What happens when the bug occurs? If you have single fire already enable and you attach the anvil rounds you will have two options of single fire. Single fire normal and single fire anvil. This will reset if you change your weapon regardless of secondary but remains consistent if you do not change weapons. When you remove the anvil round, this will also return it to the default auto-fire.
What should be happening instead? I believe when you attache the anvil rounds it should either default to auto then have anvil when changed or vice versa but should not have two single fire modes.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? > Equip a R-301 or Flatline. > Swap to single fire > Attach Anvil Rounds Hopup. You will remain in single fire with normal rounds Switching fire mode will enable Anvil Swapping again will enable normal bullets in single fire mode > Swap weapons > Swap Back You now have the normal Auto Fire and Single fire Anvil This is how I knew this must be a bug as if it was a feature, it would be retained when weapon has been changed. I actually like this idea of having single fire and anvil mode as I use single fire with the Flatline at all ranges.
(had to trim a lot for upload)
Video shows me swap to single fire and attach the rounds.
Fire a few normal single fire shots to show normal damage.
Swap to Anvil mode
Here you can see damage increase.
I then swapped to single fire again with normal damage.
This is reproducible on the R-301 but did notr have space for video
I do DevOps, not testing, but this is clearly a code issue and not hardware.
When Anvil rounds are attached, gun swaps to Auto and will have to be switched to enable Anvils.
Maybe a lot of people haven't noticed this before as when you're looting you swap weapons a lot.
