    [BUG][XBOX] Sync shot drones do not deploy reliably

    Hello, Ubisoft,

    When I tap LB to deploy a sync shot drone, it does not always work.

    Sometimes I have to press LB to get it to work, but sometimes that causes an already deployed sync shot drone to fire. This frequently causes a "kill witnessed" to occur and my stealth is broken.

    Hi, MountainRiderAK!

    With this issue, can you please tell me if you still have to press LB after resetting your keymapping for your controller to default?

    Hello, UbiDork,

    I really don't understand your question. I haven't changed the controller settings, but I went in and checked, and there isn't an option to reset to default. Are you talking about on PC? I'm on Xbox.

    Apologies for the confusion there, MountainRiderAK.

    Does this happen in PvE & PvP or just one specific mode?

    Sync Shot Issue

    I can confirm this. While aiming at an enemy, I find myself having to repeatedly press the LB button just to get a drone to deploy. In Wildlands marking an enemy with sync shot was instantaneous. It's the complete opposite with Breakpoint at the moment.

    I have this also at times. On xbox and playing single player only. It is not all the time but when it happens i am aiming at a target and pressing LB multiply times before the drone will deploy.

    Here's what I have found while playing GRB. You have to hit lb to equip sync shot drones, then you have to hit lb once more for each target. If you put away drones before marking three targets you will have to hit lb twice to mark again. Once to equip, once to mark.
    Also. Make sure you can see targets distance away before attempting to mark.

    Clear as mud?

    For me it was when i first used the sync shot drone i hadn't put it away and gotten it out and the target distance was showing of who i was aiming at. It wasn't just twice it was repeatedly needed pressing LB maybe 5-10 times until it finally clicked into life and decided to work again.

    Yeah, this is what I experienced. I tried tapping LB, holding LB, I never could figure out the magic incantation. It really seemed like the drone deployed after a random amount of tapping and holding. And holding LB too long would cause an already deployed drone to fire at the worst possible time.
