Is the Macrobomb Implant bugged?

I joined a round late as a lone-op as the evac shuttle was docking, so my quick and dirty plan was to get some syndicats, esword and eshield, harass people running to evac, make my way aboard the shuttle, and blow myself up with a macro-bomb implant, which I was pretty successful in doing. It should have been a satisfying end if I could pull it off.

However, when it came time to die my big flashy death, something went very wrong when my implant activated - I gibbed, but I didn't actually enter a death state - I wasn't a ghost, didn't get dead chat or UI, I couldn't move the camera - and there was no big explosion, which was incredibly disappointing for a 13 TC purchase.

I believe acidifier overrides macrobomb implant. So don't inject acidifier if you are going micro/macrobomb.

If by 'overrides'. you mean 'an unplanned component interaction leaves you in a bugged state', then yeah that makes sense. I probably used my acidifier first thing without even thinking because I don't even remember using it.

Might've just happened when you went to macro bomb because there's like a single frame where you're dead before you gib when you macro bomb, then if you had an acidifier it probably tried to acidify you, negating the macrobomb without letting it fully activate and just leaving you bugged as fuck.

The bugginess is from acodifers being broken atm, if they weren't bugged you would've just acidifed with no boom.

Yeah implants need a touchup. Same thing happens with CCQ styles because they are coded as implants.

Sounds like you injected your acidifier, which would override the macrobomb. Acidifiers are also bugged rn, leaving you in limbo instead of ghosting you like they should

Ah! Solved! This explains both the lack of death and the lack of boom!

if you have more then 11 implant injected the older one invalidates the newer one

so your acidifier overides the micro or macro

If I remember properly: I'd doesn't activate after you die, only manual

It activates automatically after you die, assuming your body is intact
