    Weapons locked and unusable

    Hello -

    I just finished the "Uncaged" mission, and now my save is broken. No weapons aside from the two handed club are usable. In the weapon wheel the bow and spear show "locked", and the 1-handed club is not selectable.

    Upon completion of the mission, the game stopped, then loaded and teleported me to a barren white landscape, glitched out completely for a moment (white screen with graphical errors, only hands and weapon shown), then crashed and loaded again, then teleported me to the nearest campfire. This is when I noticed no other weapons were usable.

    Things I've tried:
    - Exiting and reloading
    - Turning off PS4 and reloading
    - Deleting game files and reinstalling without patch
    - Deleting game files and reinstalling, installing 1.01 patch
    - Activating a skill
    - Activating a quest
    - Fast-traveling
    - Crafting
    - Killing an enemy and trying to pick up their weapon

    To no avail. No other weapons selectable, all have the locked symbol. I haven't noticed any other issues aside from this. And of course now my save has been overwritten multiple times with no chance of going back after 10+ hours of gameplay. Incredibly frustrated at the moment.

    This occurred on the PS4 with the 1.01 patch installed. I have the save files available if there is a place I can upload them for examination.

    *Update*

    Just confirmed through GameFAQs that someone is having the same issue on the Xbox One. Acknowledgement of the problem and a suggested workaround would be great, please.

    Hello there!
    I am having the exact same issue! Put in so many hrs in the game only to have my bow, spear, and club locked away and unusable right after the uncaged mission.

    Interesting... well that makes at least 3 of us that had the same issue directly after "Uncaged", so I'd say that's a pretty clear indicator.

    Hope this gets fixed soon. Wouldn't want to finish the game with just a two handed club...

    the spear is "locked" and cannot be use
    forced to choose an earlier save and replay the progress
    very annoying

    How can you choose an earlier save? From Wat I can tell there is only one file and mine is over written with that weapon bug

    I'm playing PC version, which allows you to manual save on top of in-game autosave
    I got a habit of manually saving every now and then to prevent losing the whole progress due to bugs like these.

    Yeah me too

    My double bow is missing. It started glut hung after I was riding my tiger and I couldn't move, just look around. I don't know about the uncaged mission but I just finished defeating the blue chick from Azelea or however you spell it mission...how does a patch work on the ps4 to fix the problem? I've never done it. Do I leave it in rest mode and it does it for me?

    I honestly can't believe they implemented a menu based save feature on the PS4 without allowing for redundant saves. It's just poorly conceived. I should not have to exit the game and copy a save to a USB drive just to get a backup, especially if they're going to ship the game with ridiculous bugs like this.

    If/when they patch this bug, yeah just leave it in rest mode and let the update download and install. In theory it should be fixed when you re-enter the game. But, since we're not getting an answer on this, I'm not keeping my fingers crossed on this getting fixed any time soon.
