Weaponized Vehicles no shooty

[Jakobb]

I've tried L-Ctrl, F, E and any other key I can think of, and nothing activates the weapons on (admittedly a stolen) weaponized Quadra Javelina. Worse yet, I cannot even just wave my gun out these car's window and fire it, anymore.

So ... yeah.

I have read others having the same issue. Is there a solution going around that I haven't yet found?

It should be the same key you use for shooting your own weapons out of a regular car. So for me it's alt. In a weaponized car, it will use the car's weapons instead of your own.

Yep, just to be clear, that's the key I use (it's L-Ctrl) and nothing happens. Just to test it, I grabbed someone else's car and it worked a treat. Even got a free cop bike out of it!!!1!! And a bunch of attention, but that's another story.

I'm guessing you already rechecked your binds - after 2.1 some of mine reset themselves.

Other than that, did you do any missions / gigs where you were prohibited from shooting out of your car? It could be you got stuck with prohibited shooting rules from then. Today I did the mission where you have to escape from the stadium and I was stuck in slow walk no matter what I did because the game thought I was carrying an HMG around. The only way I could fix it was to pick up another HMG and drop it.

Maybe try going back to an earlier save where you were able to shoot from your car to see if it works there first.

I have the same now, possibly due to what @Lorem Ipsum mentioned above but cannot think where I had restricted shooting from a vehicle.

Basically I am mod free, almost at end of main game and DLC, been fine up till this morning (just did the Hansen quest and now near end of Mr Hands as the Cuban assassin), but upon starting a driving mission for the discounts I found out that 'ALT' (the default) no longer allows the weapon to be drawn, and then found this issue is now across ALL my vehicles too.

'Alt' works when not in a vehicle but not when driving anymore.

With the Repeatable Races I got them to appear, won the first race I picked (Badlands), and after many days and missions they do not "repeat" and that is it. Not sure if others get them to return for more races but for me it was a one and done, no longer showing up anywhere or able to be started from the race start points (by going to where they should be).

And of course Finishers do not work properly.

Dont know if youve done this, but on weaponized vehicles you have to use the numbers you use to choose your regular guns (default 1,2,3... etc).

One vehicle I had, had both machine gun and rockets - both were "activated" with 1-key and 2-key respectively.

Answer for the people from the future:

Press "1" or "2" to activate the car weapons. They're in your "holster" and need to be put in your "hand" before you car fire them. Go figure. Is what it is. Holster them using "E", tho'.
