**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened**  
In PVP after using Bronzelock Pistol with a lot of gold (about 150-200 thanks to Greed and Cedric, Ubastet is also in the team) the Bronzelock Pistols destroys almost a screen full of gems. Then the game freezes to the mana gain animation and doesn’t recover so I have to manually close it and restart. It happened at least 5 time against different teams.

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
It happens about 50% of the time I use Bronzelock Pistol with enough gems. It happened after upgrading it to +8 for sure. Before it was +5 and I had no problems.

**Steps to make it happen again**  
Use Bronzelock Pistol with enough gold.

It’s a known issue caused by bugged Zap affix. More info here.

I just noticed this thread after upgrading the pistol 😭

Is there anything you guys can do to reverse the process or do i have to wait until 4.0 drops out.

Thanks
