Crossbow Weapon Swap Bugged UNPLAYABLE

EDIT2* THIS BUG WAS REPORTED NEARLY A YEAR AGO BY SOMEONE ELSE AND HAS NOT BEEN ANSWERED.

So if you want to lock a weapon to both slots, and the weapon itself gives you the stats to be able to wear it, you will not be able to. Not sure if this is intended, but I am just adding for the sake. This is not the focus.

Using crossbow for weapon swap.

I have tried both with locked to single weapon and with two separate crossbows.

I assigned crossbow bolts from weapon set 1 to left click.

I assigned "" from weapon set 2 to right click.

I alternate clicking and it works magnificiently until I need to reload.

Once I run out of bullets it automatically will reload only the bolts that I am using when I fire the last bullet of whichever is the last to run out.

So for example, 2 bolts in left click peramfrost; 2 bolts in the right click for frgmentation rounds with the second weapon set.

I left click, then right click, back and forth until where the number of bullets gets down to 0 for both weapon sets. Lets say I fired permafrost first, then I would run out of that ammunition type while alternating fire as I swapped to fragmentation rounds to then fire that last bullet there for 0 in both weapon sets.

The game would then automatically reload Fragmentation rounds and I would be 0 permafrost, 2 Fragmentation rounds. After that in order to swap back to permafrost bolts I need to MANUALLY reload them by clicking reload and if I try to fire with 0 bolts in weapon set 1, it simply WONT switch weapons at all.

TLDR When I click for a weapon set for crossbow once I run out of bullets, the game does not automatically reload like it does when you are firing with only one weapon set.


EDIT* If you spam click when one type is reloading, it will reload the other type before firing, so perhaps has something to do with timing. Reloading at 0 bullets should perhaps be a priority action or something, tbh.

Happening to me as well, probably taking a break until this is fixed.

I'm having a similar problem with weapon swap using a wand. When I cast flame wall while I'm out of ammo, while it's set to a different weapon set, it does not automatically reload any type of ammunition on my crossbow. In order to reload I have to manually click on an ammunition type to reload, which is very inconvenient. I'm currently playing on PS5 if that matters.

Yeah this exactly, when using crossbow and weapon swap you have to manually reload if you swap when you run out of bolts and it will not let you swap back using the normal firing skill, which USUALLY reloads automatically at 0.

Are they even aware of this bug? I specced my tree to two weapon set one with ballistas/totem nodes for mortar and the other one for explosive shots. Every time I put down totems I can't instantly shoot with explosive shot because the weapon does not swap back. It stays on the weapon set 2 which is the totem ones. Also reload is bugged too with this. Manually swapping weapon back with X fixes it but it is really tiring. And it only fixes it for that one senario. Once you put down totems again jams and you have to press X to swap back again and again.

Also just came across this, have a 2nd crossbow equipped for grenades. if my left click is out of ammo. I cant do anything until i manually switch back to the skill, then shoot. which wastes a lot of time. :(

So i set up my passive tree with two different weapon sets red and green . I got my skills set to the specific set i want and i locked my crossbow into both weapon sets by right clicking the I icon above my crossbow and everything was working amazing till it bugged out on map boss in grimhaven. Now it wont let me lock my crossbow for both weapon sets. When i switch to my old crossbow then it will let me lock it into both weapon sets like it should. When i look at my explosive shot skill it shows that the second weapon slot is red cause it’s locked into weapon slot 1 like it should but the crossbow isnt locked into both slots.

When i put old crossbow on the game will let me lock it in both slots so i tried to remove old crossbow after locking it in both slots. I put my crossbow in that the game bugged after taking old crossbow out that was locked in both weapon slots and it shows a lock when i hover over the I icon above crossbow. When i right click the lock it just disappears and then its backed to being bugged again .

PLEASE HELP
