Unarmed during bounties

[Tree_Peel]

Everytime I start a bounty as Volt Prime, regardless of the faction it's for, regardless of the location, I start out 'unarmed', despite being fully decked out. It's not the end of the world because I can just equip the weapons but I always go in charging to the fight and I end up taking a few hits before realizing I'm not attacking back.

This has only started happening after the Whispers in the Wall update, and only for bounties (it happened during a profit-taker bounty as well). For normal missions this doesn't happen. As far as I can tell this only affects my Volt Prime, as my Titania Prime was unaffected by this issue.

I can confirm this.

A fix for now is either getting downed and resurrected or equipping your archgun.

I can also confirm this. For me it has been Protea and it happened to me both on Nintendo switch and on PC, but also even before I merged my accounts. I’ve encountered this issue on zariman, sanctum anatomica and Fortuna. On Fortuna it’s been when I tried to do exploiter bounty and on Sanctum it was when I did assassination. However, when I started the mission from navigation and not as a bounty, there was no issue. 

EDIT: Tried switching to Wisp and first bounty was okay, but when I repeated it I was unarmed again. Dying helped.

I'm still having this issue also. Now it's happening to Nezha Prime and Yareli. Tried it on the Zariman, same thing. It's always the bounties.

Confirm this as well.  Chroma Prime during Profit Taker Stage 4 bounty.  Has happened twice now.

Can confirm this on Albrecht bounties as Nekros Prime fully decked out. Has happened consistently every time I play.

Yeah, it’s been happening since whispers and has not been fixed yet. But most of the time switching weapons helps and if not that, then good ole archweapon equipping or dying
