So...
I made a tech nekomata sniper rifle...
Got into a fight with some shooty people...
Pulled out my newly minted sniper rifle...
Lined up a shot, pulled the trigger and..... nothing... Will not fire at all...

Some other players on Steam have cited the same issue - did I miss an important tip about tech weapons?

And before you ask - yes, it has ammo lol

Just verified game files and am about to jump back in to see if the 29mb that downloaded afterwards did the trick - will advise as soon as I know.



EDIT: exiting and verifying the game fixed the issue =D

Thanks for sharing "the fix", I had this multiple times with different weapons.

Always thought there is some sort of "deamon" or "quickhack" that can disable this but not that I literally could restart the game it worked in the exact same situation it didn't work before, interesting. At least I can craft medipacks out of sparkling water and enegry drinks :p

I seem to ocassionaly have the same problem, also with Nekomanta. It seems to happen randomly.

Reloading the save might be fixing the issue, but so far I have only reloaded a game from a quick save made before I noticed that the rifle is jammed. (I got killed in that fight, would you believe?)

I'm not sure what will happen if I would save and reload the game with the problem noticed, but I will try it next time.

It can happen randomly. As can the opposite - being unable to charge a shot because the gun simply shoots when you click. Generally saving and reloading fixes it.

From the times I've had it occur, I suspect it's just not correctly clearing a lock from the weapon when you've been in a location/situation where the gun is disabled. There's a similar issue when it comes to running, jumping or scanning; sometimes if you've been in a location or cutscene that disables the ability it doesn't restore it properly once you leave, and you need to save and reload before it will work properly.

I got that bug constantly, wouldn't fire while scoped but it went away after some time so dunno.

Sprint will also break

had the same issue, but it only not fires when ads, it could fire without ads, and exit/ reload seemed to fix this for me.
