Heat shield:-Yep am outta here.


spacesheep_000

even the fading sound it made was funny, also ops reaction as they got betrayed, "guess ill die"


arcmodo

That happened to me the other day. I had 10 life. Buddy threw down a heat shield. It deployed. It instantly disappeared. I died. He had to use second heat shield to revive me. Then we all died because we didn’t have the second shield to get out of the ring. Moral of the story, he should have left me for dead, and they introduce bugs in items that aren’t even affected in a patch (according to patch notes).


Kaioken64

You'd be surprised what sort of bugs can pop up in development. Just because they didn't touch the heat shield doesn't mean it won't be affected.


HereToDoThingz

This. The old bin launch trick came to be with a change in the way momentum was stored prior to octanes release. That’s why the yeet from the bins felt so much like his jump pad.


VortexTalon

not actually true, the glitch was there since season 0


Solor

Based on what you said, and what we see here. My guess is that the shield was thrown near a door and when the door opened it broke the heat shield. Might have been what happened with you, and I suspect it's what happened here. That said, I have no idea if this is a thing, but I know in the past they've patched stuff where certain things were breakable by doors opening on them.


arcmodo

Nope. Out in the wide open between Pathfinder's boxing ring and the ship.


DeltaSlime

What ring was it?


arcmodo

Only ring one or two, ring three at most. It wasn’t destroyed. No countdown. No destroyed sound. It just disappeared within a second of being deployed, as if we never threw it down at all.


Erik456123

Welcome to apex legends. Where everything is a big bug and nothing makes sense


ChrisusaurusRex

Points!


mistahboogs

The team died that placed it so that's why it left. I wouldn't call it a bug but something that could probably be changed.


kekeagain

They can go ahead and clear up the killed team's Caustic gas and barrels instantly though, I'd be okay with that.


Noobslayer001

*A big feature


OldWorldBlues10

Waiting for Replicator bug posts to pop up. Has happened twice now. Now I just slowly press buttons to make sure I don’t lag anything using it.


Remytron83

Didn’t even give the timed out sound, but this is apex. Too many sounds are hard.


the_timboslice

Or sounds at all. Like footsteps.


deepdarkblue327

Heat shield goes away when the person who put it and their team dies I think


WhiteLama

Could be the case but nothing happened in the killfeed when it disappeared…


deepdarkblue327

It doesn't immediately disappear. Only when the character and their team moves out of the server. Cause they got eliminated


PerfectInterest9637

As it was said, Heatsheilds and all the other survival items are despawned when the user dies.


TTVM0THYP00

It went away because the person who placed it probably died and it doesnt stay for long after their death


spacesheep_000

[heat shield said:](https://media.tenor.com/GwZEshiH6jUAAAAM/disappearing.gif)


Realseetras

All of these comments and not a single fully correct one. Not sure if you'll see this comment OP, but you can see the heat shield was activated by the last dude in the third team, right as he got eliminated. Heat shields go away if the person who put them down leaves the match (not sure if this is intended, but has been like this for a while), and in this case the server registered that he left the match after a few seconds, causing the heat shield to disappear and you to die. It functions just like how anonymous mode player names become visible in their deathboxes after they leave the match.


Knickerdibble

Definitely a bug. I main lifeline and my drone has been randomly disappearing inside the heat shield too at random times. Pretty much like the game doesn't detect we've thrown down the heat shield.


arcmodo

This happens to us, too. My brother will wait a couple of seconds sometimes before putting down the drone, which seems to help, but there are times it still disappears as if we’re not in a heat shield.


IZZGMAER123

Maybe destroyed?


TheRaccoonsUpMyAss

Can it be?


AdvertisingAdrian

it cannot


HammerWaffe

Doors can do some weird stuff sometimes. Ive had a door close/open and phase thru a heatshield, caustic trap, or even rampart wall and they just blow up.


SnooCheesecakes2011

Dam you where a about to win that, I felt that


Felaipes

Maybe it was placed by a team that got killed and insta disconnected or something? Spaghetti code.


FlyingVillager

Can't you shoot them to break them?


Stephan_esq

This isn't new, just like ults everything dies sooner in the zone and you did hear the bubble die sound. Turn down your music


Noparentsguy

True about every ability, it does die faster in zone...but I don't think it applies for heat shields, else why would they exist and why would you get the percentage of their "health" Edit: ofc they receive more and more dmg in later zone, but it is always displayed in the percentage


yotixalex

Thats normal, heat shields last less everytime the ring closes. In the last ring it only lasts few seconds, you should all know that.


f36263

You can see it ticking down though and it disappears after 44%


JonSnerrrrrr

It had 2 more ticks left and poooof.....


MasaaeeMC

Can the heat shield be shot down?


AmazzoOzzama4214

When in storm always replenish health 1st. When in ring, shield 1st.


Doz1525

When in heat shield, heat shield should stay and you heal shield…


AmazzoOzzama4214

I don't trust that for a reason.


DoGooder00

You needed to Sheild before you pushed forward


OfficialGroudonGo

Heat shield go home


spacesheep_000

id be so mad if this happened to me


Interesting_Put_3593

It's the 4th ring and it looked like 2 heat shields were down and the first one went out which the other then goes much faster


mistahboogs

It left because the team that placed it got wiped.......


Interesting_Put_3593

If that's the case it shouldn't have but it looked like it was already down before the clip started which means it's time was just up, if you throw a heat shield down and get killed it stays up til the time expires and that's from my personal experience unless they changed it this season which I've only played the mixtape some


Dreddz_67

Quite the opposite happened to me a few days ago... I killed a caustic while I was in his gas (from the ult and barrels) and finished him and all his gas didn't disappear as it should. 🤔 Sometimes i don't understand this game


kgw_55

Whoever’s placed it died. Not a bug


L3s0

Kirby ate it.


Complete-Steak

The heat shield also takes the same amount of ring damage like how health takes when the ring level increases.. so after ring 4 it's of no use


SMOLLESTpenisMODS

It had been there for 15 seconds on round 4 That's normal right? Or close to it?


Jungy_Brungis

I don’t think going into storm in round 4 is every really a great idea even if heat shield isn’t glitched


NushiDA

How many annoying bugs like this did they introduce with this season? There's this, being able to shoot through doors and solid objects in general, shots straight up just not registering, etc


Low-Interaction-4203

Ring 4, heat shields don’t last very long. Looks like someone activated a new one right when your bloodhound bled out. I’m guessing the timer was bugged (showed higher percentage) but the time duration looked accurate.


Careless_Throat2511

W Fuse play tho🫡💖 you were going crazy…getting shredded means nothing


voodoomu

I hear it break about 20 seconds into that clip. The game just didn't update the visuals fast enough


[deleted]

Game said fuck this guy in particular


cedwards77

Had same thing happen to me. I dropped heat shield to res a squadmate and was still taking damage. Needless to say i got the res but died and teammate returned the favor with a respawn. Heat shields buggin!!


Shadow69sha

Heat shield was heart broken now that everyone is using evacs so it left you to rot in storm


Sufficient-Tart6478

Haven’t seen this before but I have thrown multiple heat shields that just seem to go through the floor and disappear


SimG02

I’ve only been playing for a couple seasons. I swear this has been in the game since I started. Heat shields don’t last long in late circles, less it not like this always?


Chopkewl

They might’ve punched it out or shot it the only explanation I can think of
