A persistent bug in Star Citizen has been locking players into their super heavy armor, preventing them from swapping to lighter suits even when trying through the normal inventory or ASOP terminal menus. Frustrated players took to Reddit to find a fix rather than wait on an official patch, and it looks like a workaround has emerged from the community.
According to a thread on r/starcitizen, players have found that specific sequences of actions—such as interacting with storage, terminals, or repeating certain menu steps—can free characters from the stuck armor state. The exact steps reported by users may vary depending on the situation, so anyone affected should check the original thread for the detailed walkthrough that fellow players have laid out.
As with many community-sourced fixes, results may not be universal, and CIG has not yet issued an official statement confirming a permanent solution. Players dealing with this issue in the meantime may want to bookmark the thread for reference until a proper fix arrives in a future patch.
This is our summary of a community discussion — see the linked Reddit thread for the full details and workaround steps.
