Guild Wars 2

So doing the karka hunt in LA, Engi loses the special rifle as soon as you go underwater and you never get it back. it goes back to your regular weapon when you resurface.

Even tried unequipping all weapons both underwater and normal and it still happens, making this hunt impossible to complete

Ditto. Having to switch to another class is a BS answer to it.

I ran into this last night. Is Arenanet even addressing this? I don’t play alts, and my 80 engy is all I have.

Same here. It swaps to my underwater skills then returns with my regular rifle skills.

This is the same thing that happens on a heart in Sparkfly when you try to take the mine out of the water.

There is something up with engie getting a bundle and then leaving or entering water. I’d think this bug is related to that and it would be nice to get that fixed.

i’ll try tonight with all my kits (walking and swimming) unslotted, if it’s not patched by then

We had a bug on this when it was all specs, looks like Engineer is special today.

I’ll get it looked at.

Lauren, if it helps, this is not a new bug with the engineer. If you try to carry the sword in the Flame Temple Tombs mini dungeon (Diessa) into the water on an engineer, you lose it. I remember this happening as far back as a year ago. We reported at the time, but realize this was (at that time) a very obscure bug.

Surely it has something to do with swapping from kits entering water – to ensure engis dont take kits underwater that dont belong there.

Also…the gun stops working. Very inconvenient when you manage to survive (after for times of trying) to get through Sharkmaw…and have the gun fail at the last hatchling (you can target it…but the gun wont shoot). I guess I’ll just keep destroying the dragonite.I can’t take it any more.

From /u/ScaretacticFhang on Reddit:

the “bug” where you drop the gun bundle to shoot the karka happens because you have NOT THE SAME SKILLS underwater as you have on ground. Swap your skills to be the same on both ground and under water and you wont drop the bundle anymore

Tested and confirmed to work. Even with Kits equipped.

It doesn’t work for me. Everytime I return to the surface, I lose the rifle.

Yup still happening. Will maybe switch to another toon for this.

Yeah, I had to. And know the Karka number 45 is unkillable because the riffle doesn’t shoot. ANd the two times I managed to enter Sharkmaw, it malfunctionned. Seriously, Anet. Stop with the underwater or even slightly in the water content. It is always buggy and badly implemented…

And don’t put things to hunt in a godammned JP. Put them in really difficult places to reach on the map, but not in a JP. I hate those. If I could remove all of them from the game, I would do it, especially Sharkmaw, with its 99% chance of death at the entrance.
