Gun not firing (Not jammed)

[I'm a Woonicorn.]

I just started playing and I am enjoying the game but I keep dying to my gun not shooting. I will be shooting and my gun might jam and after I clear the jam my gun just won't shoot. It doesn't seem to be instantly jamming either.

I'm guessing it's a bug, given changing to my secondary and back fixes it?

Most common cause of this is people trying to shoot while holding down the sprint button / having sprint toggled on. It's intentional that you can't shoot while sprinting, and an unfortunate side effect that the game doesn't care whether you're actually moving or standing still.

If that's not it, I'm afraid I have no idea how to help you. I don't know of any bug that completely prevents your guns from firing.

Sorry, maybe I should've worded this a tad more carefully; I'm not aware if the developer himself has explicitly confirmed this at some point.

However, since the game has never allowed the player to shoot and sprint at the same time, and this is a restriction most shooter games in existence share, I'd say it's 99% safe to assume that this functionality is intended.

This seems like it could be what is happening, especially given you can be stood still. Not sure I'd have been able to work that out easily, so thank you! :)
