The issue affected countless co-op sessions and frequently broke immersion and strategy in the heat of battle.
According to the official patch notes released by Arrowhead, the autocannon bug has now been fully addressed. Players should now experience seamless deployment and reloading, making the weapon a reliable powerhouse once again in the battlefield.
