Problem with Shotguns

[KBob]

Which type of shotgun are you seeing this with?

it's not "stuck in reloading", it's just one more instance of "Reset" ... in this case number of reloaded bullets is re-setted to 0 ( most visible with pump and sawed off ) if you (not just shield) are hit by ANYTHING during reload process. As someone said above - it applies to all guns in general

this happens to my frontier saw also. The reload animation repeats 2 to 3 times. Gets frustrating when you're in the middle of a heated battle.

does your weapon have a melee buff

I AM NOT CRAZY WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!

I want to thank everybody for your replies to this. I feel your frustrations as well...

The Bad Butcher I will have to check once I get on the game but I do believe I have that shield equipped and I will try changing my shield and see if that solves the problem. I believe I just went to that shield and I believe my last shield was a tylon and it did it during that one a lot So are you saying the buffs on the gun and the extra enhancements on the shield cause the conflict with the reloading? Because that is what it is looking like you are saying.

indeed... for some reason. melee buffs seem to cause this issue when it get down to it. also... for the record for the flamers, i have maxed out my pump shotguns i am ego 1770 and pre ordered. i have seen this glitch since the tutorial i still have the scattergun, it has melee buff, the only thing that was not standard in my overall stats. it happens when your shield is down. check if you have a perk on that boosts your melee when your shield is down. im positive its a because all of the melee buffs trying to compute. when i take away all the melee bonuses i have no problems. but since i have maxed out pumps i have a permanent buff to melee so it will still happen but no where close to as much as it does with a melee setup.

and just a side note.... this is the reason why synergy mods are not working. they blocked them from activating, they knew this problem since beta

does your weapon have a melee buff

Some do, some don't, but they all have the same problem. My rocket launcher does not have any melee buff, either from the stock or a weapon bonus. It gets caught in the reload loop just like any of my other weapons.

Also, I have no perks that increase melee damage.

I just looked and my shield is a Rebel II with fire resistance
My VBI TACC Auto-Shotgun doesn't have melee damage on it
My VBI Auto-Shotgun has +6% DMG from above, Synergy:Veteran [2] +10% rate of fire for 2 seconds after full reload, +1.03 fire Rate

But no melee and not even any melee in perks with EGO

So you said Synergy doesn't work so that can't be an issue.

Well either way I am patient. I love the game and will keep playing and I hope this problem will get resolved because it looks like others have the same issue. Thank you The Bad Butcher for helping us and please keep us informed

I politely disagree. The most obvious is pump shottie. Put as big mag+ as you could .. and start full reloading around skitterlings - you'll get the bug in almost 100% of cases

Yeah pump is pretty broken too, I've used them but not as much as my sawed off (got an orange courier and a brutal blue) seems the more the animation the more likely it is to get reset so I can see why you'd say this, pump has a lot of animation to go through

Still having a problem with this. Got me killed at least once in pvp last night.

If you get hit, roll, stunned, or even try to continually fire your gun while reloading it will have a malfunction and start over. you must time your reloads strategically especially with pump or sawed of shotguns, lmgs can be a pain too because of long reload time.
