lithely mutator not working?

[Vuitton Vampire]

This game seems a bit too vague on the usage of mods/mutators and when the effect is taking place. For lithely the mutator descriptions says "increases this weapons reload speed by 4% for each enemy killed between reloads last 15s. Max 5 stacks"

I dont quite understand this because it should apply to bows, the travel distance it takes to reach and enemy is "between" reloads yet there is no effect... nothing pops up on screen. So is this bugged or am I just not reading this correctly.

With bows you have 1 round and the moment you fired a shot you already started reloading instantly, before the enemy even die from the projectile.

The mutator works best with high damage, but also higher capacity weapons that seems to have a longer reload time, that you can generally one shot or two shot kill often in that magazine usage.

Also at higher difficulties, some of the builds and loadouts becomes more useless if the enemy's health increase to the point where they don't die in one shot hence your efficiency of a 'reload buff' build isn't better.

Even at full draw though its practically hitscan, for survivor difficulty you can one tap most of the trash with the bow upgarded a bit so I dont understand how its not using the mutator. Pull bow back, arrow hits a kills then the reload animation starts esp at close range. I tried using the lever action as well and I still so indication that the mutator is working. No little boxes at the bottom of the screen.

You reload every shot so of course it doesn't work

Yeah exactly... you reload after each kill... its literally the description of the mutator, reload speed increased after each kill BETWEEN reload?

For me currently, it doesn't work on another aspect.

It never runs out, doesn't give the buff, and also seems to be cancelling my concoction usage ?

Which, ya know... I don't really enjoy. I want my exp boost.
