Summary

Something that has confused me is that the lock on pistol’s lock on burst feature is currently broken in creative mode & has been after the launch of chapter 5 although it worked fine when it was in the BR loot pool during chapter 5 season 1 from January 9th 2024 until the end of that season.

Steps to Reproduce

Launch creative mode, give yourself a Guard spawner, lock on pistol and team settings & inventory device.
Place the lock on pistol in the team settings and inventory device, enable infinite ammo in the device settings and then place the guard spawner and set it to a different team than the one you’re on by default. If it helps, you can also place down a mutator zone to stop the guards from moving.

Now start the game, stand closer then 50 meters to the guards, scope in on the guards with the lock on pistol and fire a few lock on bursts, some where the guards are in the center of the reticle and some other ones where the guards are off to one of the sides but not in the center of the reticle.

Expected Result

All shots from each lock on burst hit the target regardless of where they are in the circle around the reticle when scoped in.

Observed Result

The shots from the lock on burst are not arcing towards and hitting the target if it’s not in the center of your reticle.

Platform(s)

Xbox, likely all platforms

Additional Notes

The lock on pistol being in the chapter 5 season 1 loot pool didn’t effect this bug at all. It worked perfectly in BR and the other core modes while simultaneously not working correctly in creative mode.
