Dog Tag doesn't always work

I have set it to One-Click and keybinded it to my MB5 and i just played an Havoc 22 Match and sometimes it tagged the Enemy but didn’t gave the Command for my Dog to attack even when i clicked it multiple times (and yes my MB5 works)

i didn’t even know you manually direct the dog at all lol

I put everything onto mouse to keep the left hand all on WASD as much as possible.

  • Mouse scroll up - Grenade, also useful for Zealot knife throw. Even spin for multi knife throw.

  • Mouse scroll down - One scroll tab is tag, spin for double tag/attack dog. Also you can spin it across horizon to multi tag enemies in distance for recon.

  • Mouse 4 - Crouch

  • Mouse 5 - Weapon activation

So then I can slide and activate weapon at same time with right thumb press of 2 side buttons.

Yeah they said they fixed broken tagging bugs in the latest hotfix.

So naturally it’s been even worse since then for me :slight_smile:

Ye…but doesn’t help with my Post lol

I got Weapon Special on MB4 and the Tag/Dog on MB5. Used to have it on MMB / Mouse Wheel but my old Mouses MMB didn’t work anymore after some time of constant clicking it

Well i can tag now with other Classes but as said sometimes now the Dog Command doesn’t work anymore. In my last Match i tried multiple times to give the Dog the command to attack an Enemy but it just didn’t do it; most of the time it did work but like 20% or so of the time it didn’t which was quite annoying when you want him to target an Sniper/Bomber or Scab Gunners

By default you have to double-click the Tag-Keybind on an Elite/Special/Boss and then the Dog attacks it but you can set it so you only have to click it once

Sometimes tagging works just fine on other classes, sometimes it stops working mid match, sometimes only the dog command stopps working, sometimes tagging anything FULLY stopps working.

Never had this issue prior to this latest hotfix where rarely the tog command wouldn’t work a handfull of times

You can test this BS out in the meatgrinder RIGHT NOW.
Sometimes I can’t tag any enemies, sometimes only specials but not elites etc.

They are having the ArrowHead syndrom with this one.
If it says it’s been fixed in the patchnotes, you can be sure it’s not and even expect it to be more broken.

Yeah just played an Auric MS and the Dog Command worked just fine there

There is a bug report in the bugs section with this issue. It’s a known problem.

Good for you I guess(?)

I’m genuinely curious; why did you reply with that?

You said sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. So i replied in addition to my OG Post saying it didn’t work sometimes in a Havoc Match that in my next Match it worked again w/o problems.

Just wanted to add it to the conversation as a whole of it working, then not, then again etc.

Ye but it didn’t show me that as an related / similar Post when i was making mine

But good to know that they are aware of it. I didn’t want to post this into the Technical / Bug Section because i have to click more Stuff there to post lol

If you don’t take the keystone that lets your Mastiff auto target elite melee, and or elite ranged, then yes manual tag is best.
