Hunter keeps removing longsword after R2 spam

[Brainssss]

So, each time after I spam full R2 combo with longsword, my guy keeps removing it onto his back afterwards. Is this a bug or mechanic or why would he do that? I've set not auto-remove weapon while not attacking (though I do attack), and still he does this thing. WTF?

are you pressing RB on controller it will put sword on his back , also changing into anything you need to press RT to bring sword back up
i would try to recreate same thing happens in practice arena u might be pressing something that in heat of fight u might not notice

Nah I mean I spam full combo which is R2 -> R2 -> R2 -> R2 and after last hit he just seathes the sword on his back. From what I've read, it's part of combo so you can't spam endlessly. Is it true?

It's not a bug, it's intended to be that way. You can cancel it into RT+A to prevent such long animation

R2 - The Spirit Slash combo ends with a sheathe
It's part of the combo and the playstyle as it sets you up to use Critical Draw skill that tends to be on Long Swords.

This is part of the combo, but there are ways to limit the time loss by doing the Special Sheath (R2+X) then Iai Slash (△) attack

[TheSwegLord]

sheathe and either wait for parry or iai slash goofy ahh

[K1ll3rc0mb0]

its part of the weapon. after the round house spirit slash, you automatically will sheath. you can negate this by special sheathing instead which will let you do the double slash right after. effectively continuing your attacks. its just how the weapon has been since previous games. its about skill clime. most weapons have become fairly easy to use but thanks to things like what you mentioned, it also keeps weapons hard to master. this gives people the continued feeling of accomplishment as they get better with their weapon even if they are already adequate enough to complete the game before mastering the weapon.

Many thanks lads, case closed.
