WEAPONS WONT FIRE

WEAPONS QUIT FIRING

[insert food here]

What FPS are you getting while playing? What exactly is happening and under what circumstances? Is it all weapons at all times won't fire? Is it just the weapons on your character or have you tried other different weapons as well?

Not saying it is 100% your issue, but if your FPS goes too high you can get control issues and other problems. Cap it below 160 to stop it from potentially happening.

"Won't" and "Quit" express two different things. "Won't" means not at all and "Quit" means they did, but stopped. We need more information.

There is a feature where weapons or items in the weapon slot will refuse to go beyond being “wielded/held”. I have had it happen with guns and most recently my camera. It’s got ammo, it’s in my hands, and I just cannot bring it up to use.

Swapping weapons out and back will usually resolve it.

So you can't shoot Moles-Sending some little friends for your Crops right away...

You need ammo, dumb-dumb

I've had thos exact same issue and it's not out of ammo. I also have this issue with the chainsaw. Weapon is out, but won't fire. Sometimes I'll notice the rifle firing, but from an angle that makes no sense and it misses the target completely. But melee is the worst. I think it's related to stealth because breaking stealth then switching weapons seems to correct it.

It is the switching weapons that fixes it. For me it is mainly my Holy fire flamer that is doing in but other guns can too. It fires from either the far left or right of the screen instead of coming out of the weapons barrel.

Switching weapons will fix it but it can happen right away again at any time. Only started happening with the new update.

usually down to you having a loot or dialogue window open. Mash ESC then fire/bash

if someone else is reading this in 2025:

I have 500+ ammo for all guns on me, no dialogue, etc etc and I have this issue. the people gaslighting you in the comments are idiots and uninformed. this is 10000000% an active bug. i have a new (enough) pc (4060 32gb ram, 14th gen i5, 2TB SSD) theres is absolutely nothing my hardware or ingame is doing to cause this.

the switching weapons and going in and out of 1st and 3rd person eventually makes it work.

the only bit of "interesting" info i got from this thread was the stealth thing. this started happening the day i put a stealth legendary mod on my power armor. the person that mentioned the stealth may be on to something.

old necro post, this issue is among a smattering of OTHER issues tied to people SPUNKIN THE SETTINGS and trying to run the game at thirty two thousand frames per second.


Use your gpu setting to lock the game @ 60fps (and NEVER, EVER go above 120.) this is a ANCIENT coded game from 2000 (or even before) and it cannot run at higher fps, some truly weird fookery happens when u do that. Before u rush off to post arguments, go lock your fps down to 60 and try again. (For AMD cards it is amd chill, unsure what it is for geforce but when I had a card I used it to lock it in, this issue is OLD. Like OLD old... was an issue with fo3, fo4, even skyrim and most def 76(which is just fo4 code btw)

That's not gaslighting and they aren't idiots, that's people reacting normally to a very vague question.

Isn't enough of a hint at the problem to give meaningful feedback.
So you get joke answers.

Describe the issue better, you'll get more useful feedback.

It ain't just Ghouls who come back from the dead.....

[Mr Chow]

Same with the auto axe it keeps going and ghosts everything you have to unequp and bring it back out for it to work and this is only one bug there is so many after ghoul update.
