ok last night i was messing around with a patcher build andi found a pesky little bug.
to use any patcher skills you must have hacker style active.
to have hacker style active you can not have a gun equiped
so after you do some fighting with a gun with and then you try to heal/buff yourself it will play the animations but it will not actually do the ability. i thought i was crashing at first but then i realized what was happening.
i unequiped my gun and everything went fine. so the bug is this, useing hacker stlye does not remove your gun like the martial arts styles do.
so if you use a gun with hacker. . . you cant do any of the Anytime heals in combat, you cant buff on the run, you cant do hacks and free fire at the same time. you cant use hacks in combat with guns
(unless you take the time to unequip it manualy)
