since patch 3.2, sometimes upon being revived, one or all action keys stop working and only work again upon respawning, movement & ESC keys/mouse still work. I play Dozer & use the Razer Orbweaver which has WSDA & ESC assigned. The last time this happened I had the melee knife equipped upon respawn instead of the primary weapon which I died with

Summarize your bug If you are playing as Dozer with the shield and are killed by an enemy player as you hit them with the shield, then should a player revive you, you can only run around with your knife, you cannot use it, swap weapons or do anything other than move until you redeploy.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Player as Dozer using the shield. Attempt to hit an enemy player as they kill you, more often than not, it happens towards the end of the shield animation. Have a team mate revive you.
What happens when the bug occurs? Only melee weapon is available, you cannot weapon swap, throw gear, or use any actionable skills.
What should be happening instead? The player should be revived with all items working correctly.

This appears to only occur since the latest patch, could it have something to do with the fact Dozer had undergone changes to prevent using shield in prone? thus being revived in a prone state with shield means it causes the bug?

If dozer holds the shield and gets killed, after the revive a knife will be held. Can’t put it away, can’t change weapons etc. have to redeploy. PS4

Hey @GoldenArms @JOGAGATYA @ThrowThaBones @MadnessMadMe @ProfessorBoreas,

I merged a couple of threads about this "Dozer revived holding a knife only" issue.

Could you perhaps share a video (via YT for example) of the issue, if you have this available?

Hi @EA_Leeuw  I have the same issue on PC, when I am hitting with the Dozer shield and someone kills me and a teammate revives me, Dozer only holds a melee weapon and it doesn't do anything with the melee wapon and can't do anything else, only redeploy fix the issue. I recored a video and published in YT: https://youtu.be/2W-YtthSHXc
