Huge Sword & Blocking Bug

    I'm not aware if this has been mentioned before, but I've encountered a huge problem with the new sword mechanics. I'll do my best to describe the steps to recreate it so you can see it for yourselves as well (steps are for PC or keyboard users):

    1. Aim with your Eye of Reach (have not tried other guns)
    2. While holding your aim, press 1 to switch back to your sword (or 2 if you have it set to that)
    3. Your pirate will default to blocking with his/her sword even if you let go of the aim button
    4. This hinders your pirate's movement and also prevents you from attacking, unless you break out from the bug.

    Let me know if you're able to recreate the bug.

    Currently, the best way to avoid this is to not switch to your sword while aiming your EoR.

    @thenospine some things were changed to balance out sword play between pc and xbox.

    @violet-oddsauce Right, I'm aware.

    The problem is, these changes seem to have brought this bug with them. Again, this only happens after following the sequence I wrote down. Once every step is followed, your pirate will be stuck blocking with their sword (you don't have to be holding down the block button) and I'm sure that's not the way it was intended to be.
