High level skills not showing up.

[Lord Retro]

I learned rifles up to lvl 7 now, but the according skills (double tap and headshot) dont show up in my skill thingie in combat. Whats up with that?

[Lord Retro]

does that mean im the only one that has that problem?

[SolomonKane]

Known bug.

[Too.Much.Hustle]

I'm having this problem too. Any solution or are we screwed?

[PJC]

Also having this issue with pistol and double shot

[Tzudro]

Either we're screwed, or, I think it's possibly a bug related to your chosen class. On my decker I jammed a bunch of points into pistol to keep up with the fights, after putting a bunch of points into decking, of course. No problem decking, but my pistol skills are not showing up. Started another round of DMS, pistol skills showing up no problem, this time with a Samurai. Also doing Life on a Limb and no problems with my Samurai pistol skills. Any Samurai having this problem with their weapon skills? If so, we'll call it an even bug across the board.

[Too.Much.Hustle]

Yeah, mine was a Samurai. None of my high level pistol or rifle skills showed up.

[ArchAngel]

Maybe it depends on the pistol you use?

[Too.Much.Hustle]

Seems a stretch. I used a number of different pistols including an endgame pistol.

[Lord Retro]

maybe its just that the game is bugged?

[paladin181]

Eh. Class choice only affects starting skills (and clothing). It doesn't affect anything else, so if you take skills later they should function as normal.

[Too.Much.Hustle]

Yeah, it's clearly just a bug. Going to wait for a few patches before my next playthrough.

[Noanmus]

the game does say that these skills are only available with certain weapons and the best version of a type of weapon wont necessarily be able to use all the abilities you get in the relevant karma tree.
that said check each abilty to see if it actually says that, the problem is probably a bit of both weapon design and one or two bugs.
