Quality of Life suggestion: Auto-reload

Hi Respawn team,

​As a player coming from other FPS games, I have noticed a small Quality of Life feature that is currently missing in Apex Legends: Auto-reloading when your magazine is empty.

​Currently, if you try to shoot with an empty mag, the weapon simply does not fire until you manually press the reload button. Apex does have the option to automatically switch weapons when empty, but an option for auto-reloading on trigger pull when empty would be a huge improvement, especially for newer players.

​It would be great to have an option in the Settings menu to toggle this on or off, such as Auto-reload on empty magazine (Enabled / Disabled).

​This would help prevent those frustrating moments where you jump into a fight only to realize your gun is empty, while still letting experienced players keep it turned off if they prefer manual control.

​Thanks for considering this!

    I like this idea, but think it should be modified. Automatic weapon switching only happens when you have 0 ammo for that gun in your inventory, but it should happen when its magazine is depleted instead, or at least be an option in Settings. I think the automatic reload should only happen when you pull out a weapon with an empty magazine.
