Hey there @BrainNoWorkGood,

 

This is an issue related to Replicators and Mobile Respawn Beacons.

(In certain cases it is also triggered by deathboxes)

 

Though worry not, they're aware and investigating the issue:

The best bet is to avoid Replicators and Mobile Respawn Beacons as these can result in this bug manifesting.

 

If you do get this bugged state, you can try these things to see if it fixes it:

  • Use a replicator again
  • Emote with your legend
  • Restart the game (Sometimes it transfers to other matches)
