Giant Enemy Crabs - Speargun Doesn't Shoot

[Vereneth]

On the quest where you kill crabs with the speargun on a beach the speargun no longer shoots after you kill the giant crab.  You have to kill the remaining crabs from your 50 with your skills.

Yea, been broken for a while now =\

After the Giant Crab kill the gun becomes unusuable and even replacing it with new one from the rack does not make it work again, forcing the player to kill the remaining crabs for the quest manually.

I had the same problem on multiple characters making this quest annoying and rifle useless

[Bamboo Brat]

yup, it's annoying. I find it faster to just kill the crabs with your skills though.. Wait for em to group up, then slam em hard. 

[Kyouga]

wtf? my reply jumped to wrong topic?!

[ShadowLane]

On one toon I waited with killing the giant crab till I had all smaller crabs killed - but it took 5 minutes for it to respawn after getting killed by NPCs...

I had the same issue with the spear gun not firing but replacing it, from the rack, worked for me. I never noticed this on my first play through as I just killed them all manually so I don't know if this is new or not.
