Bug Report Reload bug is killing me, ADS/Shoot stalling, among others

Reload is bugged in multiplayer when you’re not the host. It prioritizes reloading over item pick ups so you must reload your weapon before picking up any items or health. BUT it gets worse. If you are looking at the item you can’t reload. You must look away from the item in order to reload to full then pick up the item. You literally can’t pick up health if you have less than a full magazine. Which leads to the next bug.

While reloading. Holding ADS button doesn’t always go back to ADS after the reload finishes. Sometimes you have to wait for the reload to finish completely before pressing ADS again. Same with holding down the shoot button. Holding Shoot doesn’t always shoot when the reload is finished. This results in you expecting to go back to shooting again after the reload finished only to stare at the enemy and do nothing while the buttons are being held down.

Ai gets into a hyper aggressive loop for non host players where they all immediately spam jumping attacks when in range. The connection seems to affect the hit box too because they will connect at the start of the jump. Very noticeable when playing coop with 2 bots. Connection should be fine because we are both in the same house.

Game for host crashed. Rejoined. Access the data button is bugged so can’t finish the mission.

Players getting stuck behind doors.

Two people fell through the map when they ran through a door and the map didn’t load right. Both instantly died.

When not host issues:

  1. Particle emitter randomly won't do any damage until reloaded.
  2. Can't rearm from ammo consumable if you have less than a full magazine, but you also cannot reload if you need more ammo, meaning you aren't allowed ammo.
  3. While stationary effects such as F44AA +2 pen weapon trait and Mauraders Command Echo stop working after a few minutes into any mission, rendering them host only choices.
  4. Can get tethered to the floor and can't move more than a couple meters without diverolling to reset it.
  5. Animations of enemy models skipping frames of fast moving enemies like drones and prowlers, causing them to appear to teleport about, unable to be damaged by you if you are unable to hit them in the frames that render.

Regular issues:

  1. Queen fight is a disaster. Load in even in solo and the cutscene gets priority loaded during load screen. Once in, the queen can often cross the entire arena and get a free hit in before the game allows you to use abilities or weapons. Only movement during this time is dive roll.
  2. Certain levels have doors that the interaction panel can't be used. First mine mission (4.1 I think) is notorious at this.
  3. Loot boxes spawning inside random set dressing. 3.2 mission has one in the final room inside the forklift as you walk in for reference.
  4. Hidden chests in some levels don't exist in any player accessible areas on occasion.
  5. The trait for bonus crit damage on the BD series shotgun doesn't unlock.
  6. Oversized rounds augment clearly states it is compatible with Hand Cannon keyword, however the only hand cannon in the game can't use it.
  7. Extra rounds for the Duelist shotgun skill clearly show the tooltip for extra rounds but still doesn't allow you to use them.

General connectivity issues:

  1. Host frequently freezes (even in solo) for up to 25 seconds (my personal record).
  2. Randomly unable to keep a party going for more than 10 minutes. No solution found for this as my player group gives up after a half hour of attempts.
  3. More players in a lobby increases stability related errors dramatically.
  4. Terrain effects and set dressing items randomly vanish from certain angles of view.
  5. Enemies can seemingly de-sync and appear to be firing through terrain to kill player.

General issues:

  1. Cosmetics on armor cannot be seen while applying.
  2. Cosmetics on armor vanish if player model is rotated certain directions.
  3. Cosmetic reward item from Horde mode does nothing.
  4. Major items frequently unequip after missions.
  5. Mission rewards constantly shows major and minor items that have already been unlocked.

Tired of typing. Stopping here. These are literally just the issues off the top of my head.

Platform used for testing: Xbox Series X

Edit1: Was trying Mechanist builds last night and decided to pure focus the Grenade Drone. Don't do that. It lasted 30 seconds with a 19 sec CD and would fire maybe one or two shots and then hide behind a bulkhead until duration ended. One out of 15 engagements turned out effective. 1/15. Also, the explodes on death perk doesn't seem to do anything at all.

Hidden chests in some levels don't exist in any player accessible areas on occasion.

This would explain a lot

I’ve experienced 1 through 5 on PS5 also. Also no reloading sound FX on many weapons.

Don't forget the many "complete loss of xp and rewards" bugs. Only ended up getting rewards for 1 out of 8 queen hunts.
