Did they nerf sticky bombs?

[HopalongCasidy]

I always throw a sticky on my buzzard for two reasons: 1. if a player steals it and 2. if I leave it somewhere too far away for me to go get.

 

Lately, I have been unable to blow them up. I realize they disappear when you die, this is not what's happening.

It's a glitch that has popped up this patch. Just like the non-functioning fire truck hose

It will either get fixed next patch or never get fixed

[Zorvaine]

Yes, at random times when you throw a sticky bomb it disappears immediately.

 

You try using it in a GTA race but all it does is change the radio as if the bomb was never even placed.

sticky bombs have been acting weird, sometimes there's a huge delay on detonating them.

[SecludedMemory]

I think they disappear after either a certain amount of time or if you get a certain distance away from them (maybe just out of draw distance). Maybe both. Don't ask me which, but I've had one or the other happen on multiple occasions because I do the same to my Pegasus choppers, and I've done it to my PV and others as well. I don't think them disappearing in either case is intentional, but I could be wrong.

Wasn't that the case since day one?...

[AWEMYGOD]

I threw one on a car today, denotated it and the dude kept driving like nothing happened.

[Blankerz]

seems to happen to me more frequently whilst reversing in a vehicle when I throw, could be mistaken though.

[Q_Man]

No they completely broke them. They need to fix it because you can barely use them

[marco-polo]

Was doing Trash Talk for the first time in a while and went for the old routine of sticky on each one.. Threw it - nothing... ok, maybe i missed.. try again - nothing. Had to shoot the fuel tanks and the two worked but the last one didn't...

 

Unusual.

This is a glitch i can get along with

[ChrisV]

i noticed the same thing, tried trhowing one on a police car

and when i tried to detonate it it changed the radio station

[R3N3GAUG316]

Yesterday, I threw a sticky at a car at the stop light, and when the car started driving away, I detonated it. There was about a 2 second delay, and there was an explosion where the car originally was, but the car (about 20 feet away at this point" vaporized without an explosion.

[BigBiff]

Ive noticed two explosions from one sticky...where it actually landed and then where my hand was...the second one does no damage from what Ive seen

[XxX19Dude95XxX]

they always did that i thought

[§†range]

It started after 1.12

I had this happen to me during a capture game and literally EVERY sticky I threw wouldn't work. When I got back to freemode I threw 4 bombs on a car before it finally stuck to the car. Now its off and on. So annoying...

[Spade115]

I used it against someone chaseing me around a lobby and it landed on the car blew up and the guy never died, Its being sketchy right now.
