There is a terrible and scary bug that has been introduced where the following happens: controller might rumble for no reason while the screen will freeze momentarily, player will be returned to the game and see everyone running around, however, the audio is completely missing, the player cannot move, the controller becomes 100% unresponsive (cannot even press PS button to access console menu), and even pressing the power button on the PS4 will result in three rapid beeps, but not turn off the console.
This is pretty serious as you can see because it is affecting more than just the game. I am well aware that a game bug has the capability to brick a console.
This freezing issue has happened to me TWICE during last Iron Banner and actually happened to a team member during Trials of Osiris last night. Our only solution was to PULL THE PLUG while the console was running, since performing internet searches do not provide a safe solution for restarting the console in this type of situation.
This is dangerous!
This issue has only been reported in PVP, but it appears that it is happening across different platforms.
I have linked a Reddit thread where a growing number of users are confirming this issue.
A response would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: DO NOT YANK THE PLUG!!! If you press and hold the power button for about 30 seconds (it feels like forever, I know) this is the safest way to power down your frozen console. If this does not work but you are plugged into a power strip, flip the switch on the power strip OFF.

So...not trying to be a dick when I say this but judging by the comments it seems to be prevalent on ps4, I have yet to see anything like this for one
