Bug with 2 players being same character - Revenant

★★★ Newbie

Product: Apex Legends

Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 4
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? xXMiss92CullenXx
Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible.
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)? Octane
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)? Pathfinder
Where did the issue occur? In a match
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. The Harvester
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Fighting
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? Yes
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? 10+
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 06.02.20 16:16GMT
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? I just noticed I was being shot and pinned down by 2 Revenants on another team. I stayed to watch and they were deffo teammates on the same team but they were both Revenant. It wasn't just a appearance glitch as they both used the Revenant powers.
What should be happening instead? Obviously squads members should all be different characters
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Im not sure, I'm not sure if someone has somehow hacked it so they can do it, or if it's a randomly occurring bug/glitch. I'd hazard a guess that you be able to find it eventually by just playing games. It's only happened once so far, but I know others who play the game more will probably encounter it more frequently. I did try to take a video however I only succeeded in a very bad screenshot...

The only reason I call it a game breaking bug, despite the low frequency is that it can obviously make an entire team very OP with the ability to spam ultimate abilities, having been on the receiving end of 2 Revenants ability to dish it's pretty much impossible to fight. If somehow all 3 members manage to become the same character it could be incredibly game breaking.

Hey @Stephy1506

 

I know you said this seems to be infrequent, but is there any way you could grab us a video of this happening? I understand if you weren't recording at the time it happened, but if you catch it again a video would be really helpful. 

 

Thanks!
