Also having this problem with the Double/Trouble Shotguns.
The status of FORT-1006709 changed to ‘Needs Triage’. We’ve confirmed the issue and it’s waiting to be assigned to someone to fix it.

it happens for me for a lawless weapon, also if i change the weapon the error remains
I had same issue and found the fix. Just replace Heisted Lawless and Unstable Weapons with other weapons and launcher (if you find same issue, restart and try launch session again). I don’t know which weapon caused this issue but definitely one of these.
