Bug #12383

Character Movement Lock During Bio Booster Selection and Upgrade Negotiation

Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	a...s@betahub.io on June 7, '26

Due date:
Reported for:	RC:EA:00.07.12 Auto

Steps to Reproduce

1. Join game as Guardian and acquire the platform gun.
2. Call REPD to the unlocked Bio Booster.
3. Read the Bio Booster options while the team gathers in the zone and the Expenite Upgrades start triggering.
4. Select the Bio Booster option (e.g., 'enemies in 6m move 10% slower') before entering the Expenite Upgrade negotiation screen.
5. Proceed with the Upgrade Negotiation, exit the screen, and complete the Bio Booster character animation.
6. My character holds up the selected gun but cannot move or jump.
7. Confirm it is not a keyboard issue as keybinding to select weapons/tools and performing actions like saluting or calling REPD still work.
8. Notice my character is almost clipped inside the REPD and the BioBooster prop.
9. Switch to the platform gun and build 3 platforms at my feet, raising my character slightly.
10. Still cannot walk or jump.
11. Use gauntlet abilities and throw grenades, but still cannot walk or jump.
12. Teammate calls REPD to a new location; I remain stuck in place.
13. Force-quit the game and then rejoin.
14. The issue is mostly fixed, and the mission is completed.
15. After rejoining the mission, the pickaxe power attack does not work for the remainder of the mission, though gauntlet abilities and regular pick swings work, just not the power attack.

Explanation

Seems to be a bug that if you (not game host) start selecting a Bio Booster option at the same time that the Upgrade Negotiations at REPD is triggering, it may lock your character movement once the animations/menus complete. Additional bug: after force-quitting and rejoining the session, besides a little lag or visual lag, almost everything worked but I could not use pickaxe power attack. Regular pickaxe swings worked, but default keybind to trigger power swing never did animation or damage. Multiple times I waited several seconds before trying again, never worked for the rest of the mission.
