[Bug?] Sometimes I can't use my weapon at all

[( * )]

Hello,

My main weapon (a shotgun) sometimes refuses to shoot, it doesn't even appear in my hand.
This bug appeared a few days ago for me.
Has this happened to you?

I tried suicide, didn't solve the issue, had to restart entirely.
If someone has a solution, I'm all ears. :)

Thanks for your help.

Something similar happened to me once after a failed stratagem call-in. My char was seemingly stuck in an animation without a weapon and unable to call in stratagems. Could not switch to any weapons, moving/diving to the ground didn't change it.
Calling up the map and dropping it again fixed it.

Yes, this is a bug, there are many such bugs. I found a pseudo solution for this.
If you can, don’t interrupt the animations, any animations, pressing a button, unscrewing a valve, reloading a rocket launcher.

IF a player joins your game while you are mid animation your gun will be unusable for the rest of the mission.
Enjoy lol

I was wondering how it happens. Thanks for this.

Was pointed to here from another topic. That could explain it, since we often have random people from our steam friends list who we haven't spoken to in years joining as a 4th out of the blue.

Yup, happened to me once. No fix other than starting a new drop. Doesn't matter if you pick one up off the ground, swap it, etc.

I'm sure it will be fixed at some point.

First time hearing this one

Usually if I'm the host and dive into or out of a friendly orbital or eagle, etc, and die, whatever weapon I'm holding disappears on next drop. Having someone kill you or suicide doesn't reset it but if you get the enemy to kill you, you should drop with the weapon again.

I don't dive around team mates as much and haven't had this issue in awhile.

Any fix? My heavy and primary don't fire but the trigger works for everything else
