Holster Weapon on Seperate Button (Controller)

Hi, I have an idea to improve Apex on controller. I think you should be able to separate the action to stow/holster your weapon from the switch weapon button. The way I would implement this would be to keep the default button layout but switch the holster button with the heal button. This would be great, because I would be able to heal while I am moving, instead of needing to take my thumb off the left stick to heal; and I could also simply tap, what was the heal button, to holster my weapons. 

Just an idea, but I think it would be a great option for controller players. Let me know what you guys think.

P.S. I really don't care what you think about aim assist being broken, or how I should just switch to keyboard and mouse, or something like that. I play on console and it is my only option. I am simply putting forward an idea that would enhance the experience for me and for others. Thank you.

  • @daaabears11 I suggest using a double tap function instead of switching buttons up, also sometimes I need to swap my weapons, not pop a syringe in the middle of the fight lol!

    So that would be tap to switch, and double tap to holster
  • @daaabears11 There are a bunch of keybinding that should be possible. The Reload/Interact/*something more* is one of those buttons that gets me killed because of the overlap.

    Would like if that got seperated.
  • @daaabears11 Another option- Get a controller with under buttons. I have jump, crouch, heal and swap/holster on my 4 under buttons.
  • In general it should be possible to remap more of the buttons. And I should be able to map the ultimate away from ping+tactical...

    @hayhor I've played on an xbox elite with the paddles, but right now it is broken and I'm back to a normal one. Still couldn't seperate them afaik.

    Being next to a door or deathbox and needing to reload or the other.. it's just russian roulette

    @1027Hawkeye The option does not yet exist, I was suggesting it existing, I think it would be helpful, and not too bad to implement.
