Keep it unbanned, and see how it affects an actual game before banning it. I’d imagine suicide bombs still being pretty hard to pull off, even with this glitch so there might not even be a problem.

How is being immune to a sentry, the one that you might be targeting, not affecting the actual game?

Sometimes I wonder why people post replies without actually reading the post they are replying to. I didn’t say the glitch does not affect the game, I said it affected the game in an interesting way that requires evaluation.

The sentry immunity brings other downsides, such as being more easily shut down by other classes, such as pyro and heavy, since using the parachute decreases your speed. You are seemingly still not immune to a weangled sentry and the trick itself seems to take at least some sort of skill to pull off (though I can’t really comment on this). And during the time you’re setting up the suicide you won’t have whatever unlock the base jumper replaces. I highly doubt this bug is game breaking so it doesn’t really justify a ban.

I’d say this is bug exploit and should be bannable offence anyway.

Does a wrangler sentry glitch the same?

Not sure I understand how it’s done. Doesn’t it just happen when you float in range of a sentry?

“I’m sorry officer, I have no idea how this pot got into my car” doesn’t really fly

Great to hear about this bug, was used in past UGC season.

Yes it affects the gameplay. A lot.

how does it affect gameplay?
surely if you have the parachute out youre a sitting duck for everything

Never let the police search your car.

But this is more like sand getting in your car when you visit the beach.

I don’t know how is it in Russia, but here they can even search your baggage when they pull you off, not everyone lives where you do and law is different everywhere :).
