Combat Blade Catachan MKIII Flourish animation no longer plays

Issue Type (Required):

Animation

Issue Description (Required):

There is this knife spin/flourish that happens with the Catachan MKIII Combat blade when you switch to it. This spin is based on RNG with the switch, but when you cancel a heavy attack animation with a block, and then release, the flourish happens every time. This is a fun thing I like to do as I play, or whenever I get a moment to rest in an elevator. It’s honestly the main reason why I the knife is my favorite weapon in the game, and partially why I buy any of the knife skins I see. It’s just this fun little animation you guys made for it, and I’m bummed to see it gone.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

Main way: Switch from the ranged weapon to the combat knife. One of the animations is the spin.

Fun way (that is now gone):

  1. hold the attack button for a heavy attack
  2. Before the animation becomes the attack, simultaneously hold block. The grip on the knife will reverse, and you will be blocking.
  3. Release both buttons, the flourish animation will happen, where the character spins the knife from the block reverse grip, to the proper default grip.

I was playing some more, and turns out that specific animation now only works after you finish the heavy attack now. So maybe it isn’t a bug?
