Blast Mine Doesn't Work
Platform: PC
Description: The perk Blast Mine does not work. The perk will charge up over time while working on a generator, but when fully charged, you are not given the option to place the blast mine on a generator.
I've only had this happen once, during my first match since the alien update went live.
Shown here, blast mine is fully charged. I have been working on this generator for upwards of 15 seconds (perk was fully charged already when I started) and I am not given the prompt to place the blast mine.
Attached are my log files.

They changed it, you have to get off the generator and be near it to install the trap. I think it also uses the other ability button now.

When did that happen? I didn't see it in any of the patch notes. The only thing I saw about it was that it can't be placed on a gen with 0 progress.

Yeah it wasn't in the patch notes but they removed the part from the description about needing to be on the generator for 3 seconds to install the trap so I'm 99% sure it's intended. They did the same thing with Wiretap.

Ok I tried it out in another match. Yep, that's how it works now. That's such a weird and unnescesary change and I'm wondering why they did it.
Nevermind to this report I guess.

I think they did it because that's how Chemical Trap works and I guess they wanted all of them to work similarly. After all they nerfed Wiretap from 33% to 50% for the same reason.

It feels so clunky now

Boy I sure can't wait for gen tapping to also include installing Blast Mine, that won't get very grating very fast.

Also I noticed that the gen doesn't highlight in yellow anymore.
