Otus Bug in v1.2 - Page 2

DeimosManifest · 02-22-2007, 04:35 PM

Mine never exploded, it just spawned inside my head and I insta-suicided. I found if you proned first, then spawned it, you wouldn't die instantly.

Today I tried to deploy my Otus in the open, and it actually spawned on me at waist level. It didn't kill me, but I was 'stuck' inside it. I could not jump out of it, I had to go prone to escape.

you have to be on very level terrain with nothing overhead and moving for the otus not to collide with you upon spawning.

what i usualy experience is the instakill where i am unable to be revived... it is uber frustrating. going prone stops the insta kill, but more often than not, I still get hurt by it.

Maybe this is somehow related to their "fix" for the stairway to heaven error. If you touch the drone, you die.

So, sprint in open area when you deploy the drone. Its still too valuable to NOT deploy. And make sure a medic is standing by to revive you if you do die.

Yea i experienced it, Havent done the gun drone yet but i think it would have been better for EA to fix the "stairway to heaven", by deciding that an emp rather destroys the lil guy instead of disableing him, I find that better.

The transports in titan mode. Usually the right side gun won't hit anything. You can put it on a ground troops head and it won't damage him at all. The left side gun is okay, but occassionally it will flake out too.

I tried all day to use the otus and about 85% of the time it blew up instantly. It got so bad I resorted to the gun drone and that only worked about half the time. Do we have to resort back to two months ago where becons where the thing?

I find myself using the beacon much more since the patch. the otus is just so unreliable. i may as well use something, so im using the beacon more. I will probably unlock the new beacon because teh damn otus is so buggy now. nothing like getting ready for an assult, announcing "deploying otus" and then being insta gibbed and be unable to revived.

Try this for the otus and post here if this works

I was trying this over and over and it only worked about 1 in 5. I didn't die but I could hear the explosion of my drone right behind my head. I am not sure what cause is it because I had another round where I was able to deploy it everytime and I can't think of anything I did differently.

I have had the same experience.
Im going to try it walking backwards and to the side now to check it out.

I was on Berlin once and I deployed it in a small coner with a cover above it, and the Otus drone spawned in at my midsection and got stuck there and trapped me in the corner. Although almost all the times I deploy it were successful, I found in the balconies on Berlin to be the worse place to use the drone.

Heh. Guess I'll just stick to my beacon.

Argh... · 03-07-2007, 03:39 AM

There is an easy fix to this. Works all the time even if you have an exploding otus drone.

1st prone and dont move
2nd look high up in the sky
3rd deploy otus

Worked for me 100%

It might look silly to your squadmembers but hey you got the otus back
