Set a man on fire, and he’ll be warm the rest of his life.
– Unknown Fire Elementalist
I am an Asura character. I have just joined the Order of Whispers, and cannot complete my very first episode “Lines of Communication”. Agent Batanga gives me an Amnesia Gas gun with one skill. When I press 1 (or click the icon for skill 1) it acts as a “Drop Bundle” command, effectively removing the gun instead of firing it. If I cannot use the gun, I cannot continue my Personal Story.
You could try a -repair of the client, in case of corrupted file(s). You could check, in the instance, that key-bindings weren’t somehow switched.
The only bug listed is with a party, and the story not advancing.
Good luck.
No luck.
I sat through a repair cycle and I’m still having the same thing happen.
Key bindings are unchanged. I haven’t opened that panel in at least half a year, but I checked anyway. (Besides, as I mentioned, mouse-clicking skill 1 causes “Drop Bundle” to execute too. Not just keypresses.)
if you’re having trouble with the gun, you can kill the guards normally. you do have to do it a specific way though.
first, kill the 2 guards on the stairs (this will save you from having to kill them later), then go for one of the two with the stars over them (the one that’s walking around is the easiest one). when you shoot/hit either of them they will both turn red and run up the stairs, but try to only kill one of them (if you ill both at this point, you’ll have to restart the instance). then talk to Agent Batanga (you might have to wait for the guard to run away up the stairs enough for her to lose interest. don’t worry, the guards run back down). drop the second gun she gives you, and kill the other guard. the instance will continue as normal from there.
hope that makes sense
it doesn’t fix the gun bug (which isn’t bugged in my game), but might help you continue.

Okay… I was able to get through. I had previously killed both Peacemaker guards to no effect, but killing one, then collecting a new Amnesia Rifle before killing the second guard did the trick. How on earth did you ever figure that out if the Amnesia Rifle never gave you any problems?
Thanks a bunch!
Note… clicking Skill 1 on the Amnesia Rifle does NOT actually perform a “Drop Bundle”. It does a “Destroy Bundle”. The Rifle disappears entirely. A normal Drop Bundle action leaves the Rifle on the ground for me to pick up again.

I like to experiment in the story instances sometimes there is more than one way to do things in them. I like to find those ways…. just in case.
glad you got past the story step!
