UPDATE- this is still an issue after the Jan 29 patch. Smoke does not smoke when deployed.

In 20% of the time with me

Same here. It happens most often when you launch the smoke close to where you are, which causes it to have a large bounce. It seems like something related to its bouncing trips this bug. Bummer is I'm always shooting it close to me, so this bug is like 50% with me. I just switched to the hand smoke grenades, because the launcher is borderline useless with this for me.

Glad I'm not the only one. I wonder how many times WE SEE smoke on our screen but it doesn't deploy for the enemy and we get killed? I know when it doesn't deploy for me I get killed often....

Confirmed that this is still an issue after last patch.

[Adman_Tor]

This bug is STILL in the game....

Pretty sure this is a server side bug and the smoke actually does deploy, you just don't see it (at least, that's what was happening a while ago)

I also face this problem about 20% of the times I fire the smoke granade launcher. Classic PS4 here. Amazing how this is STILL a problem today. DICE, please.
