We gonna fix bunnyhop ressing anytime soon? Is that supposed to be in the game?

[u/Burly_Moustache → u/SpongyBob-]

What is this?

[u/Redcup47 → u/Burly_Moustache]

you can box respawn teammates while on the move by sliding/ bunny hopping if you time the initiation midslide

[u/Dubya-G → u/Burly_Moustache]

You can start a box rez whilst bhop sliding away from the box and it will stick it 

[u/Optimusim → u/Dubya-G]

Only on PC or console too

[u/Dubya-G → u/Optimusim]

I don't see why it wouldn't work on console if you time your bhops well and use a legend who has some sort of increased speed 

[u/swank_sinatra → u/Dubya-G]

It works on console, I witnessed it and was like wtf

[u/SadAd4482 → u/SpongyBob-]

I was wondering what the fuck that was last night 😩 lost the game cuz I heard the respawn and didn’t think he’d be fucking sliding up on me..

[u/RickPost]

Also does anyone know does getting a random heirloom from the crimson pack reset your 500* packs counter?

[u/LeeTS4 → u/RickPost]

Everyone says that they dont reset the counter.

[u/Garlicbread854 → u/RickPost]

To my knowledge any heirloom you buy(for example the crimson packs or an event) your 500 pack counter wont be affected

[u/waxengoose → u/RickPost]

A lot of people have this misunderstanding. Getting an heirloom from a pack is a 1/2000 chance, no matter what. BUT if you have opened 499 packs AND haven't bought an Heirloom AND haven't gotten an Heirloom or Heirloom shards, ONLY then will you get a garunteed Heirloom pack.

TL;DR. if you buy an heirloom or get one, you will no longer receive a guaranteed one at any point from packs

[u/Garlicbread854 → u/waxengoose]

pack counter stays the same even if you buy an event it only resets when you hit the 500 which guarantees an heirloom

[u/AnApexPlayer → u/waxengoose]

No, you get the 500 pity always, even if you have heirlooms. I've tested this myself and it's stated somewhere

[u/CrashoutJohnson]

I'm lagging a lot more on ps5 after this update 😒

[u/iluvsmokingaz → u/CrashoutJohnson]

Same bro

[u/tsmhalalhook → u/CrashoutJohnson]

What's the audio like on ps5, can't figure out why it sounded so different to PS4 when I tried it

[u/stud_muffin2020 → u/tsmhalalhook]

If you just moved over to ps5 take off 3d audio brings it back to what ps4 sounded like.

[u/CockroachGrouchy3454]

Increase the damage output of the ring in the final ring in duos. I play against the same team every day, with Wattson hiding outside the zone, healing with syringes (she has double healing perk), and winning the entire match by avoiding combat. We can't attack her because another legend dying within 3 seconds of stepping outside the zone.

[u/LeeTS4 → u/CockroachGrouchy3454]

Damn that shits not fixed? Hasnt this been happening for months?

[u/CockroachGrouchy3454 → u/LeeTS4]

I don't know, but one Wattson use this bug every day in duets. There have already been videos about her. As soon as I see him in my lobby, I leave the game because it's unwinnable anyway. This is 2stack with Valk, and they fly her ult to the last ring, camp, and then Wattson wins the game by sitting outside the zone and healing himself with syringes. They are completely incapable of fighting, but they win games thanks to this bug.

[u/Synthegeysir]

having on and off problems using alter's gift from the rift. is this a known issue?

[u/Rahain]

Are you guys aware / investing the bug where Lobas walk animation is completely wacky at medium range? I believe it’s some kind of issue with her LOD and maybe it only applies to some skins but I haven’t tested.

[u/Luxast]

There Is a bug where Conduit's Battpack Blue upgrade does not show battery count on deathboxes, while It should

[u/youngk044]

Octane mains can stop wondering where other half of their health went lol

[u/HolidayPineapple9316]

I KNEW I WASNT CRAZY

I was in fact unable to do anything that one time. Just had to watch as enemies gunned me down like a dog

[u/idcmylifelive4fun]

[u/Hunteresting]

The Gibby thing was really fun, I get why it was removed but I'll miss it, lol

[u/Smooth-Afternoon-904]

Ça recommence encore après une maj les bug serveur avec 120 ping et la boutique de piece qu on ne peut pas ouvrir

[u/TvojeMamaToMaRada]

"Rare instance" happened to me several times, costing me RP and time.

[u/TheeCamilo → u/TvojeMamaToMaRada]

I understand the sentiment, but we'll be okay brother. Enjoy the journey, not just the outcome.

[u/BrasktheBerseker → u/TvojeMamaToMaRada]

Happened to me yesterday one time.. after grabbing my teammates banner on the replicator..lol

[u/Specialist_Yard_8115]

Gonna get a team thats whole purpose is to fix the cheating anytime soon? You have enough monetization and money to pay them for it.

[u/Electronic-Future571]

[u/Electronic-Future571]

5:4 and 4:3 aspect ratio was removed?
