Weapon Specialist + Reaper's Stance

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Bugs
1

Issue Type (Required):

Animation

Issue Description (Required):

When the perk “Always prepared” is active and generate an ammo on an empty gun, like the double barrel shotgun, and you activate reaper’s stance, the gun automatically reload, even with one or more ammo on the magazine that were reloaded by killing something in melee.
This make reaper’s stance bad at reaction shot and negating the ‘instant draw’ feature of the ability, and force a standard reload when the weapon is drawn by the vet activating the ability.

With other weapon’s, like the plasma gun and Boltgun, it make you unable to shoot before reloading also, and since the reload time is pretty long, it make you pretty vulnerable, and force you to switch weapon again on mele and switch again on your ranged weapon, losing the bonus of your keystone (Bonus to crit chance on next ranged attack) and more importantly, make you lose time.

Technically, It’s probably not an animation problem, but the reloading animation being automatically triggered when you draw the weapon is (maybe) what provoke this bug, since I highly suspect that the bonus of “Always Prepared” is triggered after switching weapon, and isn’t with a higher priority compared to the action of 'reloading automatically after drawing an empty gun".

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

  1. Play with Keystone Weapon Specialist and the ability Reaper’s Stance on the Vet
  2. Take the “Always prepared” perk on the Keystone
  3. ingame, after your weapon has been emptied, restore 1 ammo or more on the magazine via the perk always prepared after a melee kill .
  4. Use Reaper’s stance to instantly draw your ranged weapon.
  5. The character automatically reload the weapon, making it impossible to shot directly after using reaper’s stance, even though one ammo was restored by “Always prepared”.

I’m pretty sure this is also the case with other weapons, and this processus is somekind of dysfunctionnality between Reapêr’s Stance and Always prepared, since I’ve also seen that with the plasma gun.

This is definetely the case with every gun.
