On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
Summarize your bug Having issues with fire mode select. I’ve only used a few guns so I’m not sure if this app lays to all. For the AK, mode select doesn’t work. Same with the M5. For the PBX about 75% of the time it doesn’t work, 25% I can switch to single fire but then it gets stuck in single fire until I redeploy
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Test fire mode select on these guns, maybe all guns with options
What happens when the bug occurs? Unable to change fire modes.
What should be happening instead? Fire mode should change

Makes it difficult to engage in ranged fights with automatic weapons, as you can’t switch to single fire so you end up bursting most guns which still has some recoil kick

  • I worked out that because I have the SOLDIER WEAPON ZOOM set to TOGGLE in the options that this stops you being able to change the fire mode. 

    FIX: if you hold in LT rather than toggle then you can change fire mode... But you can ONLY do this first time you toggle to aim down sight. (Obvs next LT input will be interpreted as cancel zoom)

    2nd FIX: change SOLDIER WEAPON ZOOM option back to HOLD... Not really a fix.

    EA this is a BUG.
