The inspect key need readding for console players at least as an option. It is totally unfair to pay the same money as PC players for less functionality especially considering how much they are! There are plenty of buttons it could replaced or been merged with. (Quite literally pressing hold on down D-pad does nothing) I understand gameplay comes first but this is a joke and should been based on feedback before implementation. [CM - Edited title for clarity]

This needs to be fixed rn: Inspect Weapon - Since the Survival Slot took its button on controller (we only have so many buttons!), Inspect Weapon has been moved to the emote wheel by default. It can be bound to any key on PCWith this change it is impossible to spin your Heirloom while running on Console.

Please bring back the inspect on the d pad!!!!! It sucks on the emote wheel... not fair for controller players. I don't care about the survival slot

@Luke0496 They moved the inspect key to the emote wheel by default for anyone on a controller, personally i would rather just keep the inspect key on d pad then open my inventory to use a heat shield or mobile respawn beacon like we used to for ultimate accelerants

@Xenomorphe_Zero I think they should just allow for rebinding

why is the inspection animation transfered to the emote wheel? what is this purpose? I find it odd that I can no longer mess with my heirloom faster and easier just because you felt it needed to be in the emote wheel. This takes away the heirloom from being special or for the most of it. This is the chaos theory update and looking for immediate change back so I can run while messing with my heirloom on playstation 4.

Hey @Luke0496,

The inspect key has been moved on console to make some space for the new Survival Slot, but it's still in-game!

You should be able to access this through the emote wheel now.

Inspect Weapon - Since the Survival Slot took its button on controller (we only have so many buttons!), Inspect Weapon has been moved to the emote wheel by default. It can be bound to any key on PC.

@EA_Mako That's nor as quick or fluid to use whilst running or in game.

Still can't use the running animation that way either.

@EA_Mako I’m hearing a lot of other (particularly controller players) echoing the same thought, which is a lot of us paid quite a bit for a number of heirlooms, the biggest thing about having one is playing around with it while running around, I for one would not have spent several, several hundred on heirlooms if I knew this was going to be the outcome. A lot of us would much rather have a similar setup like the holosprays to use support items vs taking away our quick ability to inspect/play with heirlooms. A simple (seemingly) fix would be to give us a toggle option in the menu for the manner to use them? Those without heirlooms likely don’t care, those of us that have them, care quite a bit. Thanks for your time.

@TheApexLegendNub I don't use controller, but this: "inspect key on d pad then open my inventory to use a heat shield or mobile respawn beacon like we used to for ultimate accelerants"
