Well, it's pretty frustrating when you have your character pretty well geared and you get killed because you pull out your gun, raise it, and pull the trigger... and absolutely nothing happens.
Walking around looting and shooting zombies periodically for fun, so I know my Viaga is working. Full mag for it. Condition is "worn." I find some .357 rounds and go to pick them up, character does the motion, but the bullets stay where they are... xfer them to my hands and then into my pack with no problem. Think, 'hmmm.. that was weird.' That was right about when I heard the footsteps. I don't see a lot of people on the server I play on, so this is pretty exciting for me. I can see he's geared, but he's coming around the corner and I know he's going to peak the gate. So I raise my Viaga shotty (that works great when I'm shooting zombies). He moves right into the gate where I'm aiming so I pull the trigger (semi automatic so I pull it a few times)... nothing at all. No click click click. Just me with my gun up looking like an idiot. Of course his gun works juuuust fine.
Any idea what could have happened? Is this just a typical game glitch? Lag? How can I prevent this from happening again?
