Is it just me or is it frighteningly easy to lose the spystyle buff? I'll be fighting fine then all of a sudden I look up to notice I'm back at self defence status?

 

Recently I risked again using weapons with my spystyle lo....what a mess! the system window spends so much time telling which style its switching between it forgets either to fire or throw the knife I just clicked!! Is the problem simply that there is no corresponding freefire buff to spystyle (and I suspect hacker style et al) and if so why...surely there should be parity between IL style and free fire (in which case the system would presumably work ok)?

 

From my previous experience with KFGM weapons seem to live with it harmoniously, can this be achieved with spy and other styles please!

I had the same problem yesterday. I changed my loadout to spy for easier experience (and to mess around with it for a bit), but my stats are for ballistic. Now that was fun, losting spy style every other second. All I had to do was be hit and its gone.

These are known issues and a being looked into. The problem seems a bit more deep rooted that we initially expected. While the devs are working on a fix I am not sure how long it will take.

i have found that when i use free fire with a weapon(for now lets say a
stinger) while i have mkt loaded, yes i lose my spystyle buff and then
i cant 'complete' any knive throws.  by changing my free fire
physically back to self defense then turning on my spystyle again it
cures it.....while this takes time and a few clicks(you have to be on
top of your situation during pvp). it is a workaround for now whilst
the devs find a perma fix



hope this helps my fellow MKT's

Next I’ve come up with something of a solution, or another compromise for the Devs as far as Spy Free-Fire (Everytime we use Ballistic weapons we are auto switched to Self Defense which ruins our Knife Throwing, not only that but the Ballistic Weapon will continue to fire until you click the Ranged Button and select Self Defense then you have to go back and select Spy Style, and it gets to be a bit annoying. During this time you’ve either been ganked or the target got away). And they follow as such bellow.
