Equipped weapon needs to be trusted clientside

Issue Description (Required):

I have intermittent internet issues, be it minor ping or packet loss problems. Whenever they start the game becomes infuriating to play, as weapon swaps will fail to sync. The rest of the game is playable, but weapons will swap back. I’ll have to draw weapons twice, I’ll end up firing psyker bolts when I intended to use my melee at max peril, sending me over the limit.

The rest of the game performs perfectly fine with my internet how it is, I rarely rubber band. But weapon swaps reverting massively interrupt gameplay, and very regularly get me killed or downed. It’s really frustrating.

Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

This is an issue I have sometimes experienced as well.

Not a perfect solution, since not everyone can take advantage of it, but there’s a mod that attempts to address this (EDIT: see below): Guarantee Weapon Swap at Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Nexus - Mods and community

I haven’t used it, but it has a few thousands downloads and many endorsements, so I assume it works. And KamiUnitY makes great stuff!

EDIT: oh wait, I just read the last line of the description (again I haven’t used this because I don’t have server issues often):

This mod does not fix weapon swap bug from server desync. (the one where you already swap weapon but it jump back)

So sadly maybe not a fix!

I get the same issue and it’s very irritating. It’s got me downed a few times and is affecting my ability to enjoy the game. It even happens with thrown grenades not registering which is a big problem in emergency situations
