newly created Jett character can't attack
Bug type: functionality
Brief bug summary: Yesterday I created a new Jett character. When I was asked if I wanted to skip the tutorial cut-scenes I clicked no. Once I get through the initial cut-scenes to the first part of the game where I actually get to control my character, pressing ctrl doesn't make any attack happen.
More details: I chose the basic keybindings setting and not the secondary one. I can see on my quickslots that "attack" is bound to ctrl, so I know that is not the issue. I tried binding attack to different keys but pressing any of the keys I bound it to didn't make an attack happen. I can't continue any further in the game because I have to defeat some enemies in order to do so, but I can't do any attacks to deal damage to them. Relogging doesn't solve the issue.
I just created a new character to see if the same thing would happen again, and it did.
Steps to reproduce: Create new Jett character; choose basic key bindings; choose "no" when asked if you want to skip the tutorial cut-scenes; once you are through the first cut-scenes and are controlling your character, push attack button; notice that nothing happens.
Character name: ChillPhil09
Character level: the character selection screen says level 1. In-game it says I am level 275.
Character job: Jett
World name: Reboot
Date and time of the incident: I created the character last night and had this issue. I tried playing on the character again just now, Saturday April 11, 2020 at about 11pm Eastern time and the issue is still happening.
This is a screenshot of where I am stuck.
Please let me know if there is any more relevant information I can provide.

I just tried to check, and at the map that I'm stuck at I'm not able to open my equipment or inventory windows to check, but I can see that my character is holding a gun in his hand.
I think that attacking without a weapon equipped is possible now anyway, though.
I thought maybe part of the story was you have to die and get saved to progress the story, but that's not the case either. I died and then it reloaded me in the same map and I still can't attack.
