In my last game there was a period of about 20 seconds where I couldn't use powers or fire my weapon. I just had to sit in cover until it passed but it nearly got me killed. Anyone know the cause of this and know a way of preventing it?

 

On a different note, I see a lot of vanilla human adept builds using singularity as a primer and shockwave as a detonator. I tried this but I could almost never get shockwave to actually detonate. Either I was too far or shockwave completely missed an enemy right in front of me (always resulting in my death). I find singularity/warp much more effective because I can use it at range and it never misses. My question is how do I use a singularity/shockwave build more effectively?

Did you take 4b on shockwave?

Shield boost spamming Volus is the most common cause for guns and powers to jam. It can happen anytime you get shield boosted by those lil fellas. If there was no Volus in team I don't know the cause.

 

As for shockwave, its bugged (what powers aren't) in a way that only certain evos work depending on your platform. Someone more enlightened can probaly help you with that. But I have the same issue with shockwave, it never seems to hit and I just dont like it. You are better off with singularity + warp as you can use warp over covers and on different elevations. human adept specced out of shockwave doesn't even need a gun to be easy mode on gold (apart from getting cooldown close to 200%). Hope this helps at least a bit

If you're on PC shockwave evo 4b is bugged to the point where shockwave will do nothing. Take 4a and it will work.

As for the powers/guns not working..was there a Volus in the team perhaps? If you get shield boosted while reloading it will lock you up. Usually executing heavy melee unlocks you. (Fury is the only character that sometimes can't fix it and will stay prema locked. )

When it next happens to you, try using Heavy Melee.

It can also be a glitch which apparently is not too rare. Sometimes in matches, usually because of lag, the game makes you unable to fire your weapons or use powers. No reason why, it's just part of the weirdness of lag.

 

In the variation I tend to get (3 times over 290 games, or roughly a one in a hundred chance of the glitch happening) I also don't take any damage. It either passes or you are forced to wait until extraction.

I guess Radius on Shockwave is bugged on PC, so if you're on PC, don't use it.

 

Also, Shockwave has a target limit (it's either 2 or 3), so if you're hitting the limit of targets before the Shockwave reaches the Singularity, you won't get an explosion.  Always best to use the Singularity at an enemy in the front of a group so your Shockwave doesn't run its limit of targets, and so the other enemies coming at you will have to pass through the Singularity on the way.

Ah, yeah there was a volus. That was the cause. If (when) it happens again, I'll try heavy meleeing.

 

And yes, I took 4b on shockwave. I'll try 4a and see how it goes.

 

Thanks everyone

I've managed to lock myself up with the Fury on my host. Pretty sure I can do it again.

What I found is that mixing animations, doing stuff too fast can sometimes cause a glitch.
This is what is best not to do with a Fury - don't engage/detonate AF right out of a dodge or HM. Take at least half a second break in between these operations.
Don't ops pack until animations are completely over. Don't try to 'charge up' your H'cane - THIS is what will make you unable to fire and switch weapons. The clip will appear as if being emptied but no shots will come out of the barrel, and there will be no sound.
So if by mistake you think it's acolyte in your hand but really it's hurricane and you start to charge it and run at the same time - you're probably gonna lock yourself. Nothing helps, not even getting downed.

I'll keep that in mind. Fortunately, I don't have a Fury, Hurricane, or Acolyte, so I guess I'm safe for now

Do Geth turrets cause this as well when spec'd for healing?

I may be wrong, but I think every power capable of boosting a teammate's shields can cause it. The geth turret has caught me out once.

Or get kicked for being a wallflower :-)

Probably a shieldboost spammer. Or geth stunlock.

RNG Gods demand you buy packs to grant the ability to use powers.

[crashsuit]

I had it happen to me three times the other day, all with different characters/hosts.  Couldn't fire, couldn't power.  Light melee always fixed it, but each time I was comically slow to catch on to what had happened.  I think Geth Turrets triggered the bug all three times, but until yesterday I'd never experienced it.

Did you forget to pay you weekly protection fees to ea?

 

Anyway, try heavy melee and see if that helps.
