Can't draw weapons?

[SidTheUndying]

Had this issue often. Rather than what I knew I had equipped the UI shows me "knife" but I have no weapon usage, no quickslot, nada. Either reloading or doing something /going somewhere that disallows weapon use and leaving that situation seems to fix it.

As others said, safe zones work. Didn't know about cutscenes. Ripper worked and interacting with vehicle seems to as well. Same issues with charge jump, stops working but these reset it.

I'm on ps4 so this sounds multi-platform.

Just got this bug from I fought the law quest, and now i´m stuck unable to defend myself. Been trying to reload and start the mission over, but still the same.

Also, the bug also blocks me from climbing on anything. No option to jump and climb up on anything at all...can only reach what i can normally jump up on.

Anyone else experiencing a bug where you cannot use your items or draw weapons? I've gone back multiple save points to times where I could use weapons and the bug affects any I select. Verified game file integrity, all good.. Not sure what to do

I've had the same issue many many times. Even in the shooting contest mission where you go to four different stations; I had to load the game in every single station, because I wasn't allowed to draw my weapon after taking the alcohol shot. four stations, four Load Game.
And of course, the occasional "jump into action in 'passive mode' and try to defeat the enemy by dodging, jumping and taking cover" moments.

SOS!!!
Tricky situation here:
I cannot draw my weapon after leaving Lizzie' s Bar in Act 2.
Didn't know how to fix it so I carried on another quest ——
Shoot to Thrill
Now I' m in the middle of the shooting range, which is a completely enclosed space, I can’ t move an inch, without my weapon I can not procceed either.

You might say: "Hey, It' s a RPG, S/L out!"
NO, because I started a new game and all my auto checkpoints in the first archieve are gone, I only have this one single checkpoint left! Plus, I' ve played for over 20 hours.

You may laugh now.

So I write this mainly to ask CDPR stuff: After you fix this bug, do players have to do something in the open world to restore back to normal or even they are in the middle of quests it can still be fixed after the game restarted?

As I said this is really important to me, I love my V as a Street boy and it will be such a painful experience if I have to give it up.

I' m not expecting any special attention. It happens in RPG, what we call “坏档” in Chinese, meaning your gaming archive is broken to hell and there is nothing you can do to fix it. I just don' t want this to happen to me.
Thanks.

Don' t know if it' s because of Hotfix 1.0.6. I' m actually able to get through Shot to Thrill by pressing left trigger and Y at my shooting spot, still can' t draw weapon but the match started. After the time went out I lost and the door opened. The weapon issue was also solved after the quest.

So now I'm good and hope what I've been through helps someone.

I did my best.

 

[Ronya_Ger]

Got the same issue. Game worked fine five days ago (before hotfix 1.0.5 and 1.0.6), started again today and can't draw any weapons. Neither my mantis blades nor any other equipped weapon. Weapon wheel doesn't work either.

 

[Lantea]

Got the bug as well; you fix it with cut scene, or go to the boxing ring near your apartment, that fixed it as well.

 

[eg06092016]

Same here could not draw weapons. Went to an earlier hard save and it seemed to work. Someone mentioned that it has to do with getting into vehicles.

 

[bburnett]

Same here V will not draw weapon after taking shot I’ve reloaded countless times too run into the exact same problem I’ve since given up on this quest as it’s completely broken.

I've also happened upon this bug (on PC), and I've gotten it twice. I have no idea what resolved it the first time. But the second time I fixed it by entering a cutscene.

What basically happens:​

- Not a single weapon, or fists, will 'draw' using any method available to do so
- V cannot vault over obstacles
- V will not grab ledges close enough to jump to
- Cannot double jump with the corresponding implant equipped
- V can still sprint, do normal jumps, call or select a vehicle, call someone, talk to npcs, interact (like looting, opening doors, getting in a vehicle, etc.)

What did not fix it (for me):​

- Entering and exiting a vehicle
- Opening equipment, unequipping all gear, exiting that menu, then reequipping all gear
- Fast traveling
- Entering a 'safe' area and leaving
- Saving the game, then reloading that save
- Loading an earlier save (V was still bugged in earlier saves for me)
- Exiting to the main menu
- Restarting the game

What did fix it (for me):​

- Hiring a joytoy and walking away to use the restroom while V had fun

After reading someone else's post, I think it happened to me both times after leaving or walking away from an npc in the middle of them saying a line, but I cannot confirm this for certain. First time was during the fight quest where you can win the gold car. Second time was after I had visited the Aldecaldo mobile camp.

 

[Nyarlathotep333]

Yup, I just had this issue last night as well after rescuing Saul. Tried the JoyToy cutscene today which fixed it. Hopefully the devs have this one on their list though as it's kind of a pain in the butt when you're all the way out in the Badlands to have to detour through Japan Town for a fix.

Game is a complete mess. I've got the same bug, and it's infuriating. I should have refunded.

 

[Sam_O_Neill33]

I've had it happen multiple times, always fixed it by pressing LT (aim) then holding down y (weapon wheel).

Similarly, had it where couldn't run, for no reason, not carrying too much. Fixed that by crouching then press run. That happens at least 3/4 times a day.

 

[dreambled]

I've gotten this bug several times during my first playthrough, including during the end boss fight (that was a big yikes, ended up kiting, screaming, and throwing grenades). It seems to eventually fix itself by redrawing my weapons, the time it takes for it to get to that point takes way too long ... and obviously, shouldn't be happening in the first place.

 

[Lexandro_Albion]

I have had this several times, but in my case it is always caused by driving. When exiting a car the game "locks" partially in a small zoom, likely due to overlap from braking before exiting the car and crappy trigger deadzones. Pressing the trigger a few times makes it un-zoom and let me draw weapons again.
