Weapon Lock Glitch

[SeizeTheDay]

There's this glitch I've encountered where I'm unable to shoot or swap weapons. I've only experienced it with the pistol and there's no fix that I know of other than killing myself.

Here's a video of it happening to me.

I'm doing a pistol/gernade only playthrough on Nightmare difficulty and I'm planning to do this on Ultra-Nightmare once I master some of the more difficult areas of the game. If this were to happen to me during Ultra-Nightmare I'd probably cry. Is there any ideas on what might be causing this glitch or a quick fix without having to kill myself?

Hi, I know its quite some time ago, but did you find out what was causing this?
I seem to have a simular problem. On the meltdown mission I had it twice now. There is no way out. The UI shows the weapons change, but the weapon in hand stays on the pistol, that is unable to fire.

A lot late to the game.. but finally paying through myself and ran into this. Turns out its due to trying to fire the pistol before the grenade animation completes.. at least that's the best we could come up with. A simple fix when its glitched is to open inventory (tab on PC).. simply wait for the animation to finish or my favorite melee after grenade toss then back to pistol firing.

Just posted a guide related to this

Grab a ledge, any ledge.
After the pull-up animation has finished, everything is unlocked and useable again.
