EDIT 2018: I made this post in July 2016 and here we are in 2018 and playing D2 and this still happens. I notice it’s bad with AR. I’ve gotten a few likes and responses in the past month to this old post. Thought I should edit it and bump it back up. The stuff below was Last edited in 2016 for D1. So in IB I have had this nasty event occur multiple times when I am firing my weapon and suddenly I cannot shoot though I'm pulling the trigger. (This is NOT a reload issue. I will fire a few rounds then stop and then try to fire with more than 50% of rounds in magazine BUT nothing happens.) This has happened with primary, secondary and heavy weapons. However, I can still move, melee and throw grenades and more importantly my enemy can shoot me dead while my weapon is "jammed" or something. Anyone had this happen? And don't tell me it's lag as I and my whole team is green bar and every thing else "works" to include the enemy players. [b][u] From the posts below here is a quick summary: it's an issue with every type of weapon (primary, secondary and MG), it's not controller (happened on my old 14 month controller and my 6 week old elite), its not the reload cancel as people are middle of firing a full magazine then stop halfway then refire but nothing happens, it's not just weapons as SUPERS will also not "fire" like storm callers, and it's not SPRINT CANCEL. [/u][/b] Edit: 1) [b]It's not a controller as I have swapped my elite for a regular controller and it still will happen. Also no issues playing ANY other game with the triggers so it's not controllers. [/b] 2) Quite a few people have experienced this on primary weapons (any type so not just AR), secondary weapons (side arms and shotguns) and Machine gun. 3) Might be a lag issue but I can still do things like move, jump and melee but often I'm dead 3-5 seconds after it starts as I'm in a fight and I'm too far to melee but too close to run. 4) Some say sprint or ADS might be triggering it. 5) It hasn't happened in PVE for me and no one posting has reported this occurring in PVE. Just thought I should mention it. 6) To those this hasn't happened you have been lucky. 7) Yes it may still be "operator error" and "dick stuck in trigger well" lol but it would be nice to know why it happens if not fixed. 8) Glowii mentioned that storm caller super will also not work and he is sitting unable to shoot lightning. (That has got to be he worst as its your super not a shotgun or primary or MG failing to fire) 9) Some think it's the damage referee. However it has occurred in two previous IB before it was supposed to roll out though Bungie may have snuck it in without saying so. Also, I didn't see lag in other ways like people blinking or any delay in other of my motions, just shooting. Finally why would the damage referee work by not allowing you to shoot, wouldn't it just not register hits? 10) Took the advice of the smarter folks and posted link and text to #help. If they respond I'll post the link or their reply. A lot of us felt we were crazier than usual when this issue occurred. Glad to see I'm not crazy or I'm part of a mass psychosis! Lol. 11) As of July 2016 IB it will still happen. Didn't happen last 3 IB for me. However people on my fire team reported they could fire as well during different matches.

    Still happening in 2022. Only happens in trials, competitive and sometimes in the quick play playlist with certain players. Gun will lock up and not fire, only when you have someone lined up for a shot, and seems like it happens more often when that player isn't looking directly at you. Ie. you come around a corner and surprise someone with a head shot from beside/behind, but the gun seemingly locks until they turn to focus on you and begin firing themselves. It's for sure some kind of hack, and it ruined the game. Do something bungus

  • This is a manafistation of Destiny's peer to peer system. During data intensive situations destiny has trouble translating button inputs in real time. Hence the sudden ads drop before your head is blown off. Bungie is aware of this issue but will not comment on it as it points out problems with their cheaper platform choice, this issue more than likely is not going away.

      • It happens to me all the time, even when using supers. I don't think it's specific to a class or weapon because it's happen on all three characters and numerous weapons. I hope it gets fixed as well, really annoying and frustrating. I thought it was my controller at first, so I bought a new one...same issue. It really sucks when you're a solo player and trying to complete an event (e.g. Nightfall) and your weapons stops firing and you die. Ugh. Lol.

      • It has happened since day 1. Happened a couple of times in IB last night. Both times, there was a player magically skating and disappearing on one of the teams. Its either cheating or a really bad bug. It happens with the hand cannon and pulse rifle - in the middle of shooting, the gun pulls up and back and stays there. Like something is locking the gun in place. Certain death. Thanks for this post. The problem is real.

      • YES!!! This just started happening to me a lot in the past 2 weeks. It is especially bad after running. Before, aiming would stop my run and allow me to aim and shoot. Now when I run then aim, I can't shoot at all. It wasn't an issue before. It's so annoying in crucible. Do you know if this is a feature change in the game or a bug?

      • Yes, I’ve noticed on primary and energy ARs. Seems to vary from match to match tho. Can have a bad match where it happens several (10+) times, then have 2-3 w/ no issue.

      • March 2018 and I have just had this start happening all of a sudden after playing D1 and D2 all this time and never having had this before - so I read some of the posts out there on this and do a little testing around (XB1 Controller) and came to the same results as a lot of other people which was that it was still happening and that it is the sprinting mode that stops the ADS + Firing - which I have found in my case to be true HOWEVER technically I am not initiating sprint mode, the controller is putting you in sprint mode. Let me explain - middle of an intense firefight PvP you are naturally more likely to be more intense in your digit's pressure (talking thumbs here) as you know it is against other people and not game enemies. That extra thumb pressure (talking L3) means that the CONTROLLER IS CLICKING ITSELF briefly into sprint mode and only needs that one split-second click to do so and stop you from firing. The only reason why you don't realise it happened is the controller vibration masks the 'click' feeling you would normally notice when doing it yourself to meaningfully sprint. So I disabled the vibration and voila no more PvP firing problems I am not saying this is the cure for everyone but I certainly hope it is as I know from personal experience how frustrating this is. I hope this helped.

        • Honestly, I don't think Destiny handles 6-8 players clustered together very well. My guns lock when I am surrounded, OR when facing people with SMGs. And I have an ultra-reliable Gigabit up/down simultaneously. I dug into the router settings and found that my router clamps down hard on suspected DDOS at a very low threshold of traffic by default. I bumped that threshold up to a very large number of packets per second from the same source and the problem is less frequent. BUT this is not as effective during Iron Banner or Trials. Read into that what you may.

        • Exact same thing is happening to me..AR just stops firing. So frustrating. I wonder if it has something to do with connectivity (im on a good connection and green but am using wifi and start thinking maybe its some lost packets ir something...)

            • I've had it happen quite a few times this week with Monte Carlo. For me it seems to happen when I'm switching to and from ADS multiple times during a gun fight. Almost feels like a type of lag, like the console can't keep up.

                        • You are clicking the run on the left stick. That's all it is. You get in a firefight and tense up click run stop shooting and die. Long ass post for such a simple explanation.
