Problem with Shotguns

[BaiorOfRed]

It's annoying in PVE and very frustrating in PVP. I once used my bezerker combat shotgun on someone but the clip wasn't full, got them down to a sliver of health then was forced to reload while they were shooting back. I was full health and shields and had a full thing of ammo, so I knew I had them.

Reload bugged once and my ammo vanished, now only 17 rounds left, so I tried to reload again. Reload bugged again, all ammo lost...dead.

Really wanted to toss my controller after that.

This reload bug happens with any weapon, no matter what kind it is. I use AR's a lot, and when I reload the mag it seems to go into a 2 or 3 reload animation phase.

To whom it may concern : I know this isn't a major issue compared to other issues you have but this is an annoying issue. I am trying to level my shotgun up but when reloading clips, reloading clips, reloading clips. The shotguns keep reloading and it makes it hard to get shots off when the shotgun is stuck in reload zone. I believe a couple of other weapons do this as well. This makes it hard to do competitive matches. Well let me know if you are working on this issue or will be or if this is even a issue I would appreciate a heads up.

Duh, that's the idea of reloading. LOL

The shield you are using is a glitched shield. you are all using a respark contender. change your shield, or use the VOT FRAGGER. it reloads one shot and fires 2 at a time with a mag size of 10. i try to reload up to 8 then shoot and repeat. the respark reloader isnt glitched so use that one if your looking for the 40% 3sec.

forgot the name of my shield but I just picked it up before the server reset, it is 85% with 6 second delay.

Nope. This isn't true at all. I don't use the respark and there are times when I'm not in combat (not being damaged) and this bug will occur. It doesn't just happen with shotguns, but pretty much any weapon. My VBI AR1 Armada that shoots 3 rockets in a row does this same thing. Since we're limited to the amount we get in PVP to 3/7. If I get the reload bug twice, my inventory is gone and I have to go to an ammo dump to get more.

And here I thought I was crazy.

I've been experiencing this with a pump shotgun. I'll be in the middle of the LONGEST RELOAD OF ALL TIME (9 shot clip), and it'll be like... 1...2...3...4...0. Wait, 0? Why 0? Ugh, reload again, I guess. I'm also occasionally getting all the shots drained from my clip. I'll shoot 9...8...7...6...5...0. Missing a few shots there.

Not the end of the world since I think shotguns suck anyway, but irritating.

9? try 12!

I have had the same reload bug issue with various weapons for a while now... it is getting really frustrating. At the moment I am using Assault Rifles and a combat shotgun that shoots an explosive. I have seen it on other weapons type on both my 'toons as well. Not only is the reloading (up to 3 times in a row, sometimes only twice in a row, and usually proper single reload) happening, but each reload eats a full clip.

Also I have had a reload bug, where if I reload with say 6 rounds left in my AR mag, when reloaded the mag counter drops from full back to 6, and I need to hit the reload key again....

This is a really frustrating bug. Could you just not make reloading independent of what is happening to you (short of being stunned)?

does your weapon have a melee buff
