Summary: Repair Animation is completely negated, while still allowing Armor regeneration and ability to fight, with the cost of a glitching (flashing) HUD while standing on unusual objects, possibly terrain (not tested).

Video:
Steps to Reproduce:
  • Buy a Turret then set it down in a match, or find one already placed.

  • Stand on top of it, and if you have less than max Armor, hold down [C] to repair.

  • Your HUD should start glitching (rapidly turning off and re-activating)

  • If you hold it long enough, you will notice you can repair, and still shoot

  • You are now a constantly regenerating Mech camping on top of a Turret
Frequency: Every time I attempted, or at least was able to stay still on the Turret.
Severity: 2
Additional Notes: I'm pretty sure anything that has collision similar to this will cause the repair animation to not proceed, but after the time it takes to repair under normal circumstances still occur. So long as the Turret is alive with you on top of it, you can constantly repair and shoot.

This was discovered on one of many growing matches where everyone (mostly the opposing team) leaves the game due to lack of auto-balance. I try to stand on things and decided to repair after hitting myself with a grenade. Not worth camping on, but leaves future problems where one can explit cancel repair animations and cause much more severe gameplay imbalance.

Edit: Video added.
