Darkness Charmer has Grand Opening & Scrap Grenade.
Pistol and Anemoi have Moaning Winds.
See the UI shows pistol selected yet Darkness Charmer is in my hands and firing…. and no scrap grenade.
I reload and Moaning Winds Triggers.
Inventory opened to show you the mods equipped.

Full description of Bug:
I have a bug I can repeatedly create where I switch from Weapon A to B and the mods from A are still active and mods from B are not working. My UI will show Weapon A equipped when Weapon B is in my hands (as example).
It is a game breaking bug that results in builds being unplayable and compounds the existing issues of ability timers not triggering etc and being pushed around by mobs when on a mod to high latency connection.
I know 100% this is occurring and repeatable in subsequent matches with different hosts. It was not a one off glitch. I do not run any 3rd party software with this game.
It’s been happening for a few weeks but I thought it was just a UI issue at first due to my build having same mods on Weapon A and B (see below for more info). I play a Techno mainly and rarely change weapons so I never had it arise on that class.
Example:
On my pyromancer, I have:
A. Double gun with Ultimate burning bullets + Fortress (sorry :P)
B. Deathshield (DS) with Moaning Winds + Fortress (also sorry but not really :P)
C. Pistol with Moaning Winds and another mod that procs on reload.
I am running around with the appearance of expertise…. using my anomoly abilities and shooting mobs to ignite them. My DS is empty as is my pistol.
I occasionally switch to DS which procs MW and then to pistol to do same.
I notice my UI shows I have my pistol in hand but i am using my double gun.
The Double gun is not igniting any mobs…. and when I reload it procs MW. This keeps happening for a few minutes even if I change weapons until eventually it self corrects and Im igniting mobs. A minute or 2 later… it’s proccing MW again.
DETAILS:
1. MP game where I am not host and connection is fairly laggy (all the time for me in Australia so unsure if this is essential).
2. Switching weapons back and forward I will start to note that the UI is showing the wrong weapon vs what is in my characters hands and shooting.
This can be pistol, weapon A or B.
3. The mods from the previous weapon equipped are active and none of the current weapon in my hands are working.
Additional factors I think may be involved but have semi-ruled out.
1. switching to a weapon that is empty to have it begin auto-reload to trigger a mod (eg moaning winds).
2. switching weapons rapidly – eg Weapon A is my main and I rapidly switch to B then pistol then back to A.
3. high latency connection. It appears the worse the connection the more this issue presents.
