Posting this to show that Crossbow is 100% broken and not working correctly. After canceling a reload, the weapon can either take forever to fire again, or just lock up completely. In this clip I'm HOLDING the fire button after EVERY roll, or sometimes spamming it. This needs to be addressed.

It’s on the high priority things to get fixed
My first playthrough I didn’t know shit about the game and just ran a one button fragmentation round shotgun this was the bane of my existence
Drives me insaneee
If you can get a second crossbow, set one skill to set 2 only, and check your binds. Should have a new "shoot" button, a second one. Put that on your bar. Undo 'set one skill to set 2 only'
Now you can do fire 1,load frag. Fire 2nd, load freeze. Alternate fire.
Or specifically for the bug, when it's jammed the other bow will always fire, so you can load two of the same and only use it to solve bug issues
This is why i abandoned crossbows before even getting to first town. Doesn't feel good at all.
Endgame kinda gives the enemy more of the ability to kill you,
This was driving me nuts so I just went into a heavy stun/phys setup with Frag rounds and auto reload, can't die to bugged reload if you never have to!
I knew I wasn’t crazy. Sometimes I also shoot two shots insanely fast back to back instead of at the regular rate. Wild how buggy and inconsistent crossbows are and bows are just better in every way.
Lol i thought there was a hidden mechanic % chance to instant reload and %chance for weapon jam all this time
What do you want reddit to do about it. It's common knowledge at this point that reddit is not the place to post bug reports
I have Corsair mouse / keyboard driver, I macro the mouse button to press reload right after I shoot for now until it's fixed.
I hear there’s rumors of an announcement later this year. Maybe they will talk about a patch coming next year that addresses this
