In order to understand what the Apex Legends Octane Stim bug is, we need to know what is supposed to happen when it’s used. Ordinarily when Octane’s tactical ability is in use, players are still able to fire their weapon at opponents, despite having a sizable speed boost for a limited amount of time.
Ever since the 1.1 patch went live on April 5, however, players have been finding that they cannot draw their weapon while the Stim ability is being used. Threads have popped up on the game’s Reddit page and official EA forums from people who are unable to run and gun while they play as the adrenaline junkie legend.
