[Bug] Cannot attack after gathering (different fix from known issues)

  • What is your character name in New World: Parabolah
  • What server/world did you experience your issue on: Aukumea
  • Describe the issue you are experiencing: Occasionally when gathering, the gathering animation will changed from mining (possibly other gathering tradeskills as well) into the chest opening animation. After gathering finishes, you’re unable to attack.
  • Is this a bug? Yes
  • (if a bug) How did the issue affect your gameplay: Cannot attack after bug occurs while gathering.
  • (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: Yes
  • (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced: N/A
  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: 1. Gather items via mining. 2. If bug occurs, the mining animation will change roughly 2/3rds in to a chest opening animation. (The progress wheel stays visible but the mining animation/sound effects switch into the chest opening animation/sounds). 3. When gathering finishes, you’re unable to attack with either weapon.
  • When did this happen? Roughly 2AM Eastern 10/28/2022.

To fix, unequip and re-equip the gathering tool used for the node (mining pickaxe). This is not listed in the Workarounds for Known Issues thread.

Hey there! Can you take a short video of the issue you experiencing with attacking after gathering? If you can send the video or a YouTube link on this thread, it will help us look into this. I also sent a DM to you to gather more details.

Hi! This has been fixed in the recent update : New World Update 1.7.1 - News | New World - Open World MMO PC Game.

  • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the player to be unable to attack after Harvesting until they performed the same Gathering action or relogged.
