Weapon Skills Not Activating?
If your character is not facing them, he cannot shoot them. Been that way for some time now.
But sometimes I am facing them. One time I was fighting a pirate who was in front of me but when I hit the skill it did not activate and went on the 3 sec cool down.
pistols are very bugy (still).
what you described will often happen when you strafe and shot.
if you say it happened when you face your enemy it might be something new i never had it happen for me when using static shot tho.
it bugs out when someone moves behind you at the same time you fire it.
also i seen some pathing bugs happen.
it occurs with blowtorch you can be in someones face and still miss it.
also poison dart volley will miss one or two of its shots if your 600 or more away from your target but they dont consider it a bug.
explosive shot also miss randomly now and then for no reason.
Oddly enough, if my character stands with its back to a mob and I activate pistol skills, my character turns around and hits it.
Oh this game…

Skills that require you to be facing your target sometimes bug out when you are strafing. They will turn you around if your character is stopped, though. Go figure.
