I stumbled upon a nasty game-breaking glitch that prevents me from drawing and using any kind of weapon. Noticed it only after getting into a fight and realising I cannot shoot and have to win using quickhacks. Tried saving and reloading the game. After loading, a weapon flashes briefly and then disappears. Holding down Alt and selecting a weapon in the circle does not draw it. Using the mouse wheel does not make any weapon active. Pressing 1, 2, or 3 does not make any weapon active.

Now I'm going back through the autosaves looking for one, loading which may fix the problem. Otherwise, quickhacks are my only weapon...

Possibly related to or a consequence of another glitch were after equipping a weapon the requirements for which aren't met, the weapon slot remembers the "requirement not met" status no matter what weapon is equipped into the slot.

Game version is 1.06.

Try another weapons slot. Also try repairing the game or loading from before you did that as that is what likely broke it.

This happened to me as well. Somehow the game thinks the whole city is now a "safe zone", no way to fix this. You have to roll back to a save where the bug is not in. If you don't have one you are screwed.
I could solve it by going back into the save zone (quick) save and reload. After leaving the safe zone I could draw my weapons again (this was in pacifica for me).
Good to know. Lost 30 minutes because I could not figure out a way to get rid of the bug.
I think I might have found the culprit in my case as I was able to reproduce it by moving V away in the middle of a "blue" dialog that leads to a follow-up "blue" dialog option. The game seems to think it is still in the dialog and disallow the weapon actions.

Same thing happen to me, while I did not had to shot or anything I was on my way to Japantown, then you know a very good looking women offered her "services" I paid the 100 eddies fee, but after the cut scene I was able to use my weapons again.

After a while happen to me again got it fixed same way.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, will keep it in mind. If my suspicion about the game getting stuck into "chat mode" is correct, then perhaps interactions like that one where you finish some dialog line get it unstuck.

I'm still not sure why CDPR made dialogs activate and deactivate based on proximity. It may feel more natural, but it breaks some aspects of the game, like you cannot interact with objects close to NPCs that you can talk to.
