Hive Scum Stim crate locking out all other actions

Issue Type (Required):

Player Mechanics

Issue Description (Required):

So, sometimes in a game, I’ll go to throw down my stim crate and the damn thing just freezes out all other options. I can’t put it down, I can’t switch to other weapons. If I load back into that game, it will do it again when I throw down the stim crate.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

I don’t know how to replicate this. But once it starts happening, it will keep happening even if I load back in.

No, I don’t use mods

It happens when you get stunned in the act of putting the crate down. Sprinting cancels the animation, and sometimes you’re able to place it down again. It happened to me in the clip in my post, then again in the next game when i dodged over a small ledge, then again in the next game when i got hit while putting the crate down. It’s actually remarkably common.

Yes, exactly. It’s weird, because it only seems to happen to me in particular games. I’m fairly certain it’s happened on that map for me as well.

I finished all the chem crate penances, but only had it happen twice. Glad you got some footage! how often does it happen for you?

very regularly

especially if you save your stim crate until you need it, in which case it very quickly becomes almost every time you deploy it. it makes the booby trap node completely useless cause you can’t use it when you really need it.

Had this happen to me tonight, didn’t realize what triggered it because it’s the first time its happened in many crate drops. But it was likely getting hit. I kind of panicked because I couldn’t change to a weapon to block, change to a grenade, etc., and the thing went on cd without even deploying. But then it resolved on its own seemingly after a little while (5-30s; my sense of time is terrible in havoc).

Worth mentioning it appears to be on cooldown in the UI, but it’s actually not. It’s still usable. It just looks like it’s permanently stuck at 0%

Also - just joined the psykhanium and tried to put down a stimm supply, and it just did the same thing.
