NEW Weapon bug | Forums

[Pepi93]

All my weapons are showing as being "NEW" again...scrolling through does nothing. There's also something in Appearance that is "NEW" when I go through all the options there is nothing NEW...

Anyone find a fix for this?

Hey Pepi,

This is something we added to our Known Issues since the 3.5 patch.

Gunsmith weapons displayed as new
Some already collected weapons in the Gunsmith will appear as new after the latest PC Title Update 3.5. Please do a quick scroll through them to remove the tag.

This should go away after you scroll through but seems you're not having that happen. Thanks for letting us know so we can report this.

+ Experiencing this as well! =/

Also, the 'displayed as new' returns when the game is restarted.

After trying the workaround the other night, I was disappointed to find that when you collect a new weapon mode, everything is highlighted as new again.

As my original post states, SCROLLING THROUGH DOES NOT FIX THE ISSUE.

Scrolling through does not resolve the issue. This issue is in fact a problem with the "std grenade launcher". Every time you reload the game, the "new" tag reappears on every weapon with this attachment. HOWEVER, accessing the customization screen for ANY weapon with the "std grenade launcher" attachment available and rolling over said attachment DOES resolve the issue for ALL weapons... Again, that is, until you reload the game. :/

EDIT - a thought for the devs: I would suggest looking into the code that unlocks this attachment, as it is unlocked by purchasing a skill, rather than by opening a box like all other weapons/attachments.

Every time I launch the game and go into the layout menu, I have the bright orange notification indicating I have a "new" attachment unlocked, and have to go to the grenade launcher attachment in the under barrel menu and mouse over it in order to make this disappear. I thought maybe if I unlocked an additional skill in that set it might reset the notification, but it still appears. This issue only seems to happen for me with the standard under barrel grenade launcher.

This particular bug with the Std Grenade Launcher has been around since the game came out, but the bug overall has gotten a lot worse with the 3.5 patch. In one of my savegames, it's always the Std Grenade Launcher and GP25 GL underbarrel attachments that are marked as being new every time you start the game up and load your savegame.

Is it keeping you from playing the game? It will be fix or not. I stopped looking at it a long time ago.
