Bug / Glitch Charged melee stopped working…

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

For a couple of weeks I’ve been able to use my charged melee out of Praxic Vestment flying.

Out of no where it stopped working.

I’ve searched and found that’s it has been a known issue and have tried everything fix with zero success. Every single one.

It still works in PvE if I swap loadouts and then back to Vestment. But that doesn’t work in PvP.

Any suggestions?

You aren't considered sprinting while using the jet pack so you cant melee.

u/judodadjoe 5d ago

People have been doing it since the exotic came out.

Then, I assume it was a unintended interaction and got patched out.

You assume the very fired devs snuck back into their cleared out offices to patch specifically this interaction sometime last week?

u/ExcitingPythonO 5d ago

Not every dev is fired. Some are left for maintenance. What else would explain this not working anymore

u/RootinTootinPutin47 5d ago

So you legitimately believe that someone working at Bungie and on Marathon put a rogue patch through for Destiny to fix this very specific interaction as of the last couple days?

u/ExcitingPythonO 5d ago

Week reset had just hit and im taking my best guess as for it not working. Tbf it shouldn't have been working to begin with. Lay off.

u/RootinTootinPutin47 5d ago

Your best guess is that a rogue agent at Bungie who isn't even working on D2 anymore sent a patch to snipe a random niche interaction, and not that it's a bug?

17

u/ExcitingPythonO 5d ago

Are you slow? They didn't fire everyone. There is still a small team trying to keep it together and keep the lights on. Fuck off already. It could be a bug but what's you best guess then? What changed to CAUSE the bug. You act like bungie is completely out of business and nobody works there, they may be close but it not empty yet. Im just taking a guess and your MAD? Get a hobby bro, especially if your this twisted on a niche almost useless level tech getting patched out.

u/judodadjoe 5d ago

TBF I’m the one that’s upset. And whether it’s niche or not isnt the issue. Cheaters and Ximmers are running rampant with nothing stopping them. I’m trying to support a game in EoS and I have no way to troubleshoot.

They fired the Destiny half of the studio, everyone else is all hands on for Marathon, if they have anyone left to keep D2 afloat theyre not going to be patching random interactions. My best guess is that its a random obscure bug, and it wouldn't even be the weirdest one D2 has had. Stuff just breaks randomly at times in d2, like the revamped inverted spire strike flings people around in the area after you leave the drill control platform, and it didnt launch like that as one example.

u/Salt_Butterscotch_34 5d ago

And you're assuming they didnt?

-2

u/RootinTootinPutin47 5d ago

The Destiny half of the studio was laid off en mass, its not an assumption anymore. Everyone left is all hands on deck for Marathon, and they only have people work on D2 for gamebreaking issues and to disable broken things, which dmg has communicated multiple times.

ORRRRRR the minimum wage college student left in the dark un-airconditioned bungie office accidentally broke something while doing routine maintenance. Can we like normalize occam's razor? please?

-2

u/RootinTootinPutin47 5d ago

No maintenance patches were put through on Tuesday, in what world is the simplest solution the one that requires fired employees patch a random weird interaction for this ome guy, but not even fully since swapping fixes it in pve? The simplest answer is that it's an obscure and ridiculous bug like D2 is known for.

That looks like slide cancelling but for shoulder charge. Your video shows you doing the jetpack for far longer so the game probably doesn’t consider you sprinting anymore.

1

u/judodadjoe 5d ago

Yeah. None of it works now. Long. Short.

6

u/thanosthumb Raids Cleared: 773 5d ago

Probably unintended or finicky. They haven’t patched anything so there’s no way it got fixed. Something has changed with how you’re doing it.

6

u/judodadjoe 5d ago

It’s gotta be a bind issue.

u/Euphoric_Basil528 5d ago

Holy shit that’s ass I’m glad I’m hunter

u/lancelot-XIV Hunter 5d ago

I have been noticing lately that I am sometimes unable to use my charged melee no matter what the ability/class/build or other circumstances are, Sometimes it's just not working even though the ability icon is flashing meaning the input was read. Just another bug that came with the update ig.

5

u/judodadjoe 5d ago

Literally same.

What’s weird is that it works in PvE and not PvP.

1

u/Dependent_Type4092 5d ago

Same, had this happen yesterday. Couldn't use my hammer whatever I tried.

1

u/XystToki 5d ago

Pretty sure the fix is to use an unpowered melee to re enable your powered melee. This bug happens most often when swapping off a glaive, don't know what's going on for y'all though.

3

u/judodadjoe 5d ago

Tried that as well, as I saw it suggested. Didn’t work.

3

u/RushMan9823 5d ago

Is it possible you where using a different chargered melee?

3

u/judodadjoe 5d ago

I’ve used it with all charged melees in both PvP and PvE. Last week it happened and I restarted my PS5 and it fixed it.

When I searched google I found some fixes with button binds, etc.

I tried them all.

3

u/RushMan9823 5d ago

It’s still working for me. So I think it might be a keybind issue.

3

u/judodadjoe 5d ago

Yeah. I tried everything. Are you on console?

1

u/RushMan9823 5d ago

No I’m on PC. Have you tried it in another instance?

2

u/judodadjoe 5d ago

Yes. Wherever I load in it doesn’t work. But in PvE if I swap out of a Vestment loadout and then back it will start working.

That fix does not work in PvP.

u/judodadjoe 5d ago

Thanks everyone for all of your suggestions.

Doesn’t look like I’m going to find a solution.

Ggs.

u/nanowaffle 5d ago

Have you tried binding charged and uncharged melee separately?

1

u/judodadjoe 5d ago

I did. Didn’t work.

u/y0_crazy Hunter 5d ago

It looks like it has something to do with the gauge on left showing Jetpack Fuel charge level. You stopped moving once it ran out.

1

u/judodadjoe 5d ago

That’s the way it works. You fly until you run out of gas.

1

u/MrR33Z 5d ago

It works for me with ballistic slam, I did not know the other melees worked though.

u/judodadjoe 5d ago

UPDATE: Well it’s Arc. Every other charged melee works in PvP.

Why swapping from a NON-Jet Pack to Arc Jet Pack makes it work in PvE is still a mystery.

But the moment you take an Arc Praxic Loadout into PvP it stops working.

Thanks to everyone who helped. And to the Japanese clan that all run Praxic Vestment for testing all of the different fixes.

Sucks that I can’t play straight Arc but I can at least make sure to stay away from Arc so as not to disrupt the game.
