Yup, keeps happening to me, at least once or twice every mission, Click the button, die to an unavoidable burster, even though I should have gained yallow toughness to survive. These days I just spam the keybind.
Combined ith the faulty weapon swapping, it just makes Veteran untrustworthy. Sad, it’s my favorite class still.
I’ll add to the choir here. It’s definitely an issue with Zealot’s relic as well, and more nasty at that - if you spam the key preemptively and the ult does go through, you’ll end up immediately cancelling it.
