When using the harpoon ability, the rope is no longer visible; the ability still works, but it looks like the target is being pulled by an invisible rope.
I'm on PS4 Pro, with a save file of 450+ hours. I'm not sure when the bug started happening, but I've found that the bug is not present when using an old save file from January 2021.
Hello there @KayThaxby!
I'm sorry to hear that your harpoon rope has turned invisible. Thanks for helping out here, @lemmie88! The development team are aware of this issue wherein the harpoon rope will appear as invisible when the torso gear is hidden. They're currently investigating this further. I'd recommend keeping an eye out within the News & Announcements forum for any future updates regarding the harpoon ability.
Thanks!
