  • Care to actually fix this? This is constantly happening, especially in the very last fights, wonder why?

    Gun is jamming when I am about to shoot at the enemy this is major game-breaking bug!

    I’m glad to know it’s not just me. This happens to me with burst weapons like the Prowler and Hemlok.

    I have suffered it also, there is like huge input lag on mouse shoot click to actually get the bullet out. I am glad to hear that it was not only my game that sux this way too. When this happens it almost seems like the enemies are in an invisible safety bubble that you can not really shoot through to get a kill. Its almost the same feeling that when you shoot the enemy, in the same split second the enemy moves irradic direction. This kind of behaviour is part that problem: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1751985790  Got 5 hits and died, but was hearing only 2 shots and saw 2 shots... Instant dead.

  • @PsyhiX69Happened to me but only at the start of one match. I picked up an alternate and there was a very noticeable delay between me pressing the fire button and the gun firing. The delay time was very similar to using a Havoc without a turbo charger. I had notother issues such as lag, high ping etc. My two squad mates got downed so I quit the match shortly after because I was having to try and pre-fire all my shots with an alternator against a full squad of 3.

    Any words on this issue?

    Like seriously it happens 1/10th of the time.

    Just happened to me again.

  • this is not a bug, this is a hack, and it happens because Respawn thinks is a great idea to include data from future legends and weapons in the game, I don't think they will fix this til Season 17

  • Season 20

    Same issue. Different legends. Fuse for sure.

    Single shot and burst shot weapons like 30-30 or Mastiff.

  • Facing this exact issue, SMGS & ARs are the worst offenders. The bullet just stops firing randomly. And it started happening after the Season 20 rank split. Every time i face one issue or the other with this game.
