Glaive and one hand pistol not deflecting shots

[silentcrypts]

My glaive won't deflect shots when I have the pistol in my other hand.

 

Is this a bug or is there 100% no advantage to using a one handed secondary with a one handed melee?

I dont beleive that you can block while using  one handed melee and one handed secondary

One handed secondaries and glaives are a unique combination. It's a special set up that allows you to shot things while also able to throw the glaive (via holding down the melee button) without being forced to quick melee (to equip it), heavy attack, and swap back to your gun. This allows you to shoot things and seamlessly go to throwing the glaive without interrupting either.

Not a bug 🙂 , let's you go between shooting and throwing easily. If you're not a fan of it then I'd recommend using an dual pistol setup or equip the glaive as melee (hold the swap weapon button) when you want to use it.

EDIT: This is the only special setup relating to wielding guns and melee at the same time. There is no differentiating 1-hand/2-handed/dual weapons besides weapon classes (for instance you can pick up mission objectives while using a 2-handed great sword).
