Delay when trying to load special shell from ADS

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Bugs

Now that the game has more combat shotguns with actually useful special shells, I think it’s time this issue got addressed: after firing from ADS with a combat shotgun and then immediately trying to load a special shell, there is a significant delay if you hit the Special button before your weapon has completely exited the ADS animation. To reproduce:

  • Equip combat shotgun
  • Aim down sights
  • Fire
  • Let go of Right Mouse Button and immediately hit Special Action
  • Watch as your view gets hung up in the ADS animation for additional time even though you’ve let go of RMB
  • Your special round also doesn’t get loaded due to this animation hangup

I’d like to add that if you ADS, fire, let go of RMB, wait for your weapon to completely finish the animation of returning to hipfire, and then hit Special Action, there are no animation hangups and you end up loading the special ammo significantly faster.

Luckily the slug special has great hipfire accuracy, but yes this delay is noticeable
