As far as the I cloaking bug goes, I’d like to know what causes it. I think it has something to do with picking the helix choice where you take less damage while cloaked, but of course I could be wrong
It can’t be that as I’ve never chosen that helix.
There is one more thing I want to add. Reveal abilities will uncloak Pendles rather than simply reveal his location. It makes fighting against a team with Orendi, Ambra, Marquis, or especially Toby really hard.
They’re supposed to uncloak him, that’s normal.
This, from what I’ve seen, happens constantly with every character. Most notably for me the Thralls with shields.
Oh, I know. It’s just that those characters render him almost useless if your playing against competent players. The big ones are Toby and Marquis. Toby only has to look through his scope to keep you in your base, and the range of Marquis’s owl reveal is quite large.
Haven’t had Ambra uncloak Pendles. I’ve had it outline him though which IMO is pretty useful since it stays on him when he goes out of site
Really now? That’s interesting. I’d like to know which effect is intended.
I’ve had it reveal me so IDK I’ve heard it’s rather unreliable.
My guess is not both. Lol
Also if you’re playing as foxtrot and go for the swiss cheese helix choice then use the scrap cannon on pendles, the visual effect will stay stuck on him so people will know where he is throughout the whole match. Noticed this when I was chasing pendles across my base in Incursion with the visual effect still on him so it was pretty easy to hunt him.
I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be the outline.
A while back I took Swiss Cheese for WF on a fairly regular basis while Mike hunting, it was always an outline when I hit him with it.
But honestly, I think it should always have been a full reveal.
And @John-Cena is right, Swiss Cheese reveal is bugged for Pendles right now where he is permanently outlined after re-stealthing until he dies.
I was actually on Whiskey for the match that prompted this post, but pretty sure Ambra reveled him before I had even hit level 2 (she gets hers at 1).
Wow. I feel kinda stupid. Then again not many people used reveal skills before Pendles was released, so I suppose I just never noticed.
I hope they fix these problems soon. Otherwise, it might become extremely difficult to play Pendles after players become more used to him.
If it was me, then probably because I always take her right helix at level 1 because solar wind sets people on fire as well as revealing them. Maybe it’s the DoT attacks that are causing the problem?
I said it was you in the first post and that Ambra gets the reveal at level one in the post you quoted. Yes I know. Old but slow.
I was just about to post about this… On several occasion I’ve seen Pendles have a permanent CC visual on him, which renders him… Not invisible at all. But that’s not even what my concern is about. (Though it should also be fixed)
It’s the duration of reveals. A few times now I’ve had matches where enemies permanently have the reveal outline on them, basically giving me wall-hacks since I can see where everyone is at all times. Even the enemy.
@JoeKGBX @Jythri (These are the only dev usernames I remember haha…) but this issue really should be looked into. It’s near gamebreaking since it can end up giving a huge advantage to the team that can see the other one through everything.
Here’s the Match ID for a match that had this problem. Sorry It’s very long so I’m not going to type it out.
We’re aware of this. It should already be fixed for the next major patch.

We don’t know when that will be, right? (I’m assuming it’ll be announced tomorrow, for next week)
I guess this is still a thing, and that would explain how peoples seems to see me like a lighthouse with Pendles after a while, even when i’m sneaky as hell.
I even had an Orendi jump from a corner and blow my face off while i was standing still and waiting for an Elite to go away.
Guess i won’t play Pendles till it’s fixed then.
