Still able to use 2h weapons with arm/hand missing

Post by Nubs » 05 Dec 2016, 14:05

Bug Description: I've noticed that recently, both on myself and others, that if you lose one arm, hand, or even both, you are still able to fire 2 handed weapons. I noticed this when i was wielding a smart gun, lost a hand, yet could keep on firing it. I have not tested if you are able to 'unwield' and rewield a 2 handed weapon with a missing arm, but it may be possible.


Steps to reproduce:
1.Lose an arm, or slash one off
2.still be able to use 2 handed weapons/guns
3.You're a wizard now!

I witnessed this also.

My belief is that, if you lose an arm but haven't dropped your rifle, it'll still remain in the position it was in until you put it down. Probably then it fixes itself, but until then, it sounds like a serious exploit that I bet some players would take advantage of.
Sometimes, bravery comes from the most unlikely sources.

Well, for one thing, unless it's a smartgun then you can really only use it for the rest of the current magazine, or however many shells are left if it's a shotgun. With only one hand it's impossible to reload unless you're using a smartgun, and also, unless you're already on tramadol you'll probably drop your gun in short order. When a hand is chopped off, your arm breaks, and when your arm is chopped off your chest breaks. It did used to be a bug that you could wield 2 handed guns with just one hand/arm, but Noize has fixed that bug. So as soon as you drop it from wielded, you'd be unable to wield it again, and even if you had a gyro on, you'd be unable to reload. You'd probably end up automatically dropping it from broken bone pain, and being unable to wield it again. So, yes it's a bug, but not really much of an exploit.

Yeah i can confirm, while you may be able to wield it briefly, when it runs out of ammo, you are fucked

Not very important due to the limited use but confirmed.

Asking this to be moved to confirmed.

You can un-wield the weapon and re-wield if the weapon was in the hand that was cut off, I had my rifle in my right hand and lost it was still able to fire and use it. So you can easily reload it....
