So musketeer orbs reappear even after loading the orb into the gun after a few seconds. This bandaid fix was supposed to prevent orbs from not appearing anymore (but its still happening, just less often now).
At the same time, if you hold an orb in your hand for enough time for the orb to reappear around the gun, the orb in your hand no longer loads into the gun.
But this “time” it takes to reset actually adds up. So if you hold it for 3 seconds and then load it. Fire the orb. Then hold an orb for 2 seconds, then fire it. Then the next orb you hold will disappear within 1-2 seconds so it can actually disappear as you go to load the gun.
Essentially the new bandaid system to fix orbs disappearing is creating a new problem for orb loading because you eventually will have an orb simply disappear out of your hand as you go to load the orb no matter how long you hold it as it just adds up time until it “resets”.
