Can't take out any weapons anymore

[Sierra]

Starting the game/loading save again does not change it in any way, I can't take out anything, I can't use the VATS either, anyone having this problem ? Any way to solve this ?

Try going into 3rd person and then back to 1st. I've had that happen once or twice.

[Sierra]

It changes nothing either, I've tried that before :(

It's a bug, you can draw them but they're invisible. To prove it, trying shooting. See?

Okay, switch perspectives and switch back. Fixed? Good. If not, you'll have to wait for a patch, I'm afraid.

[kdodds]

Oh, if it doesn't work with weapon drawn, try without, then draw, then switch and switch back, and combinations of those.

[Sierra]

The thing is, my character won't draw any kind of weapon, not even invisible ones, I can't shoot either as my character doesn't have any weapon equiped, I can't even raise my fists !

[Gorgious Klatoo]

Same for me :(

[Sierra]

J'ai du revenir à une sauvegarde anterieure , pas trouvé de solution autrement, je te conseille de faire pareil !

[Sierra]

I just loaded a previous save where my weapons worked !

Buy fallout 3 (not new vegas) for cheap and get the same game working fine ....

[Gorgious Klatoo]

Well, you could tell us how to try...?

Also having this problem as to this morning. :( Game is completely unplayable now, can't draw or fire weapons at all - changing from 1st to 3rd, reloading, rebooting, and restarting don't do anything, nor does quick-travelling somewhere.

There's a console command for enabling player control from the old games, it still be in fallout 4, and useable to fix that problem, give me a minute to look it up.

Try CAM (closeallmenus) if it's a dialog or something (like when you walk up to a store owner), that'll close it, and allow you to use weapons. Note: it will also disable achievements until you restart the game.

DisablePlayerControls and EnablePlayerControls may also work.

Still looking for more.

Try to find a previous save where guns used to work !! I did and it worked, I don't know why it happened though

[Tolwrath]

Okay, I found an instance of this happening in a previous game. The solution was command "enablePlayerControls 1 1 1 1 1 1 1" with seven 1s with a space between each one.

Confirmed Fix:

1. During normal gameplay (not in VATS, a terminal, a conversation, a menu, etc.) , open the console and run the command 'DumpInputEnableLayers'
2. If you see a Layer there, note it's number. Not the hexadecimal one, the normal integer one -- such as '0'.
3. Run the command 'ResetInputEnableLayer [#]' to remove the restrictions that layer had.
