Surge Force Staff can't be interrupted by switching to psyker hands

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Bugs
1

Issue Description:
When using the Surge Force Staff (Lightning Staff), switching from the staff to the Psyker’s hands (G key) during an attack animation is unusually slow. It makes the weapon feel very clunky as a result.

This appears to be a bug, as none of the other staffs do this. It doesn’t seem to be a design choice to make the animations uninterruptable either, as switching to weapon (pressing 1) is still instant.

This bug occurs for both the projectile attack and the lightning attack

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. As a Psyker, equip the Nomanus Mk VI Surge Force Staff
  2. Enter the Psykanium
  3. Have the staff out and fire a projectile (left mouse button) or lightning attack (hold right mouse button → tap left mouse button)
  4. During the attack animation, attempt to switch to hands (press G)
  5. This will fail to do anything until the animation ends

This does not occur with any other staffs i’ve tested, and switching to melee is instant and has no delay
