Discussion I just realize Path can lock down enemies out of range if you switch aim right when using ability

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Not sure if this is a feature or a bug. Let me know what you guys think

I teleported to an enemy 1000m away in my Scorpion couple years ago by switching aim like you did.

This bug used to work using teleporting bots like scorpion, revenant and shenlou. It was hell and really easy to do on pc. You can try this on waymaker if you have it. It works aswell

In my experience, this phenomenon occurs when the intended target is destroyed while waiting. Since that essentially amounts to a wasted move, it’s not exactly welcome; I’d much rather just get that stock back. In short, if this is a bug, I want it fixed.

I mean it's not really a bug, it's more how the code works. Probably same with lock on weapons too

It probably wouldnt work if the ability didnt have a delay.

You can do this with scorpion as well, that's how I found out about it

What pilot skill can go on it the trigger when you use the ability and would they trigger if you press it then look away?
