When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) yes
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? Activating octane stim (tactical) or bloodhound ultimate increases mouse sensitivity drastically. This is actually a problem for game consistency. Also, Field of View (FOV) drastically increases for both characters. This is annoying, but not game-breaking like surprise sensitivity changes.
What should be happening instead? NOTHING, there should be no change in sensitivy
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? load into game, stim as octane or ult as bloodhound. Record changes in mouse movement to in-game rotation.
A new bug in season six:

This is a huge issue for me. I would love to see some attention paid to it. I am unable to use Bloodhound's ultimate.

It is happening to me to and I would like to have the same sensitivity as the normal movement. Also I want to know if this is a glitch or not. Thank you.

This is neither a bug nor a game feature because it doesn't change your sensitivity at all, only the FoV. I went into firing range, tested both, even with Bangalore, It is just your FoV and making you faster technically NEEDING a faster DPI if you are strafing.
