Mercenary stops shooting

+1, same issue

I'm playing on PC with controller and it happens alot. 3-4 second reload time before it starts shooting. It makes mobs and bosses hard to deal with

+1 this keeps happening and it's infuriating. Playing with the controller on PC and on the ps5, it started for me once I got a few levels in. It's totally unplayable sadly.

Happens to me. I think dodge roll canceling reload then the character seemingly forgetting that he needs to reload is how I'd describe it. It's annoying and has cost me a few deaths. Happens less frequently now that I specifically try not to dodge right after I fire.

Can't say I experience it just on switching ammo types but I took all the reload speed passives and I tend to permafrost/fragmentation.

Glad to see a post about this, I noticed this yesterday and had thought it may be a weird side effect of switching to a crossbow that loads an additional bolt. Often this happens when switching ammo and reloading because of that as others have described.

Very weird to experience, makes me feel like I'm going crazy or my mouse is dying on me needing to click or hold down click again to make 100% sure it's registering.

I have a similar problem. My guy will suddenly stop shooting and a clicking sound can be heard like the crossbow is jammed. Extremely disruptive to the gameplay, and makes me want to abandon the character, which obviously isn't good.

Can confirm this bug, happening constantly, on reload the Merc is stuck, cannot shoot, cannot change direction, stays facing the same way regardless of the direction you're attempting to travel, 3-4 SECONDS between actually reloading and being able to shoot.

Can reproduce on my Merc at any time, primarily happens if using Galvanic Shards, if you point the Merc to the upper right so you can see him reloading you can see that the reload animation for Galvanic Shards is extremely slow, taking several seconds to complete the motion, which is causing the lack of shooting and being stuck facing the same direction while reloading.

Easy to see, just use Galvanic Shards, hold shift, shoot, watch the reload animation.

Unfortunately I agree with previous posts, I experienced the same bug constantly to the place where playing becomes annoying, PC

I've been experiencing this bug since day 1. It's very inconsistent but it mostly happens when I'm Using High Velocity Rounds. In the same fight, I switch to HVR, keep holding the trigger down and it reloads and continues firing smoothly. Two seconds later I do the exact same thing and it keeps clicking for 1-2 seconds in between reloads. Please fix ASAP.

Same problem it's making merc for me unplayable I don't want to give up, but running in circles not firing the having to click my trigger ( RT ) 5 or 6 times to start firing again and I'm dead.
