[2.1.18] Defender capsule (and other grenade items) "use item" no longer working after new patch
Posted: Wed Sep 16, 2026 2:05 pm
Had been playing on experimental earlier this evening before the new 2.1.18 patch dropped. Logged in a little later after the patch went live, and defender capsules are no longer able to be deployed.
Normally this is right-click, and I had thought it was because the 'Use item' command was bound to the right-click as a hotkey assignment. I have confirmed the hotkey is still correctly bound. Issue remains after reloading save.
I've also confirmed regular grenades do not work also, so it appears to be an issue with all 'thrown' weapon items. However, other items that rely on 'use item' still work. For example, I gave myself some Jelly with console commands, and I can confirm I can eat the Jelly but cannot throw grenades or deploy defender capsules.
