I just tested about 10 different types of heavy weapons with a friend, and we discovered that the sound bug is now persistent and ALWAYS triggered whenever you use/hold the following heavy guns:
- Minigun
- Gauss Minigun
- Gatling Laser
- Gatling Plasma
It seems like the problem affects only heavy guns with the spin animation. Legacy doesn't matter, the test was done with non-legacy weapons. The weapons also appear to shake non-stop, like they have a stuck engine inside of them. I tested other non-spin heavy guns like a .50 cal, light machinegun, plasma caster, launchers, and they are not being affected by this bug. Here's an example of what this bug looks & sounds like in case you're not familiar.
This bug happens very often ever since Update 26 went live but the carrier/user cannot see their weapon shaking or hear the engine-like sound bug, only other players do. The bug stops when the user starts firing the weapon, it's only active when hiddle (being held).
I hope this information helps to track the issue and get it fixed! My poor ears, I had to turn the game sound to 3% on yesterday's stream, because this bug was everywhere affecting so many players.
