this bug and
Reactivating the weapon special of the Illisi force sword will play the animation, but not actually reactivate the special - Warhammer 40,000: Darktide / Bugs - Fatshark Forums (fatsharkgames.com)
@FatsharkJulia Bugs introduced by recent updates like this which work perfectly on previous version unlike other bugs that already bug from the beginning (one that never has been in state of working 100%)
If the bug was just introduced recently and it has been working perfectly before, it should be relatively easy to pinpoint the cause by reverting commits one by one.
But as time passes, and the bug left unattended. it becomes harder to trace the commits, Developers may lose track of when the bug first appeared. and as the code gotten old and forgotten it will also become harder to fix the bug.
In future, there could be new features implement on top of the bug code. that feature will be relying on the bug to work. the bug will become very hard to track, and if you’re able fix the bug, theres a high chance that the feature could break. leading to recode that feature. which also could lead to the bug will never get fix because its not worth it to recode that feature.
I dont know what your guys bug tracking process look like. but it will be useful for devs to know when the bug first reported and when was the last time that feature working if ever. its completely different thing. just want to make sure that bugs like this should not get pile since its only easy to fix when its new.
found a footage when it was working in previous update
and below is what happen currently just for easier comparison
it feels extremely weird.

@FatsharkStrawHat I have not seen this in Known Issues?
Knife is one of the weapons with outstanding animations
half the fun comes from the animations alone. It’s clear that a lot of time and effort went into perfecting them, and whoever worked on it truly nailed it! Hopefully, this bug gets resolved very soon.
