PC C4 Auto Detonation Bug

[Broconut]

Category: Code

Reproducibility: Always

Online/Offline: Both

Summary: C4 automatically explodes in the player's face every time when certain conditions are met.

Description: If you throw a brick of C4, detonate it and quickly switch to another weapon, switching back to C4 will cause you to automatically detonate the charge without any input. If another brick of C4 is thrown while this is happening, it will instantly explode, usually severely injuring or outright killing you. Switching to the melee slot will cause you to automatically perform a heavy swing which "fixes" the bug. If you switch to C4 after doing this, it will function as normal.

1. Throw a brick of C4
2. Detonate it and quickly switch to another weapon
3. Switch back to C4 and throw another brick. It will explode in your face. Keep throwing them and they'll keep instantly exploding.
4. Repeat steps 1-2 but switch to your knife this time, You will perform a heavy swing.
5. Switch back to C4. it will now work as intended.

If you manually detonate the C4 after the bug kicks in, it will "fix" it, allowing you to use the C4 as normal again. It also will not automatically explode if you only have 1 brick of C4 left; however, this does not actually "fix" the bug because picking up more ammo will cause it to persist again. The only ways to cancel the bug is to switch to the melee slot, manually detonate the C4 after switching to it, or drop the C4 and pick it back up again.
