None of my guns do damage to enemies

Post » Thu Dec 10, 2015 4:39 pm

Hi all! I'm new to the fallout series but so far I love this game.

The reason for my post is that for the past couple days, I've noticed that none of my guns do damage to enemies. I could use a missile launcher or even a big boy and anything I have to shoot does nada to the bad guys. If I walk up to them and punch them, it does the normal damage but all firing damage and shooting won't hurt anything nor do it a point in damage.

Is this a bug? Is this something I activated somehow? Thanks so much for your help.

That svcks. I had that happen once, but it was only with one enemy, which was killed by my companion.

Does it happen if you load an old save?

Oh boy, that's a bad one.

Did you buy through Steam?

If so, have you Verified your Local Files?

That might work.

You could try uninstalling and reinstalling your game.

Or signing up for the Beta Patches if you haven't yet (that is all that makes my game playable at all).

Sorry everyone, I'm on XBox One. Tried loading old saves and info and nothing works. I didn't start a new character to see if it would be the same with a brand new character but I have so many hours in and really don't want to start a new character. Any ideas and thoughts? Thanks

Same thing happend to me on the Quest " The Big Dig" it wasnt until i was in the second tunnel with the minelarks( and further with the ghouls) that my weapons would not do damage except for critial dmg stored up and npc's attacking, never had this happen and like the person above ive put to much time into this toon to start over. Although at the opening of the second tunnel i entered it and my screen turned White with just my gun & Hud so i loaded a earlier save and repeated and thats when my guns did no damage ( have yet to go to another area to see if still bugged) i hope this gets noticed cause im level 40 and have no plans to start over.

I am having the exact same problem, can blast people at point blank range for no damage. Also, when I use VATS it scopes in on the ground and gives a 0 percent chance of hitting target (not at point blank range). I reloaded an earlier save and the problem was there instantly..... sooooo frustrated :(

I found that restarting my xbox one worked to restore my weapons working again( it is on "instant on" setting ) now it works fine.

Also would like to note that this happened to me on the big dig quest. Loading previous saves did not fix the issue. Going to the dashboard and quitting the game did solve this issue and I was able to continue.
