Force Staves Special Attack doesn't work (the melee strike)

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Bugs
1

Issue Description: The melee attack on the Equinox MK III Trauma Force Staff and Nomanus Mk VI Surge Force Staff doesn’t work when used. I have tried with both my usual mouse keybinding (which works for other weapons) and to rebind it to my keyboard.
According to the weapon description it should have a “Strike” attack when doing this, which is also true according to the lore.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Play any map or enter the Meat Grinder/Training Field
  2. Equip one of the Force Staves
  3. Try to use the Special Attack
  4. See that nothing happens

Thank you for your report. When you say the attack doesn’t work, do you mean that it never comes out, or that it doesn’t do anything to enemies?

It doesn’t come out. There are no difference between activating the attack and doing nothing at all.

Ty. And other weapons’ special attacks come out no problem?

Yep. The other weapons seems to have worked quite consistently this patch.
So far I have only had issues with the Force Stave.
