same has been happening to me since the most recent mutators update/patch

This may be because your total GS is too low for the mutation you’re trying to play.

This is happening outside of dungeons.

It is still ongoing, musket only fires a kill shot if I have powder burn on, once fired it goes back to not hitting anything.

It has been a week since this problem came out, why is a fix not mentioned in the next patch?

Just had this problem in a war tonight. Normal shots weren’t hitting anything and weren’t even leaving a trail, powder burn shots worked fine. Eventually things starting working again, for no obvious reason.

Edit: Here’s a video showcasing the bug. Didn’t record the moment it broke, but I did record the moment I could shoot again, and it was after a weapon swap. I don’t know if this is always the case. Blanks Bug - YouTube
