I mean, it seems to be bugged on survi. It was working since prepatch and so it was today. No problems, until I entered a BG (Arathi). Before it started, I suddenly got logouted (not because of my connection). I came back but I couldn’t use Kill Shot for whole BG. It was saying that I must have a ranged weapon. Makes sense, right? Well, it wasn’t required for whole prepatch but maybe they’ve just suddenly changed that after I got logouted. The problem is, when I came back from BG I could use Kill Shot again. So I can do now.
Then what’s going on? Do Kill Shot actually require a ranged weapon? Is it bugged? Please clarify Blizz (my opinion: survi should keep kill shot but that’s debatable)
It was a bug that it didn’t work in that BG you mentioned.
In SV Kill Shot is meant to be usable with a 2H Melee Weapon equipped, hence why it uses the mini-crossbow animation.
I’d advise you to report the bug btw, so they can take a look at it if it happens with more people. The more reports the better.
I can confirm I have also been disconnected during instanced content and came back to find the Ranged Weapon version of Kill Shot. It went back to normal when I left that instance. Must be some weird bug.
