Why when aiming for the first time, it never shoots?

[Adeptus Lebowski]

This mechanic or bug has cost me so many reloads lol. When i first aim and click the mouse button, nothing happens. I click again and then it finally shoots, but the enemy has moved by that point and i miss. Anyone else notice this issue?

Input Delay when shooting Guns

Just me or does Ellie just decide not to shoot sometimes? I've noticed this especially when I'm lining up a Shot with the Hunting Rifle, I have to click twice to fire a round.

is this a bug or deliberate design to simulate a real Trigger pull? or is it my imagination?

i have the same issue too and its super irritating. Also, sometimes she just unloads her gun, even though i clearly remember her loading all of the bullets in there.

Yeah I've had this happen a lot. Clicker running at me, I aim at his head and fire - nothing happens and I die. Very infuriating.

Guns are unloaded when you use a workbench to upgrade them, so you might not be reloading them after?

I've noticed that too, it's not completely empty but sometimes there's a bullet missing in the magazine

I don't remember that happening. are they completely unloaded for you when you exit the workbench?

Seems this could indeed be a bug.

I faced this issue since the TV building I think. It's not just gun, everything has delay even throwing brick. and even clicking on pause menu options.

I had some wierd mousesmoothing on, and found this is regedit Dator\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Naughty Dog\The Last of Us Part II\Input, EnableMouseSmoothing was on 1, turn it to 0 and try again.

EDIT: Didnt read correctly i see, but i leave it here anyway : )

I noticed that if you aim down the sights, the gun doesn't fire straight away on the first click. Instead, you have to wait ~3 seconds for Ellie to ♥♥♥♥ the hammer. Once done, the gun will fire on the first click. You can spam the LMB clicks instead and fire repeatedly straight away, but that will cost you increased ammo and less accuracy.

So I'm not sure that it's a bug but a weird shooting mechanics though.

[stakanctl]

You can test it by aiming down the sights, waiting for Ellie to ♥♥♥♥ the hammer, walking a bit and then shooting. It works this way. Unfortunately, when time passes (even if you haven't changed the weapon in hand), you will need to ♥♥♥♥ the hammer again. It's annoying af

no

Yes, it's some form of bug. I had perfectly aimed an enemy and nothing happened, then I was seen and quickly surrounded...poof, gone

[halbermensch999]

It doesn't happen all the time but enough to cause trouble from time to time

Is this for the pump-action?
I know you can rack it if you LMB without ADS.
