Problem with reloading

[Huszan]

I recently started playing as Gaige and as You can espect i went for anarchy build. My problem is- rocket launchers won't reload when i reach 0 bullets. I have to change to pistol and to launcher again to trigger autoreload. Anyone can help?

Hmm.. I don't think so

OK, I looked at all me Mechros... I don't have that launcher, I don't have the issue on a green Vlad I have on one. Looks like I am no help, sorry.

Can you manually reload, or do you have to swap weapons and swap back to get the launcher to reload?

If you can manually reload, I've run into that with various characters. I think what's happening may be something like this -- You fire the last round in the mag, but the next shot is the one that won't use ammo, so the launcher doesn't auto-reload (because it doesn't need to). But then when you fire the next shot, the auto-reload doesn't trigger because the mag was already empty. It's like the launcher skipped the point when it would normally reload, and the auto-reload isn't triggered again after that.

FWIW, it seems like the problem is triggered by manual reloads, and as long as I always let the launcher auto-reload, I don't run into it. When the problem does crop up, I have to keep an eye on the ammo and be prepared to manually reload if the auto-reload doesn't kick in.

If you actually can't manually reload, and the only way to get the launcher to reload is to swap weapons, I don't think I've seen that. That might be some combination of the glitch that I described above and "Smaller, Lighter, Faster".
