Not sure if this started happening before the Grand Soiree Event, but everytime I try pinging while using Gibraltar marks my position instead, if I'm ADS-ing. I suspect this happens because of some small changes to his gun shield, maybe its hitbox was enlarged a little bit to work better on 3rd person. If I don't ADS, ping works fine. Also, didn't notice this bug on other legends.

@DoYaSeeMe Hey, it did indeed come with the last patch, that and Legends pinging their own knockdown shield when activated. It's in and being tracked, hopefully with a fix soon.
