Hello,

I hope I am putting this in the appropriate area, my appoligies if I am not.

Title: Gauss Rifle Exploit

Description: By starting to charge up a heavy gauss rifle, then pressing and holding E to bring up the radial chat menu will hold the charge in whatever spot it was in when you first brought up the radial menu, and will remain that way until you release E, effectively allowing someone to hold a gauss rifle charge indefinately.

Loaction: In solo quickplay (assumably in other game modes as well)

Reproduction rate: 100%

Steps to reproduce:

1. launch match in HGR equipped mech (FNR-5 in my case)
2. hold down key bound to HGR
3. hold down key for radial chat menu
4. release E well past normal gauss rifle charge times to fire weapon(s)

I have not tried this with other varients of the gauss rifle, but I assume that it is repeatable on them as well, and my appoligies for not providing video proof of this, as I do not own video capture software, though I believe it is simple enough to reproduce without it.

I will be glad to assist if any further information is required

Thank you for your time

I've had a Gauss round fire prematurely because I had "spotted" an enemy and released E even though my mouse button was still pressed.

Same. It's not a good bug.
