about that.
