Please fix the round based reload characters interaction with QSR and Crushing Fists

Bug Reports
1

It has been in the game for SO LONG. It’s getting ridiculous.

Bug: Empty clip, start reload, trigger Crushing Fists or QSR, reload will now complete the entire circle without reloading any rounds and then will start adding rounds 1 by 1 once the circle is completed. No rounds are added from QSR or Crushing Fists.

This bug has been documented MULTIPLE TIMES:

Post in thread ‘Abrams Quicksilver Bullets/Mercurial Magnum doesn’t reload if currently reloading’

+1 here :(

abrams + quicksilver reload has the following interactions:

on manual reload: gain zero bullets!

on end-of-clip-automatic-reload: gain zero bullets, no longer reload bullets normally until red circle completes, THEN loads bullets one by one

there is no problem if you trigger quicksilver before either reload occurs, but i am sure this is unintended undefined behavior

Thread ‘Abrams gun doesnt work with quicksilver if its empty’

its probably something with how his reload is individual that breaks quicksilver/mercurial but it really does mess things up when you have to make sure you have at least one round in the chamber before popping the ability with quicksilver on it so it REALLY should be adressed and fixed cause its kinda fucky.

Thread ‘Abrams does not procc Quicksilver Reload if in the process of reloading’

Doesn’t work on 1 or 2
QSR goes on cooldown without reloading
but it does give the other benefits (spirit damage on bullet, fire rate)

Thread ‘Abrams QSR’

If you proc quicksilver reload on abrams while reloading, it forces you to continue a full reload cycle without gaining any ammo, and then a second one to refill however many empty shells you had remaining. If you do it with 0 ammo left, that means you have to do an entire reload cycle on him twice, and you can’t shoot at all during the first one.

Thread ‘Abrams reload bug when using Crushing Fist.’

This is kind of a gamebreaking bug. Your reload takes triple the amount of time it normally would and doesn’t let you reload or shoot before it finishes the initial red reloading UI circle. Then it process to reload the normal way like Abrams already does and allows you to shoot afterwards. If you shoot and melee again, you restart the cycle.

This bug occurs very consistently if you play on low ammo or with Express Shot (more ammo usage). It is like a disarm for 4 seconds. 1768000632658.png

Thread ‘Abrams not able to reload’

If Abrams has 0 bullets and uses crushing fists (which is supposed to reload 4 bullets), the reload bugs out, for one reload cycle, which then he starts to reload afterwards.

Thread ‘Crushing Fists is inconsistent’

Crushing fist seems to only give back ammo when there is already ammo in the gun. If you are at 0, it just starts a regular reload. Crushing fists only will then give you ammo if you shoot again and end up with ammo in the gun.

Thread ‘Abrams Crushing Fists Reload Bug’

Abrams reload is bugged and takes around double the time when he expends ammo, reloads and melees someone with Crushing Fists.

Thread ‘Using Quicksilver Reload on Abrams is broken and effectively disarms Abrams for multiple seconds.’

If you use Quicksilver Reload right after Abrams starts reloading normally, it will break the reload completely and take twice as long to reload. It basically disarms Abrams for a long time.

Thread ‘Abrams + Crushing Fists: Hitting a target with Light/Heavy Melee during per-round reload blocks ammo from incrementing (UI bar advances; ammo stays 0)’

With Crushing Fists equipped, Abrams’ per-round reload breaks if a Light/Heavy Melee hit connects during reload. The reload UI/bar advances, but no ammo is added—at 0 ammo you stay at 0 and can’t fire until the bar ends. If the melee misses (air swing), reload works normally.

Thread ‘Abrams Ammo glitch (Crushing Fists issue?)’

There is a bug with Abram’s ammo counter where if you empty all ammo from the weapon and try to load more ammo it will fail so far I only see this with Crushing Fists. The ammo for the gun will bug out, and instead of loading bullets one at a time during the reload, Abrams will instead not load anything until the circle completes a full cycle and then he will individually reload all ammo. You also can’t fire during this entire process so you are forced to wait for Abrams to load all 9 shells before being able to shoot again.

To replicate the bug:
First empty all ammo to 0
Then…

Thread ‘Quicksilver Reload/Mercurial Magnum doesn’t work on Abrams gun’

Really frustrating bug that has existed for a very long time now. Quicksilver Reload is an item that is supposed to fully reload your guns ammo when activating an imbued ability, which for Abrams DOES work, ONLY if he activates an ability while not in the middle of his reloading animation. So if Abrams wants to use this item, he needs to ensure that he only uses his ability while he’s not reloading, which is obviously a bug and extremely frustrating.

Please fix this as soon as possible, thanks.

Thread ‘Abrams reload animation stuck when using active reload early into the animation’

Triggering active reload as Abrams will cause the animation to get stuck if Active Reload was triggered early into the reload animation (which happens if Abrams’ clip is mostly full)

Thread ‘Abrams Reload Bug’

There is a bug that has been in the game for months and months where abrams will have a ghost reload and then reload after, the problem is you cannot shoot and you have to wait the entire extra reload duration before you can even start the real reload, ATP I have missed many many kills just because I couldn’t reload even one round without waiting for abrams to fill his entire gun with nothing first.
