It happens to me all the time any time i use a pump shotgun and in cloak. It will reload to minus one full reload then when u fire it will only fire one round then reload will start all over and it will continue this way unless u hit the reload button to make it a full reload after it auto reloads.
Constantly happens in arkfalls. I have a shotgun that holds 8 shells. I'll have two shots left, and get a lull in attack waves. Press r to reload. Sometimes the count goes to 8 and then wraps over and back to 2. If I get hit by a direct attack or an aoe, it will interrupt the reload and it appears to start over. Sometimes it will load 2 and quit. Sometimes I get a total of 4 shells. Firing while the reload is taking place might affect it as well. With sawed off shotguns, I constantly see the 0 1 0 1 0 1 issue others have reported. Moving while reloading seems to make this worse, or might be required to see the problem. Standing still to reload just isn't an option most times.
It's not just pump action shotgun, its pretty much every weapon. My theory is that it is server related. I had the "reload bug" for like 2 weeks. Sometimes I would reload my LMG I had equipped 3 or more times before it would "actually" reload. Since the patch for the this one my problems with the reload bug have temporary gone. Not the first time though, after the first major patch the "reload bug" seemed fix. Then a few days later, it was worse then it had ever been. I don't have the "reload bug" for right now, but I know a dozen or more people who DO have it right now. So how is it that I and a few others don't have the bug, but others do? Seems likely that it has to be server latency or something like that, in my opinion.Originally Posted by Athelan
Ive had the shotgun continue reloading after it fills at 8 and randomly stop at 2 or 3. More often at zero, prompting me to reload again. Although its happenned with FRC SAWs, Rocket Launchers and even ARs. I dont think its limited to just shotguns nor to overcharge since I use all 4 powers. Hasnt happened with snipers, infectors, detonators, etc.
Its not just pump actions this prob happens on its most if not all weapons and seems to be related to the 'state' of having a damage buff/de-buff.
If you want to test it quickly load up with an assault rifle using cloak as an ability and equip the perk that increases damage while cloaked (might want to put 3 points in it too). Face a wall activate cloak and unload the full mag. Dont hit R just let it do a reload from empty. The reload bug will kick in with a double reload and use up twice the ammo.
I can repro this 100% of the time on my main character. If a dev want to look at my toon from their end pls do to see how he is set up.
Its because of overccharge, if your overcharge ends and you are reloading, it resets your reload and you have to do it again.
I have the exact same issue appearing for the long time. I'm using Green Grind Fraggeer pump shotgun I got from mission (no level requirement) in PvP matches in Observatory, using Decoy as my main perk, but I think the issue appears everywhere, no matter of the situation.
bump because this is a game breaker for me,
also this actully affects all weapons, itd just that due to the way pumps reload one round at a time it happens more often and is more noticeable.
also note this only happens in combat, and is prob a bug involved with reloading in combat.
this is not true because i dont use shotgun with my overcharge build,
i have a problem when reloading my pump shotgun when i use single minded it often takes the ammo and retests to 0 then continues and doesnt finish fully reloading
