Nail gun glitch?

[androxin]

(Hey guys. New here. Been lurking a lot, probably will lurk a lot more because I enjoy reading the discussions very much but have little to contribute. Checked to see if there was already a thread about this and couldn't find anything so I apologize if this is redundant.)

I found the code for the nailgun online and decided to give it a shot, and though it is sometimes useful, truthfully it's given me more trouble than it's worth. The nailgun is impossible to drop. At any given time I am able to carry the nailgun and one other weapon. He will not swap the nailgun for any other firearm (I can pick up shotguns but as soon as I need an axe or a firepoker I have to drop it, either permanently or temporarily.

REVEAL SPOILER

Earlier in the game I completed the Cinema Verite sidequest and collected the golden gun

, then today I ended up in St. Maria's Monastery with no pistol ammo left and a good chunk of that area remaining. I had to leave the gun. Gone forever.

Has anybody else had this problem?

I used the nailgun myself over multiple playthroughs, but I never encountered this glitch. In fact, I had more trouble accidentally dropping the gun. Have you tried switching a pistol on hand into the holster and then dropping the nailgun when another gun is in the holster?

The nailgun works like any of the other hand guns: you have to find the ammo and you can only holster one at a time.
I have never encountered any problems with it xDD
Not being able to get rid of it is definitely a glitch

turns out I'm actually just an idiot, I figured it out. it's funny though, I did a google search before posting here to see if anybody else was having this issue and there were some posts in other forums about it. so I'm glad I'm not the only one who was just too faily to figure out how to hit left on the d-pad.

in other news, I beat the game today and I'm looking forward to delving into the downpour spoilers forum finally!

Dont forget to complete all the endings and side quests before entering the spoilers section!!

Ah, well glad you figured it out. I've only done the baseball bat/pistol code, which was probably the worse of the three options. Oh well.
