All echoes post level 5 (after leaving vender NPC) does not work. As per picture, I have lightning infusion as an echo and been using it from level 2 - 5. When I leave vendor, the infusion is no longer active as my weapon is back to fire. Additionally, I’ve had previous runs before where I had “focus regeneration” echoes that worked prior to level 5. Once again, post leaving vender; my focus bar stopped regenerating. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex003/uploads/wickedforum/original/2X/7/7bc6c9f8076b494097835834f8a7d833801570e5.jpeg) ---

Same for me! It was not like this yesterday. I think today’s patch broke something in the crucible. I hope this gets fixed soon as it’s really fun to do co-op runs ---

\*\*Update\* There’s actually more echoes that don’t work past level 5 once you leave the vendor. Its infusions, regeneration and also JUST found out, health deduction based echoes. For the last one, I had 30% life steal but reduce 40% health echo since level 2. After leaving vendor on level 5, my health is back to 100% and I no longer have life steal even though the echo is still active. Now I’m really curious as to what echo is even working after level 5….. ---

This has been hotfixed. Can you guys follow up here (or anyone else for that matter) if this bug is still persistent? Silas ---

I had an echo where I gain % of life per kill. After leading vender at level 5, my health initially went back to original but then after 1 kill it went back up to the % value as before. I believe this issue has been resolved based on my observation. Thank you Silas ---
