Issue Type (Required):
Weapons
Issue Description (Required):
Before the patch unlike other force swords, Illisi special attack can be chained into itself without any delay. After the recent patch there is NO peril cost for special attacks activation if the action is done quickly enough. This doesn’t seem to be talent related as I can replicate this without any talents selected.
P.S.
Please redesign Obscurus and Deimos special attacks so they are actually useful and can be used without locking to a target. Maybe make them a quick “empowered” force single target stab, similar to how the power swords activation works.
Steps to Reproduce (Required):
1.Equip Illisi
2. Spam the special attack activation (weapon special action)
3. Observe no peril build up.
[PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):
Yes, but I haven’t tried disabling them
Reproduction Rate (Required):
Constant (100%)
Platform (Required):
PC - Steam

I second this report.
It was one of better ways to get peril up to 50-60% fast.

Yes, which is frankly my favourite bone to pick with Fatshark atm. WHY I cannot spam the special attack activation on Obscurus and Deimos just like on Illisi, and instead I have to rely on such degenerate tech like QQ weapon swapping to achieve the same outcome?
Pretty please could we make special attacks on Obscurus and Deimos actually useful empowered quick stabs which do NOT glue the player to the target?

It seems like it’s not actually activating after the first use either. It plays the animation but the timer on the warp buff doesn’t get reset so it’ll just dissipate. It’s very frustrating when you accidentally charge the sword too early and can’t get it recharged in time for the mutie turning the corner on you. The Thunder Hammer has the same problem right now

@JanZamoysky it seems it’s much bigger problem.
ALL ACTIVATION WEAPONS have this bug.
I’ve just noticed it - I’ve decided to leave the best for last (Vet contract grinding).
Can you imagine my surprise, when right in the thick of it (it being me jumping on 3 Maulers and a Crusher) after first 3 2 strike combo and reactivation I’ve just… slapped next mauler in the procession 2 times with embarrassing “ding, ding”…
It was awkward for everybody involved.

Oh, RIP 
I wonder what kind of typo or code change has done that.
