Bug: Aimed Throw for Hatchet not working

  • What is your character name in New World: Keychaindragon

  • What server/world did you experience your issue on: Frislandia

  • Describe the issue you are experiencing: When Aimed Throw on the Hatchet Weapon Mastery tree is selected my character does not enter the “aimed stance”. This means the hatchet is unable to be thrown unless using one of the throwing abilities. When Aimed Throw is selected blocking with the hatchet is unavailable. When Aimed Throw is not selected, blocking with the hatchet works as normal. I have tried respecing the weapon mastery tree and restarting the game.

  • Is this a bug or an exploit: bug

  • (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: Unable to use the the Aimed Throw ability or block when Aimed Throw is selected.

  • (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: no

  • (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:


    Weapon Mastery tree with Aimed Throw selected


Holding right mouse button (also the key that is bound to block in settings) while Aimed Throw is selected. Does not enter “aimed stance”

  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: Select Aimed Throw on the hatchet weapon tree.

Yup same for me it isn’t working, any answers?

I also have the same bug - had it in both beta’s too…and now in retail…cant throw an axe

If you have changed your default keybinds at all, check your ranged combat keybind options and make sure Aim is “RMB (HOLD)”. I had to restore my defaults to work out what the issue was.

This was my problem / fix, thanks

Same for me, thanks Shadowdragon for the fix. it was only “hold”, not rmt hold

Thank you, also work for me

Well, I have this bug & it isn’t becaise I have changed default ranged attack settings.

I have RMB (HOLD) as aim, which brings the reticule up on the HUD/screen and holding RMB then clicking LMB does not throw an axe, I do see Stamina take a drop when I click LMB but nothing else is happening at all.

Relogging does not fix this issue for me.

This is currently happening to me too.
I can use RMB, it pulls up the HUD like I am going to throw, the throw animation will occur but the hatchet does not leave my hand, stamina is drained, and any enemy in the recticle is not harmed.

Seems it was fixed after going back to retry using hatchet

No fixed i have this bug, I can use RMB, it pulls up the HUD like I am going to throw, the throw animation
