Bow charging affects stealth?

Just had a FT tell me post match that every time I charged up my bow, they could see me. Is this a thing?

I probably still have the video and can post later unless someone else has evidence otherwise?

There’s a bug that causes the predator to uncloak when using the bow. It’s happened to me several times.

That makes more sense. A couple of us did some mythbusting and debunking on cloak here if interested.

Thats suspicious, but i am pretty sure theres a logical explanation for it, without some graphicerrors or something like that. If you play some games you know the most Predators are on the roofs at this location, so you know where you should looking at, but as i said if he didnt saw you earlier its impossible to directly see you. You had to move into the trainyard too, so it could be possible he saw you while this. As Recon with running perk i am mostly the “leader of my gang” and be in a hig…
