Interesting, never really noticed it happening. DX11 or DX12? Swapping weapons/unequipping and reequiping won't fix also?

Only explanation of something getting worse overtime in offline would be lack of garbage collection, cumulative accessed nones or something alike. I thought it was online client because it could be related to client replication.

If it uses projectiles instead of tracehits, maybe they aren't being properly destroyed and stop spawning. Not sure if it could be caused by something graphically, it's unlikely to me. Do you see the tracers coming out of it or none when it stops doing damage?

its the only gun and still does it. cause to lazy to go out.

i checked with ESC
it says status online but my mode is offline.
i think boxes get a micro delay now too.

every other gun works perfectly
changing region
dieing
unequip and even using another gun bbefore equiping again alos does not work
maybe its the exploive fire damage. i check if i have another gun (no other weapon with explosive bullets that does firedamage in my inventory)
its only the overhelmer

Cool, thanks for the tests, I'll try it myself later to see if I can reproduce it.

Overwhelmer has a small fire AoE and is the only weapon that deals two damage types. I think it has projectiles, it deals physical damage on impact (singletarget) and fire damage as a small explosion around it, so it indeed may be an outlier on the bug.

i finished the mission with with the agi core.
the next main mission is board meating

i think that cutscene fixed it. enemies react again and get damage from the overwhelmer

i can confirm the other 3 times it happened to me was me exploring and not doing missions.
so maybe cutscenes reset something.
