Thief Drone Altitude Lock / Tether Issue - MnK and Controller

Avatar
IgnisDraconis

Ok so I have been doing some testing with my hotkeys and I have noticed a strange interact that I thought I would bring up to the devs. I usually do MnK but I have been learning controller. I play on PC.

Anyway, on MnK it appears the Thief drone tether is locked to altitude control. This is why when you send out the tether your drone drops on MnK ONLY. My tether / altitude control is using left mouse button. However, you have a different interaction on controller (I'm using PS5 dualsense).

On controller my altitude lock is R2; however, unlike MnK it doesn't shoot the tether out. But if I press my equipment button (double press circle) it sends out the drones tether and doesn't drop it to the ground.

My suggestion: remove Altitude control from both inputs. However, if you want to keep it in for those niche use cases.... Then the Craft Secondary Action needs to work. Right now that hotkey doesn't work on either input but would be an awesome place to put the drone tether on that hotkey. Personally I like how it works on Controller. Altitude Lock and Drone Tether as separate keys. On MnK it needs to be separated into two keys. Hope this helps.

    Hi there,

    Thank you for reaching out and for reporting this.

    Please provide the following details to add to your report:

    • The approximate date and time of when this first happened
    • What is the make and model of the Input devices that you are using?
    • Are your binds default or custom?
    • Please send screenshots of your key binds if they are custom
    • If you are using custom, does using default controls fix the issue?
    • A short video of this happening in-game along with your key binds

    Please use your platform's capture button to take a video. You can upload the footage to a public video hosting site, like YouTube, then post the link here and we’ll be glad to take a look.

    • I have notice the drone dropping since Marathon launched. I only discovered the hotkey issues as of yesterday when I was adjusting my keybinds.
    • Mouse and Keyboard: Logitech G502 X Lightspeed and Logitech G815 
    • Controller: Playstation 5 DualSense Wireless Controller (Model # CFI-2XT2W)
    • The keybinds I used are custom
    • I will add the screenshots of my keybinds to the thread.
    • I will check on that.
    • I can also get a video.

    Bungie Support I will be uploading the videos to this thread shortly. One thing I noticed is that some keybinds specifically the secondary craft ones don't seem to work on any input. I would think the keybinds you would set for the craft would override what is default. Even with default settings some keys don't seem to be working at all. On mouse and keyboard some seem to be doing double functions (MNK Tether and altitude drop). Hopefully the videos help show what I am experiencing. 

    They are uploading to Youtube as we speak
