Can't fire disruptor, is this a bug or am i not getting something?

[bulldog0890]

I just got the disruptor and now have to use it on the jammer to stop the prison riot. i can aim at the device, and it locks on, but it will not fire

[flw]

keep the button pressed. the reticule will zoom in and destroy the jammer.

I should mention that the reticle also doesn't turn green when I lock on

I'm having the same problem. I used 2 disrupter shots to disable 2 guns, but it's not recharging. There isn't even that white circle to tell how much time left until it recharges.

You only get a limited number of shots per predator encounter (i guess its to stop you just destroying mines to take down all the enemies or jamming all their guns, therefore you have to use other types of takedowns). I think an upgrade gives you 3 shots although I could be wrong.

Really? That sucks.

What about non predator encounters, or places with mission items in them? It don't recharge for me in those areas.

Aaronth07, the Disruptor will recharge over time in freeroam, you simply have to leave the conflict area or duck into a checkpoint. If you're in a predator room the Disruptor will recharge immediately by walking through a door into the next room. As Barney pointed out, this is to incentivize tactical planning before deployment and eliminate gadget spamming, same as with the Smoke Pellet usage.

Bulldog0890, if you're having difficulties with the Disruptor itself you should try reducing your screen resolution from within the Graphic Options menu to increase texture and object registration. You should also patch and verify in case you haven't set the game to auto-update. Disruptor bugs were patched some time ago. Review the following topic:
