Bow misfire mechanics (solved)

Gameplay
#1

When go to use my bow, more often than not, when I hit R2 (PS4) to fire the arrow, the animation does not properly draw the arrow back. The arrow then fires off about 1 foot straight into the ground. Even pushing X to try and cancel the shot doesn’t help.

If I bring up my inventory screen then go back to fire an arrow, it seems to work, but I am having to do that between almost every shot.

Anyone else noticing something like this? I’m I actually screwing something up?

I am not using an overpowered bow, tried multiple types of bows as well.

SOLVED
I switched controllers. Apparently it was the r2 button the only wouldnt work on the bow.

#2

Do you have the required stats for the bow? If not, the bow would misfire like that

#3

Do you just hit the button or do you press and hold the button?

#4

So I’ve been experimenting with this. I hold the button down for a full draw and get the misfire.
I’ve also tried didn’t level requirements with the same effect either way.

But saving restarting and trying again fixes it for a few hours.

Can’t figure out wtf is the main cause

#5

Ok no even tried switching ammunition.

Its like the animation won’t start then the arrow just falls to the ground.
