Starfield players looking for how to fix a bug that breaks guns figured out changing their character's gender is a solution.

Apparently it's nothing to do with changing the gender, only opening the character creation screen. So you can open that screen and then just close it, and it should work again. Weird bug though!

The article says that the console command to swap genders also works.

I haven't experienced it so I have no clue.

Wonder if that pseudo opens the screen.

It runs the change character script, which resets animations.

It might alter some of the same variables causing this bug.

It probably triggers a write of the character data which ends up overwriting some bad value that is actually causing the problem.

This is why you don't use global variables, kids!
