PS4 - Weapon not swinging when I press trigger

Example

I played as Doctor in public games, and two games in a row my weapon won't swing when intended. I don't mean a little lag or anything (my connection can be slow sometimes and I accept that), it just didn't swing at all when I used the trigger.

Once the chase was over, my weapon started to swing repeatedly, like it was finally catching up to when I was pressing it earlier.

I checked my controller to see if it was working, and it's fine. I have no idea why I couldn't swing. It was working fine earlier in the match, then I couldn't use my weapon at all. I'll attach a clip where I used my weapon fine, then I get to a point where I was literally so close to a survivor I was touching them, and my weapon wouldn't swing, so I couldn't get them.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

  • The Doctor
  • Perks: Bitter Murmur, Spies from the Shadows, Distressing, Hex: No One Escapes Death
  • Maps: Coldwind Farm and The Macmillan Estate
  • Frequency of the issue: twice today, back to back

DOCUMENTS TO ADD

  • Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLzCmMPkxng
  • At around 0:14 I started to spam the trigger, cause I should've been able to hit the survivor, but nothing happened.
  • At 0:53 my weapon started swinging all on its own, I was not pressing the trigger when my weapon was firing multiple times.
  • I figure this has to be a bug and not just simple lag, as there weren't any connection issues (I know of), also the incredible delay in the swing was just crazy


Thanks a bunch, keep doin awesome!

    Very likely an issue on your end. Most likely it is your controller. Is it old or used? You might just need a new controller or need to push down harder on the trigger.
