The Mastiff is one of two Legendary weapons in the game, and its devastating damage profile makes it a very powerful choice for players who are able to master its usage.
It’s already extremely dominant on its own, and having a bug that allows it to be rapidly fired just turns the user into a virtually unstoppable force.
Luckily, thanks to the Reddit post, the issue has been brought to the attention of developers Respawn, who are looking for a fix.
“Appreciate you folks capturing this and calling it out,” they replied on Reddit. “We’re aware and looking into it.
Season 2 in Apex Legends
The developers will hope to find a fix for that Mastiff rapid fire bug as soon as possible, at least prior to the release of the highly anticipated second season of Apex Legends.
Season 2 is set to introduce the brand new Legend Wattson, a new weapon called the L-STAR, and possibly even dragon-like creatures that players can use to move around.
Season 2 will be called Battle Charge and is scheduled to go live on July 2, 2019.
