Summarize your bug Underbarrel Bug- If you have a UnderBarrel equipped on any weapon, eventually your weapon will become unable to aim using any scope attachment. I was sometimes able to swap weapons with one on the ground and fix this temporary, even that eventually stopped working and bug had gotten worst. It only happens when your using a underbarrel of any kind it seems. The ones i mainly have noticed it happening on are underbarrel grenade types smoke, fragmentation, Incendiary, and etc... though. All you can do is keep redeploying when it happens and it happens A LOT!!! Means you got to use the weapon and shoot no scope attachment which drops the accuracy and makes it harder to win a gunfight in majority situations. When it does happen the menu that you pop up to undo attachments is messed up so you can no longer use that until you die or redeploy.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I have been using the AC42 and SFAR lately for stuff use a underbarrel attachment such as smoke,incediary, and frag on it and play and it should occur and happen. It does everytime i use one of them while playing. If you use it up then take the underbarrel off after use it wont happen but that keeps time consuming and waste time, especially if you forget.
What happens when the bug occurs? I cant aim my weapon using any scope attachment and my attachment menu is messed up and cant be used, it will be bugged and not open up and display.
What should be happening instead? It should let me aim my weapon without the scope attachment being bugged and unusable and i should be able to use my attachments menu too
This really needs to be fixed ASAP! Its starting to get really annoying. I dont know what all weapons its doing it on and what underbarrel attachments but it has happened majority the time when using underbarrel attachments such as smoke, fragmentation, Incendiary, and etc... those type underbarrels a lot. Any weapon allowing use of those is probably being effected. It may be other underbarrel attachments doing it too. I do know i tested this out and its definetly happening on those i mentioned. I been using SFAR and AC42 a lot lately which allows those underbarrel grenades.At one time picking up a weapon off ground and switching it back to yours fixed it temporarily. Now that doesent seem to work. Only other way to fix it is die and redeploy. I have noticed it does not happen if you use the underbarrel grenades then take it off but thats very time consuming and if you forget well time to die and redeploy to fix it. Once this bug occurs though your attachment pop up menu will not display correctly and even show it will be bugged instead so unattaching or removing it wont be possible til you die and redeploy. I mean some guns you dont even need a scope or scope attachment to aim and use and kill with, but some its very hard to do so without a scope attachment or scope lol. I will say having a scope attachment and scope does improve accuracy and improve your chances winning a gunfight. Because without it you gonna have to be up close to even use the weapon lol. Ive just been attaching and unattaching as i need it for now, just starting to get annoying not easy to always remember to do so until this bug is fixed.It also seems to happen majority of the time after using a vehicle mostly after exiting from it after using one gunner seats and after using specialists like Boris,Casper,and Irish with special equipment like sentry turrets,recon drones, and barricade.As soon as you place a sentry turret,use recon drone, or place a barricade sometimes usually after few times using it in one life it will cause this to happen. I have videos and photos somewhere showing this though. Ive heard others in game complain about this, I know its not only me its happening to. Ill try to upload some photos and a video soon, maybe tomorrow here if I have time showing it live.
