apdjz Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Before the update using a scanner if you melee attacked but then left clicked it would go back to that item but now it defaults back to your weapon. Is this on purpose? It was frustrating enough to get kavat genes 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KynaTiona Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I'm experiencing this as well. That and the other scanner bug really makes scanning things a chore post-update 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seedrow Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Also experiencing this issue. I hope this is just a bug and will be reverted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvaril Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Heya Confirming a change to previous behaviour. Switching from Primary to Scanner, using Melee for Stealthy or non-Stealthy kills can result in switching back to the Primary weapon. Most likely to occur after non-Stealthy kills with Melee, but also sometimes after Stealthy kills as well. Consequently intermittent. Discovered and tested during Simaris Rep farming in Adaro on Sedna. To Recreate: Stealthy 'frame / Primary Weapon / Melee Weapon / Scanner Switch from primary to scanner. Scan down target Melee kill target Check whether right-click aim results in scan or shot Rinse / repeat as required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvaril Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Heya A quick search indicates the issue is not just scanning, but also Mining et al: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyDeath789 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 It seems even worse as a bug when you are running a primary only mission...switch to scanner and BAM you can't get your primary back. Even death does not fix it. Just have to hope your squad finishes mission for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bug makes simaris rep farming so unbelievably annoying, maybe they did it intentionally for that reason 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemajLian Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 hi, for me this problem is also really frustrating and annoying - I found this post today, but earlier made my own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, yes, this has caused me to start kicking my dog out of frustration. Poor thing, she's a good dog too. She just doesn't understand how frustrating this bug is for the true disciples of Simaris. For example, as I'm doing the daily scans, I like to be really quiet, and get stealth scans of every enemy along the way. Those are some juicy points. So I'll scan, bleed em quietly with my melee, and then scan another. It makes a game out of work. Any poor fool can run roughshod through a map, make a capture, and then scan a target. But, to quietly stealth scan all the mobs and then stealth kill them --- well, that's just good wholesome violence everyone can enjoy. So i'm gladly looking forward to the day when this bug is fixed and I can resume my stealth scan sessions at the high operational efficiency Cephalon Simaris demands. We ALL know how Uncle Simaris (he told me to call him that), we all know how much he demands efficiency. 😉 (I think I've sufficiently rambled on enough to add another another post to this bug report in hopes it gets attention...)

Deridious Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Getting onboard with this... I do this with my other dailys and this bug makes it 300% more annoying. Also, this bug seems to be re-introduced on a regular basis after major updates... Can we get a permanent solution, or have it on patch team's radar for future updates? I keep hoping this will get fixed with every hotfix, but 7 hotfixes after the Jovian accord it is still overlooked/ignored.

Jezs Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Still not fixed. Additionally, if your secondary is equipped when you switch to the scanner, unequipping the scanner by selecting it again will switch you back to your primary instead of your secondary.

PrismaCat Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) can confirm this issue is still plaguing me, not being able to scan melee scan is absolutely infurating. trying to do reputation with simaris is so tedious now, a related issue i have is since these changes, if i have my secondary out ( i use a vaykor marelok as my main weapon) and i pick up a data mass/module, and put it in the objective or drop it, it always forces out my primary, which i do not want at ALL. having to constantly switch back to my pistol is annoying but having to re requip my scanner after EVERY melee attack (aka scan) is so dumb Simaris is going to get no love from me untill this is fixed, thats for sure Edited August 17, 2019 by PrismaCat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrismaCat Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 issue is still present and makes carrying datamasses very annoying :/ every time i bullet jump with the data mass it drops it because it tries to switch weapons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
