Knell Reload Glitch

[(PSN)haphazardlynamed]

Knell is currently broken...

 

So the idea behind the gun is, the magazine has only 1 shot, and a 2sec reload

but if you manage to land a headshot with that single shot; your skill is rewarded with a brief infinite magazine buff (similar to void corruption) which turns it into an SMG

The idea is that it rewards skill, yet punishes failure (2 second reload)

 

New Glitch though; you get punished either way:

Even if I land a headshot and activate the Buff; the gun goes into the 2 sec reload animation before I can take advantage of the infinite magazine.

Note, that this is not how it used to work; last year Knell would allow continous fire Immediatly after the headshot; no delay.

 

This is with a Non-Harrow warframe. (Harrow gets a 2 round mag passive benefit)

I suspect the glitch relates to that magazine discrepancy interacting with reload cases....

 

Noted:

this bug is not consistent

Sometimes Knell behaves perfectly normally

Possible that the situation I saw may be related to client/host/lag/etc discrepancies?

Thanks for the heads up.
Big fan of the Knell.
Hope it feels better soon!
