Add Setting to Disable Auto Optic Switching

I am tired of the auto switching optic feature, as an example I just had a iron sight flatline and a 30-30 repeater with a 3x optic and picked up a kraber... was sniping the other team (from the care package because they shot at me)then a team pushed us so I went to use the flatline and got destroyed because I didn’t have any chance to remove the 3 times optic from it...

(who in their right mind would ever use a 3x on a flatline anyways...)PLEASE give us an option to disable this ridiculous feature

i have died so many times because of this nonsence, I admit it doesn’t happen often but its frustrating to constantly have to remove the optic or switch the optic every time I decide to switch weapons and with third parties sometimes you don’t have a opportunity to remove it especially when you are playing as a solo/duo in trio lobbies

    best option so far for me. Hated it before, when you drop the wapon, also the scopes gets off, but could be usefull for the second gun. So you have to switch the weapon and pick it up again. What you are describing, don'T happend once to me, but I am always glad to have a scope on it if I have to switch-pick up a weapon, especially at the beginning of a match.

    @TheApexLegendNub If I understood well, you died cos Optic saver automatically put 3x on flatline when you got kraber. That could happen only if you didnt had optics for flatline, and its 1 in 1000 case. That optics switch is time saver and people wanted it. More useful function would be to you can fix optics so you can never lose it by mistake

    @SrksiiI agree it can be a time saver... but I still want a setting to disable this feature it would be a time saver if im switching from a 30-30 repeater to a hemlok or g7 but its nothing but a hindrance to pick up another weapon like a kraber and for it to automatically put a 3x on my primary where I literally had no opportunity to switch it off because I was in a fight as soon as I picked it up some team was camping the damn package (I shouldn’t have to constantly stand still and take off my damn optic every single time I pick up a weapon I hate this damn feature)

    @II-LAZZARUS-II It would be nice if you could customize it to auto switch certain optics but to auto drop other ones but I would be fine with a auto disable option, you could still keep it enabled but I want it disabled
