Is Hard Wired still bugged in TU 8.5 or am I misunderstanding backpack talent? | Forums

Switching gear pieces seems to sometimes break the talents as well. It is really hard to reproduce.

Thanks for confirming that it does work. If you hadn't I probably would have given up on the set.

To OP...maybe u should try to use 4p HW with HWbackpack and a chest (china or wyvern) with "Skilled" talent. Imo its more efficent, i can spam seekers like crazy. Give it a try!

Okay, something odd is going on. I made a new loadout with HW. Now it is working correctly.

I've had this issue happen. It seems that removing and placing pieces back on manually fixes the broken talents.

Negotiators Dilemma bugs for me as well. Sometimes after I die and respawn the talent stops working and I have to manually take off pieces and put them back to get the bonuses working again.

Orange icon is the Damage buff.
White Icon is the cooldown before you can do it again.

The cooldown with backpack is supposed to be 10s with the backpack talent but yesterday it was 20 seconds for me aswell.
I didnt change any gear between my sessions so It could be tied to the session, logout+login might fix it. Gonna test tonight.

Can some one confirm if the hard wired backpack talent is still bugged or if I'm misunderstanding how it is supposed to work. The first time I destroy or deploy a skill it refreshes my other skill. However the second time after the 10 second cool down it doesn't seem to work.It looks like it won't refresh again until the 20 second damage buff has also cooled down. To me this seems broken.

To Reproduce
Use 4 piece hard wired with chest and pack. Use cluster seekers and turret
1. throw seekers
2. deploy turret - seekers are refreshed
3. throw seekers
4. wait for 10 second cool down indicator to disappear
5. destroy turret - seekers don't refresh

Sometimes it gets bugged still and suddenly it either goes off wrong time or the cooldown last over 10 sec or it doesnt give the buff at all. What i founded helpfull was to change loadout to something else and then back to harwired and it fixes the bug.

I can confirm this.
When the backpack talent is bugging its 20sec instead of 10sec Cooldown.
I tried to fix it by logging in and out a few times and it did nothing.
Changeing gear back and forth did nothing.
Changing gear using my loadouts seems to fix it sometimes.
Just do it over and over until you see it working at the shooting range. When it works it works throughout your entire gaming session.

For me the seekers (second slot) never refresh my hive (first slot). Other way around works. I think the bug is specific to HW + seekers or HW + second slot.

Yeah. I did a simple test with seekers in the left and pulse in the right. It'll keep refreshing the pulse, but never the seekers.

Swap them around and it works fine.

So yeah, still bugged.
