How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? With the Peacekeeper, shoot a shot, quickly reload, as soon as the animation starts switch to your secondary then back to the Peacekeeper, and repeat until all rounds are spent. This allows the Peacekeeper to shoot faster than intended.
What should be happening instead? The reload and switch shouldn't interrupt the speed at which the Peacekeeper's max fire rate should be.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Shoot the Peacekeeper. 2. Reload 3. Whilst the reload animation is happening, quickly switch weapons, from the peacekeeper, and back before either animation (switching or reloading) finish. 4. Repeat until all six shots are used, then reload and go again.
Video at which I found the steps. I heard about this from a friend in Discord, and was concerned for how gamebreaking this could be.
