I’m in a match and get downed by either AI or the Predator. Teammate revives me and I go to use a first aid kit in one of the buildings. It’s highlighted in yellow, indicating that I can use it, but when I hold down the square button to do so, my action wheel to switch weapons, throw down ammo, or use other perks pops up and does not go away.
I can cycle through all of the action options, but the wheel stays up. From that point on, I can fire my weapon but cannot reload. I can move, but it’s limited; I’m unable to turn around, navigate around trees, buildings, etc.
I cannot switch to my knife to parry, use stims, or any of my perks. This happens to me only after being revived by someone. If I’m low on health and use a first aid kit, it works with no issues and I can play on.
The first time this happened I thought I’d just goofed with which buttons I was hitting, the second time I switched controllers, and the third time I made a deliberate choice to search for an in-game first aid kit to verify the issue. It’s definitely there; wondering if anyone else has come across this happening.
If so, does it happen the same way for you or are there other sequences of events that lock you up this way?
If it helps I’m on PS5.
Locking up after being downed
This has happened to me, but not from being downed.
A few nights ago I was picking up some veritanium and as soon as I finished holding square, the wheel came up with all the things you can say, need ammo, get to the exfil, etc. No matter what I did it wouldn’t go away. I was stuck facing the direction I was when the wheel came up. I could move side to side and backwards, but I was still looking straight ahead with the wheel up on my screen. Moving the left stick to the left, right, forward or back, moved both my FT member and the selection on the wheel.
I was able to fire my guns, though I couldn’t switch between primary and secondary. I could use my sub items as well, stim, etc, but I was just locked into facing one direction.
