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.
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.
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).
