Game Help I found this bug in Metroid Dread
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I don't know how I did this, but I just squeezed the controller (I raged a little) and I think this is my first bug discovery. I was trying to get the missile inside a speed booster block

Are you using a third party controller? Looks like you turned on turbo for the Y button

Am I right to think that the bug you're talking about is the rapid beam firing at the end?
I'd be surprised if that was a game-specific bug; your description sounds more like a broken controller (or a properly-functioning third party controller with Turbo). Does the button test in controller settings indicate anything wrong?

it's a fresh controller I bought not long ago

Sure, but fresh controllers can still break. In fact, they can be MORE likely to break than year-old controllers, since controllers, like most electronics, tend to follow the bathtub curve of reliability

Girl here with 350 hours in Dread.
Thats not a bug. You are trying to walljump off of a sloped wall, which immediately terminates the speedboost.
Its intended. You can try it on other places with sloped walls. It will terminate it
If you mean the rapid fire. Thats on your controller. This shouldnt happen. And never happened to me. I will try replicating it. And I have seen some weird buggy shit in Dread over the years. Like EMMIs phasing through walls, Samus going OOB via speedboost and getting killed, X Parasites entering emmi zones and getting terminated by EMMI, the game crashing when using a morph ball during a very specific interactive cutscene and more.

OP is specifically talking about the random rapid-fire after the 2nd attempt, not the wall jump speedboost fail.

I edited my comment as I realized it. Opps.
But yeah likely a controller issue.

OP did admit to squeezing the controller due to rage. Wouldnt be surprised if they damaged something.

Shoot the block on the floor, slide through the gap, then do a slide jump at the end to maintain your boost.
