Kill skills not activating?

I’ve noticed that sometimes after I’ve killed an enemy or use one of Zane’s action skills with Seein’ Red, that some kill skills don’t always reset or activate, especially Playing Dirty. It’s not that big of a deal when mobbing, but while in a boss fight it can be annoying. Has anyone else had issues with this bug?

With the outrageous amount of broken skills in this game, I wouldn’t be surprised. I’ve only played Amara so far, but quite literally 25% of her skills are bugged in some way.

Not sure if this is what you’re referring to but I have noticed that sometimes the icons below the EXP bar indicating what buffs are active are missing Zane’s Kill Skills from time to time when they should be showing.

However I can easily tell from how Zane is moving/shooting that they actually are active. So it may just be a visual bug and not a functional one.

They work.playing dirty is % chance to proc … unless u have 100% chance it should not always activate. I have +5 in playing dirty and never once it failed to activate

Yes this is what I am referring to. It does seem that certain action skills do activate even though their icon doesn’t show or they show up, but a little delayed.

Playing Dirty is definitely bugged though. It frequently doesn’t show up after I activate an action skill (with Seein’ Red) or a kill, but the others kill skills will. I even tested to see if it was just a visual bug, but when I fired my Echo 5 times, no extra projectile appeared. Tested this multiple times to make sure I wasn’t just getting unlucky with the extra projectile chance. I hope this gets fixed eventually cause that skill is one of Zane’s best in my opinion.

Man U shall have 100% chance for it to proc Evey time I am Zane 100 hours in and it always proxa fine. Ifbu have less than 10 points in it sometimes it won’t activate

I know that Playing Dirty only has a chance to add another projectile. What I’m saying is that after getting a kill or activating an action skill, the Playing Dirty icon won’t always appear under the EXP bar indicating that my next five shots have an extra projectile chance. When this happens, I don’t get a chance to shoot extra projectiles because the kill skill doesn’t active. I don’t know what you’re on, but I’m having this issue on Xbox One.

You don get it… How much is you playing dirty investment?

because it should not always appear. skill description is poor. lets say you have 5 points in playing dirty. so every time you get a kill there is 50% chance it will activate. that means out of 100 kills it will activate 50 times, so yes it should not always activate and you are not having an issue.

now if you had +10 in playing dirty like me: 5 from skills points and +5 from class mod then it would be 100% chance and it should activate every kill and it does and has not failed so.

Oh now I understand. If Playing Dirty does work like that, then the description for the skill is not accurate at all and they should change it. But the description could be right and how the skill works right now could be a because of a bug. I guess we’ll see in the future if they ever change the skill or not. Thanks for the help though, time to farm for a +5 Playing Dirty class mod now.

haha i already have one, hunting down the one with good passives now.
