Ditto as the title says.

This is bugging the hell out of me and I couldn't find any solution online.
Some say it's because weapons have gotten stats, but no matter how long I stared at the stats the gun wouldn't reveal anything of interest. Nor did my actual traits reveal anything like "Allows wielding power gun" or stuff. Not that it'd help very much since I was all into hacking.

I'm not far into the game, I've been holding off playing it because I want ridable monorails.
That'll probably never happen.

But this stuff puts a chill in me. What if I'd played say 100 hours and encountered this?

No I don't have any screenshots of this but if it is required, I can probably cook up a 1min video of it.

tl;dr

Can't unequip Gun
Can't replace Gun
Can't holster Gun
Inventory on Guns says "Action Blocked"
Location doesn't matter
Gun do get holstered in Car
If out of car, there's a chance the gun will immediately re-equip and unload bullets ( happened once )
If Gun get magically holstered by the power of Car, still can't unequip gun and all of above still applies

While the "action blocked" message certainly is annoying, there are certain places in the game where you are not supposed to use a weapon (so much for the FREEEEDOOOOM!!!!" we were promised in CP77).

In the same areas you usually also prohibited from double-jumping and running. This is around main quest areas.
But this IS just for a limited time, but it does happen several times throughout the game.

If the gun is forcibly blocked regardless of where you are, that is certainly a bug, but not one that I have encountered in my 4 playthroughs on various patches. Try selling the weapon at a vendor - that usually solves the issues of "stuck" weapons (cant' swap or replace weapons), which I have experienced, though on an old patch.

As for riding the monorail, there are mods available for that. ;)

I knew it, I absolutely knew that someone would say " Some places you can't draw a gun ".
Even though I wrote specifically, > Location doesn't matter ಠ_ಠ Reeee!

Yes, it is indeed a bug. Was reading another thread earlier about people whose builds gotten completely ruined.. Yikes.

Really now?
Does it modify the map to include a full-sized Monorail that you can walk around in and look at the city through the windows while the train travels around? If so, sign me up for that! :D If not, meh :(

Chillax, I read it, and that's why I specified that's how it is supposed to be, before going on to say bugs do happen and suggesting a solution in the 3rd paragraph.

And yes, there are mods that allow you to ride the monorail. You already see them in the game, but the feature to ride them apparently got cut from the final game.

The mods just allows you to use them - don't know about walking around in the monorail cars, but you can sit in the seats onboard and switch between 1st person and 3rd person view to look around through the windows while travelling.

Well here's what I discovered as I just tried it.
And first got frustrated by the fact that Cy2077 decided to give me old settings instead of my new settings so I had to change the graphics first. Ugh..

If I sell my weapon, I still can't equip another weapon.
It still just registers as action blocked.

( Think I'm about to throw a /¤)"% HISSY fit if this image don't get attached now )

Where are you in the game (main quest progression), and when did the bug first happen? And which patch are you playing on?

Well since the goddamn image refuses to attach to this message which is doing no favors to my mood right now.
I will put it in very, very calm terms.

It doesn't matter where I am in the story, or in the game.
It doesn't matter - forget about that. Don't try to look for logical reasons.

Because prior to me stopped playing some six months+ back since I didn't see much point in playing at the time, I did not have these issues. Ok, none of them. I could be, in my safe house, or I could be.. Well anywhere, and I could SWITCH my inventory as I pleased. If I wanted to switch weapon, I'd switch my weapon.

I don't remember how it was regarding drawing or holstering, but let's assume that was working as intended.

Now, which I am using the latest patch because I reinstalled the game.
- I cannot holster my weapon
- I cannot unequip, nor equip ANY weapon, because all I get is "Action Blocked" message

What this tells me, in straight up gaming programming lingo buffonery, is that the game is permanently queuing some action that cannot be changed until it executes, except that it won't ever execute, ending up in this loop of being unable to holster, unequip nor change weapon.

I hope this makes it crystal clear what my issue is, so you don't think I'm doing something "The developers didn't intend like shooting Johnny in the face".

Looking for a logical solution is the rather obvious place to start when doing troubleshooting.

I work with IT, and you would not believe some of the weird tech issues I have encountered - I once had a case of audio stuttering and crackling on my personal PC, regardless of source, that came progressively over time. But it all went away the moment I disconnected from the internet. The cause, I found after 3 months, was the anti-virus software I used at the time (Avast - avoid btw).

Trying to find the logic in that gave me a headache, so I know what you mean.

Okay, so let me see if I got it right: you played earlier, with no issues at all - and then you reinstalled the game and kept playing on the same savefiles?

In that case, a guess would be that last time you played you were in a place where you could not use a weapon - and that game fact (actual term in the case of CP77) got stuck when you reinstalled with changed gamefiles.

As far as solutions go, if that's the case, I see 2:
1 - Start a new game, where the entire save will be with the same gamefiles.
2 - Use mods and character editors to "un-break" your character.

I've done both myself, and in terms of time required, starting a new game would be the best choice, depending on how far into the game you are. Less than 40 hours of playtime, and I would say start over.

EDIT:
I googled the issue and possibly found a 3rd solution - have you unlocked Act 2, and can leave Watson?

If this is the bug you have, have you tried the suggested solution?

Well since I refuse to sleep with some random NPC, and I cannot say I've done that mission.
That leaves editor or just restarting as my only options.

And since I am very early game ( meeting Dexter early ), it is thankfully not a big loss of progress.
But it is the fear, of what if it happens again, when I've gotten much further?
That is why I wrote here, because that'd be devastating.

But it certainly seems to be related to that reddit post that's for sure.


( PS. jUst checked out that monorail mod.. That seems to be all I want of Monorails D: Awesome )

The NPC sex is not a quest or mission at any point in the game. It's just "something to do" in the CP77 world (also, infinitely repeatable). ^^

But no, you've not come that far. Meeting Dex is like the intro to the intro mission.

Let me check something ingame. I've rather deliberately broken my current character, so I can check whether the Reddit solution can work for you at your current point in the game (will still require modding, but not as serious as I thought it would be).

EDIT:
Okay, sadly the easiest solution doesn't work. The Joytoys aren't...available this early in the game. And I don't know which game fact affects the weapons, so finding the right one would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. Not sure it's even available with the current mod tools (the 1.3 patch broke the easiest tool for something like this).

That makes starting a new game sadly the best solution.

Have you tried verifying the game files? No idea why that would do anything, but it would take less time to do as a test compared to starting over.
