New glitch - Dropping primary weapon?

[DredlyLB]

I'm not sure if this has only happened to me but...

If you press and hold Y in (as in to select the type of grenade or change equipped equipment) you will randomly drop your primary weapon and not pick up another weapon and you will not be able to change weapons.

So basically you are left walking around without a primary weapon, cannot select a secondary weapon and cannot pickup any guns. My "status bar" still shows me as holding my MP7A1 but my actual screen shows no weapon and the area where the MP7A1 image would show is just blank.

That happened to a friend of mine while we were playing co-op campaign. He lost his SCAR-H and was stuck with his pistol, which only fired intermittently. In my view his model had the rifle strapped to his back, but he couldn't get to it.

Eventually he was killed and respawned, and everything came back.

yeah iv had that loads it sucks hopefully they will fix this n bring proximity chat back among other things pretty sharpish

your buddy was more lucky then I was... i can't even switch off my "non-existant" gun to my pistol... basically all you can do is find the nearest guy to shoot you and then respawn

Yeah the same has happened to me a few times. During the solo campaign as well. Also I've had Dr.Smythe randomly disapear (if I recall correctly he tried to run through a wall in the room with the outfitting box in it just after you rescue him first time around) during the first rescue encounter with him. Consequently forcing a restart too.

We *think* it happened when he tried to switch to pistol instead of reloading the rifle (which for me, never interrupts the reload animation, so it takes even longer). He ended up with his pistol, fired some shots, and couldn't switch back to his missing rifle. Then it went downhill when he said he couldn't always fire when he wanted to. Then he died. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

I haven't witnessed any of these luckily. As for countdown... man who cares? Let the boost. I routinely eat elites for breakfast. there are VERY VERY few people that are elites that haven't boosted... so just kill them, they still bleed red http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Don't know if what happened to me is the same thing, but it happened a while ago. I was playing TSurvival in Calypso and was on the "roof team." Anyway, I usually hold X at the beginning of the round to put on the suppressor on the gun. I think I was using the MP5 or FAMAS, but on one round I began running forward while holding X and I realized that I didn't have my gun out. I held down and tapped the Y button, but the inventory didn't come up and I couldn't quick-switch between weapons. I ran over to the skylight and tried to fastrope, but all I got was the "busy" message and couldn't do anything. I thought I'd go in through one of the doors and down the stairs, but apparently no one went through those and I couldn't open them again because of the "busy" message. The only thing I could do was throw a grenade. I ended up suiciding to get out of it. Everything was fine the next round.

Ahhh, I remember discovering that back in the single-player demo. I was incredibly easy in the demo, but they did make it much harder in the final version. Here is the original video of me rapelling with a FAMAS http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-47554134403635...bow+six+vegas+glitch (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4755413440363526070&q=rainbow+six+vegas+glitch)<div class="ev_tpc_signature">

This is not a new glitch and is a persistent bug!!!

Happens to me quite often. I will be in a firefight, run out of ammo or need to switch to another weapon and somehow I will hit Y and the right or left d-pad at the same time. At this point, it actually throws my primary weapon to the ground and I am unable to choose any weapons again. I cannot pick anything up, I cannot fight at all. So I just run around in the enemy's base and shout out their locations to my team.

It seems to have something to do with switching weapons extremely fast using Y and the d-pad. Because if you do it slowly, it never happens. It's almost like a double-tap on the d-pad during the Y-hold is what is causing it. I'll look at it some more and try and get a perfect replication of it.

So far, I've only experienced this bug in MP and my team finds it pretty hilarious seeing me run around with no weapons http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

yup thats it exactly. I haven't been able to replicate it yet on an "as demanded" basis but it happens often enough to be annoying
