Guns that heat up and break

[King Gibbon]

My friend and I both have guns that overheat and break however the repair function of the gun doesnt work, leading it to look likes its working, but not use any ammo or actually fire any bullets

I'm having the same issue with some of my weapons. If you exit to the main menu and re-enter the game, you'll be fine for a few hours until it happens again.

This is a known issue. It mostly seems to happen to a person joining a game. At first it was frustrating, but when you think of the possible consequences (legendary bugged items dropping), this might well be game breaking to many people.

A workaround seems to be dropping the weapon, then having it picked up by the host, firing it once, then dropping it again to be picked up. This is a cumbersome and frustrating bug to say the least though.

I find it mind-boggling to see this bug (or many other issues like crashing on fast travelling) have not been patched yet.
In my my humble opinion this is a great game, let down by game breaking bugs that left us shelving it for the time being.

Does anyone know if this has been fixed yet?

Makes me glad that I find those guns to irritating to ever use

[Draxuss]

Those guns aren't even worth your trouble.

Not even fixed in 2023...

Every single gun that does not have a limited mag won't shoot even if I just picked it up

I've seen some speculation that it occurs for people who also have ammo regeneration abilities active.

The weapon menu tells you they will break! Just do not use them. It is not a bug.

IT is not a BUG, just read the weapon menu-stats before you pick it up. If it says it will break- do not pick it up!

And you are clueless READ ABOVE!

Well it does say that it will break, no matter the circumstance, but it has a repair which delays it, just because it says repair that doesn't mean you guys can keep this gun forever?
mfs ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about the weapon as if devs cannot see if there are problems with the game
at first I had been thinking that it wont work but I did see that eventually my weapon's ammo went up assuming it was "repairing" so either ways the weapon will eventually break and will be gone.
*in addition to my comment, If you use your weapon but not let it overheat it will repair everytime*

Skulldugger weapons are the equivalent of COV in BL3. But BL3 doesn't have any issues with this weapon type.

The "breaking" gimmick is just supposed to trigger a long "repair" animation when overheating for too long. Much like a reload animation, just slower. The barrel, engine or whatever gets replaced and then you're back to shooting.

The skulldugger weapons are not working properly in TT, it is clearly a bug, you shouldn't just be able to see the weapon operating normally but shooting air and see the ammo not be used, it makes no sense.

If it's intended, then why the heck does dropping and picking the gun "fix" the "breaking" for a short period of time ? And why isn't the host affected by this ?
There is no answer to those question, because it's a bug. No one on their right mind would design an entire weapon archetype that could become unusable if shot for more than 10 seconds in a row in a game that is pretty much shooting 24/7.

Still not fixed.....
