Hi @PsyhiX69 and thanks for reporting this.

Thanks also for the video, I'm not sure what went wrong. (that's some broad monitor though lol nice)

If this happens to you again, please report here again!

Basically once in a while when Octane is using his stim it blocks some actions. Like I am running (after using stim) and now I want to pull out my weapon and I can't. It usually is like that during the fights.

On the video You see I try to repeatedly punch downed enemy as soon as I can. And after second punch I could not punch him again for few seconds.

Similar thing happens with reloading. Sometimes it does not work for few seconds. Or with pulling out a gun. It does not work for few seconds.

I have noticed it happens while using stim.

This happened again. I couldn't reload my gun. Died.

Here is entire thread about this bug : https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Octane-stim-bug/m-p/9251318#M35707 

Looks like Respawn just don't care to fix it. It has been 6 mc !

THIS IS STILL A THING!!! Please fix this stupid bug!

I found i old clip where you can see it: https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/c96cu0/you_cant_melee_with_octane_if_he_is_releasing_h...

This is still happening ! Video : https://youtu.be/BPiuZ9QE1s0

After reloading of the spitfire I couldn't shoot so I switched to 301

@DYSPROssium this happens 100% of the time when the stim ends. From the start of the "pull out stim and discard" animation to about a second after that animation ends you are not able to melee.

It's not even a once in a while thing, it's every single stim on all platforms. Suuuuper aggravating :/

This is happening over and over again. How long should we wait for a fix - this bug has been reported numerous times and exists practically since the game launch !

Ikr. It's almost as if EA doesn't care.
