If you fire your crossbow then switch to melee weapon before having reloaded, and then switch back to the crossbow : it will reload as usual when switching to an empty ranged weapon, but the animation won’t play.
Same thing also happens to Repeater Pistol
The repeater pistol also doesn’t make reload sounds when reloading at 0 bullets remaining, whether or not the animation plays.
Edit: I actually can’t see any of my own third person reload animations anymore, on any character. Supposedly, others can still see my reload animation.
