Reload animation preventing FT from clicking on the Chopper escape cable

This has been happening…I have the Shotgun that holds many rounds, went to catch the cable and my FT guy went into the reload animation…and it holds LOTS of rounds, so, the Chopper left me.

Reload button is the same as catching the cable button.

Please advise.

I started a similar topic before in the feedback side. Could you comment there as well, so we’ll have more visibility.

That has happened to me before also. Newest bug since patch, interaction prompt for applying mud only works the first time afterwards you have to just mud-up when you think it’s time.

Yes, a FT member getting on the Choppah is a precedent over me reloading my weapon, thats the entire reason I am standing at the cable to hook and be hoisted up.

I had the Shotgun equipped that holds like 30 rounds, and my guy just kept reloading…Maybe I should have tried to switch weapons? But point being, getting your ass evacuated is of the highest priority.

@aaronBLUEeyes

Not sure I am following you on your issue. My prompt works fine IF i actually need mud, but I use the Pig in Shit perk…

I have had this happen and duhd Feels bad man

Thats how the game has been for me sense launch… i just thought thats how it was suposed to be… 😅

lol, no, we need to get to safety, not reload out weapons.

Damnit I literally just died because of gun reloading rather than grabbing repel rope wtf! I had to reload then grab rope, had rope interaction 90% complete as I got slashed to death. If I didn’t have to reload would’ve saved a second and I would have been extracted.

Reload needs to be different than interaction some how. A second is the difference between Exfil and Death we can’t have the game bugging like this. Or prioritize every interaction over reloading because this happens at alarm stations too, mission objectives, gun crates, loot piles etc…

I dont think it needs to be different but interacting should take precedence over reloading especially at exfil, since there’s a trophy for complete 100 missions and exfil on the chopper died at least 10 times to preds who snag me at the rope

Exactly, I said that in second paragraph. That’s prob the easiest fix since we only have a finite amount of controller buttons on PS4.

Exactly, same here ps4 only has so many

I’m on PC. But I use my ps4 pro controller. So the reload button just needs to be inactive when the “hook on” icon appears. Simple adjustment for the dev team. We’re taking a couple of lines of code.
