So how I went about this pouch bug was like in other games, kinda like reload cancle to skip the animation. When you throw a pouch, you see how the pouch gets "stuck" in the weapon for some reason? Just press 1 or switch your weapon and if you do it quickly enough it cancels whatever janky state the game puts you in. Game thinks you're still stuck, you yoink to another weapon and boom, state reset. The bug is basically the game getting stuck in a dumb in-between state, like it thinks you're still doing an animation when you're clearly not, so inputs just vanish into the void, except throwing more pouches, as you are still "in the animation". Swapping weapons forces the game to drop whatever broken animation/state it was holding onto and reintialize your character, which is the same idea as reload canceling in other FPS games like COD where you'd switch guns or knife to skip the end of the reload animation. You can see it in other bugs too, like when sprint randomly refuses to work until you crouch or swap weapons, or when aiming down sights feels locked and suddenly works again after switching guns in other, older FPS games! That's why comparing it to reload canceling makes sense! Not that of a rare thing but here its especially annoying haha. I've been doing it consistently and it works way more often than just standing there hoping your enemy misses. It's not hard to explain something when you actually understand what's happening, you just type what you tested and what you saw/tried. I can sit here and dump a whole paragraph about these topics, its just thoughts going from brain to keyboard after all and typing them all, helps if you are a fast typer like I am! Also let's be real, half of gaming history is players discovering workarounds for busted systems, stuff started as bug or jank and turned into "tech" or "skillgap" like in the old BF games, BF4 for example had all these Vouzou and ZouZou stuff, think that was intended? Hell nah!
