Anyone ever playing lucio and gun and boop COMPLETELY stops working???
It jus happened again in an arcade match…
It doesnt happen often— but its happened 5 or 6 times to me since ow2 launch.
Basically---- at some point middle of a match— my primary fire and boop comepletely stop working.
I can still melee, switch songs, amp it up, wall ride, etc.
Just cant fire the guns. Its happend for as little as 30 seconds-- but this last time jus now was 3 or 4 minutes in game with no ability to shoot.
Im on ps5— and its only ever happened while playing lucio. Also- the dualsense trigger feedback seems to get tighter/tougher during these times.
This last time, i planned to switch heroes when i died to see if that would fix it— but iactually was able to stay alive and keep healing/boosting the whole time so i didnt get the chance.
Jus wondering if anyone else has experienced this- and if theres a way to remedy it in game???
Im on Ps5 as well and I just had something similar happen yesterday where I couldnt get my alternate fire to work. I cant remember what character it was on.

And here I thought it was just how pitiful his boop has become. But now maybe not?

I feel like I’ve noticed that there are definitely times (I am on PC) where Lucio’s SW just does not work. It’s not an issue where like, oh, I died first, or got stunned, or whatever. Flat out I am trying to desperately use it in a scenario, and it does nothing, and does not go on CD (and, obviously, was not on CD in the first place).
I’ve got approx. idk, 5000 hours on Lucio alone and don’t notice this happening to any other hero that I play. It is not super common, but not so uncommon enough that it does not happen often…but I am never in the scenario where I can sit and analyze to try to replicate the situation that led to it in the first place (team fights, etc).
Considering SW Lucio’s bread and butter to survive when attacked, if it does not work when it should, odds are you’re going to lose that fight. That’s a bummer. SW used to require ammo to use; I sometimes wonder if there is a bug that goes off that is somehow attached to that? (Though I often double check my ammo when it gets ‘jammed’, and sometimes find I’ve got a full clip, so I’m not sure).
To be frank, compared to most of the other supports way to help themselves when in a fight…Lucio’s SW is actually pretty weak. Zen was weak, but they essentially gave him an ability in snapback kick that is stronger than SW…so for it to still be buggy (this has been happening for a long time on Lucio) feels a little stinky.

Well im glad im not the only one… tho i do want to reiterate thats when this happens to me— its BOTH primary fire AND boop.
Its like the gun jams entirely… im left with jus melee as far as damage output.
But like you, theres never really a chance to test in game… even without guns i tend not to die much- im a squirrely lil frog =)
so changing heroes and then changing back doesnt really happen.
It usually fixes itself before i die. But it can be literal minutes before it decides to work again-- and minutes seems like a lifetime midmatch.
The thing that got me wondering is the ps5 adaptive trigger gets tougher to press in— i have it set to off with shortened trigger length (i recently got dualsense edge) so the fact that all of a sudden its tougher to press down i feel means somethin-- jus dont know what.
It happened b4 i had the edge controller too-- its jus feels more pronounced with shortened triggers.
as u also said- it doesnt happen crazy often-- only a handful of times— but often enough that its very clearly a thing- and its frustrating as heck.
Blizz has never helped with any issues ive brought to them- im literally still missing 4 skins and an emote from ow2 account merge…
So i dunno what to do =(
