[RESOLVED] fix the f*cking shooting bug already!

[H u n k]

too many times I've been taking aim and trying to shoot at the right moment and the stupid gun will not fire. it has deprived me of so many critical shots it's frustrating beyond belief. FIX THIS INPUT DELAY NOW.

[Semipalmated Plover]

It's affecting me too. Hopefully they are reading this, but just to make sure, make a ticket here too https://support.nixxes.com/hc/en-us/articles/25468508846621-I-want-to-contact-The-Last-of-Us-Part-II-Remastered-PC-support

You could play the game on highest difficulty where there is no ammo and you have stealth your way through the whole game.

That's pretty ridiculous, the developer could fix the bug much more easily. Expecting players to completely change their playstyle because of it isn't the point. Especially since pure stealth is >almost< impossible in some areas on the highest difficulty. A perfect example are the Hillcrest houses, with what feels like 5 dogs and 20-30 enemies who can one-shoot you in the head easily.

well it's not a bug... it's an idiotic gameplay design If you pay attention to the gun you'll see ellie decocks her guns every time she puts them to holster, this is pretty unsafe to do with real guns. But a real gun like that should fire when you pull the trigger, also It'd stay ♥♥♥♥♥♥ until you run out of ammo and fire empty gun. If you aim a gun for a while and don't change weapons she'll ♥♥♥♥ the hammer with her thumb.
EDIT: I love censorship... the hearts mean put the hammer down or pull it back btw. But the term used to describe that is also a term for a male chicken... or a penis

since penis isn't censored you should from this day forward refer to it as penising a gun. Or "Ellie penises and unpenises the gun when holstering"

It is a bug, because it does it on first click with my medkits as well. And sometimes the guns do work first click, really quickly, before you see Ellie pulling the hammer down. The bug happens about 25% of the time i think. There's absolutely no pattern with when the guns do or do not fire either, whether you've been loading beforehand etc etc. Sometimes you change to ANY gun and it just won't fire first click.

The cocking animation is irrelevant, it just plays when you aim for long enough, you can interrupt it with firing.

She also doesn't ever actually decock it, it magically decocks itself, same as how when you unload the semi auto handgun at the table then leave, the hammer doesn't get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ by the slide. Note that with the taurus pt92 and other similar beretttas, the safety has a decocker built in, it isn't unsafe to decock the gun.

The bug affects everything when using keyboard and mouse seemingly, not present on controllers, nor does the cocking animation mean anything, im assuming whats happened is confusion over pressing the button, input not being registered as you've been aiming for long enough that the cocking animation plays.

I wonder if he has ever played a shooter or even knows how a gun works. Cocking the hammer on a double-action weapon has absolutely no purpose in relation to firing. With double-action guns, you don’t need to manually c*** (can't believe i have to censor this, wtf valve?) the hammer, since the trigger does it for you. Manually cocking it might make sense if you want a lighter trigger pull for a precise shot, but that’s a pretty specific context.

Long story short: he's talking nonsense. It's a bug that needs to be fixed because it ruins a lot of stealth sections, and especially in permadeath mode, it can mess up a run really fast.

I am playing on Grounded... there's still relatively large amount of ammo. Sure I stealth through most but still max out on all ammo so I start shooting occasionally. This bug is pretty annoying and never happens in No Return so surely they can take it out of regular game too.

[LilDipper]

Use a controller, issue resolved.

[H u n k]

People still go with the "c*ck the hammer" theory? This literally happens with every weapon. Including Abby's Semi-Auto Rifle and her Striker Fired Military Pistol.

Do you have conflicting keybinds, like melee and gun bound to the same key?

Nope, I have one key rebound but there's no conflicting ones

[animal_PLANET]

I have noticed when prolonged aiming at enemy. I was aiming for awhile and it took some time for Ellie to click back the hammer. You heard her do it. Not sure why it took so long, but if thats the case than it could be whats going on. I didnt fire though and was a stealth takedown.

I have mostly done stealth kills so far. Just got past the movie theater and havent noticed this issue. Besides what I just described.
