Unable to use Drone or Binoculars. | Forums

Could you let me know what you were doing before your skills became disabled?

We're aware of an issue where you may be unable to use skills after parachuting.

Mostly experienced it after getting out of a helicopter/plane/car, but I guess you have to get out of a heli/plane to parachute, so... idk, was never an issue in either beta, why are you adding bugs instead of fixing them? Feels like this game could have used another month or two for actual QA, the amount of bugs and issues I'm running into is staggering, even for a Ubisoft title. Not AC Unity levels of bad, but it's pretty close.

this will obviously be fixed but its obviously not a priority compared to all the other issues that are more important at the moment.

Thanks everyone for reporting this.

Seems quite a lot of actions trigger this bug, I'll make sure to pass the information on.

I noticed the bug triggered once i used the emp drone, and my friend used his explosive drone. It doesn't break it all the time but its kinda a 50/50 chance it will. Also, noticed some times after triggering the emp or explosive drone the cool down bar doesn't work almost as if the game thinks we can still use the drone, but we can't!.

i can 100% reliably reproduce this bug:

- Spawn, take helicopter, car, whatever, have EMP Drone equipped
- select an enemy vehicle (supply transport, lieutenant vehicle) as your target and travel to the vicinity
- use your emp drone to stop the vehicle
- shoot the escorts if necessary, does have no effect on the bug
- use "E" to grab the driver, use "B" or "F" to interact with the driver -> binoculars and drone won't work anymore
- not interacting with the driver (e.g. hitting "E" again to release him) won't cause the bug

hope that helps

I have been using the Stealth Drone the entire time until today and never came across this bug. But today I decided to start using the EMP Drone and this bug surfaced after detonating the EMP Drone. I fast travelled in order for the bug to go away. I've gone back to just using the Stealth Drone for now.

yup, both me and a mate got it at the same time, both doing different things- he was in heli i was on dirtbike. dying, fast travel etc etc didnt work ended up having to restart game (didnt work) then restarting uplay as is (which worked).

Just had the bug occur after using an explosive drone, which kinda is annoying when fighting of lvl4 unidad to loose the ability to spot most things

Thanks again everyone.

I'll try your method of duplicating the bug rookie.one, could be extremely useful if it works, thanks!

Same here. Haven't encountered the bug until I started using the EMP Drone.
