What is HANB?

HANB allows you to reset your hand controller and certain queued events in the inventory controller to get out of the “Hands are busy” bug. It works best if you have a weapon equipped and use the hotkey as soon as the bug happens. Stay calm, don’t and simply press the hotkey to fix your hands.

Can I change the hotkey?

Yes, in the Configuration Manager (F12) you can change the hotkey. Default is ‘End’.

What should I avoid doing with HANB?

Do not spam the key, click it once gently and wait. Clicking it in rapid succession will most likely cause more harm.

What do I do if it didn’t work or want to report a bug/incompatibility?

Report the exact steps you were doing to make your hands get stuck, and provide a log file so that I can try to reproduce it and add support for that specific scenario in the mod. “Hands are busy” is a very complicated bug to fix and this is a hacky workaround. So far it has been consistently working for me as long as the explained steps are followed.

How do I install/uninstall the mod?

Extract/remove the ‘HandsAreNotBusy.dll’ file to/from your BepInEx\plugins folder.

I just had the hands are busy bug when looting a PMC. I tried moving a beer that was already in my inventory and then it started flashing. This is the first time I’ve ever experienced this and my buddy told me what was happening. Luckily enough I did have this mod installed and it seemed like it freed it up.

However, a few moments later, I pulled out a grenade and I couldn’t use it. I also couldn’t reload my gun by the hotkey (R), however I could eject the mag in my inventory and drop a new mag in manually. I’m not sure if I did something wrong or if this is a unique scenario, but I figured I’d bring it up. Here’s my logs from the last raid.

Is “Hands are busy” the usual culprit if you were to loot something at the exact same time a scav does and then lose the ability to pick up items, or start drinking something off the ground that a scav also started drinking and then being unable to sprint until you drink something else?

Report.
Take Kei-Tec RFB on the raid + ammo but not intro magazine. When you will in raid press Reload. Without any animation the ammo will be loaded and you will can shoot. In Inventory stack of ammunition will have animation as if it loading into a magazine but without loading circle. Such a stack cannot be edited in any way.

After using the shortcut for reset animation in logs is printed this:

[Info :HandsAreNotBusy] Cleared 3 stuck inventory operations.
There 3 because ammo was take from 3 stacks. If HANB can fix it via shortcut then i think this is right place for report.

I finally narrowed down my bug to this mod. Occasionally my hands will be stuck as busy and I can’t reload, change weapons, or do anything so I end up dying in raid. I imagine there’s some kind of race condition, but either way I haven’t had the issue since removing this mod.

I’m using open the damn context menu instead and it works much better.

Still hands busy when canceling healing.
This mod does something, but i’m stuck in animation like when you check your inventory. Inventory doesn’t work, F interactions doesn’t work. You can only extract

No idea why this mod on 1.4 version doesn’t allow me to go into hideout.

Sorry if this isn’t relevant, but will this fix a bug I’ve gotten a couple times? I’m in an animation i.e.; healing then cancel to a weapon, the swapping ani. will play in slow motion then I’m unable to do anything in a raid at that point besides extract, can’t swap weapons, open inventory, or even open any menu besides escape key.
