Status:	Open
Priority:	High

Reported for:	RC:EA:00.07.09 Auto

Steps to Reproduce

1. I found the bug in my previous run.
2. I had the ricochet boomstick from the start of it which gave me more than enough time to confirm the bug.
3. In comparison, same run I equipped the autocannon and later upgraded it with a ricochet perk out of curiosity.
4. The cannon ricochet did not damage me but the explosion vfx would constantly trigger right in my face, completely obscuring vision.
5. Could be related to the boomstick bug but might also be separate as my teammate mentioned seeing the same autocannon bug online.
6. It also seems to possibly be related to the old DRG autocannon bug of the same nature.

Explanation

Boomstick weapon, if spawned with a ricochet perk ends up a danger to the user. For some reason bullets will often ricochet into the player that fired them. Following self-ricochet damages the player for some reason. I'm sure the bug isn't purely visual as I could notice my armor drop and hear a player damage sound effect whenever the bug triggered. Which was very often,
