Was it a Classic Bastion glitch?

I was playing a match on Dorado in Classic 6v6 mode earlier today. Very fun time! One of my teammates was a Bastion who was traversing around in his turret form just like his OW2 rework version! No animation, just him in turret form magically sliding around on the ground.

Is this a new Classic glitch? Or was this player håçķìňğ? :astonished: :flushed:

Google brought me here. I just played a game and both Bastions were sliding around. One was even getting accused of cheating he was doing so good.

Yeah, it’s a bug. I don’t think he’s actually in that form; the animations are just scuffed.

I’ve played nothing but GOATS since it dropped, there’s numerous bugs but that one is the most obvious, I see it almost every game now yep.

Yeah, I saw this after seeing this post lmao
How did the mess up goats meta? They definitely had this on hand. Not lost, like many other old things they’ve talked about. “We lost the hard drive that had that backup”, not for goats.
And somehow it’s the worst classic rollout yet.

Ah i see. So, functionally, hes in his sentry form but graphically hes in his turret form?

Yeah, from what I saw he’s shooting “normally” and they still have to do the animation to go into turret mode. You know when he’s shooting that fast lol
Go back into replay mode. See what they see.

Exactly, or so his gun cadence and damage seem to imply.

This bug has existed in the game before, if memory serves.

I’ll have to check out that replay, thanks SirMagg.

Shankm, was this bug back in 2017 OW or whenever GOATs was active? Thatd be pretty funny :sweat_smile:

They can’t even make Mercy fly/slingshot like her wings aren’t inbred, but you think they can preserve and reproduce a Bastion bug from 2017!?

Fact is stranger, and I’m not saying it’s impossible, but the probability is a number that very quickly approaches zero.

Ha!

An interesting perspective. After seeing 6v6 QP OQ disappear like dark magic, anythings possible :magic_wand::crystal_ball::sparkles:

When it comes to Blizzard spaghetti code, so many things are impossible!

To their credit, though, game big (and complex).

Thats very true. Very complex. I found a T-Pose Sunny Dance glitch bug with Mei. I was really suprized by that one! A lot can go wrong. Everytime D.Va calls in a mech and its bumped, its still awkward. But it happens so often, it feels “normal” now.

Kinda wish they never fixed the SlenderMoira bug because it was hilarious and forcing people to look at that atrocious skin all game is nearly as funny as the bug was :grin:

That Moira bug was wild! Its always surprizing when I see them randomly. Like glitchy Easter Eggs :rabbit::egg:

Bastion main here, it’s a visual bug. It happens after bastion transforms for the first time in the match, when he leaves turret mode his normal mode is visually bugged for the rest of the match to look like he’s in turret form when he isn’t.

A good way to check for sure is to watch the kill cam and look at his rate of fire and the image of the weapon being used at the bottom right
