Re: Option to disable weapon auto swap

I been in situations where I run out of ammo and it auto swaps to my second gun. Now, the issue with this is that I manually switch my weapon when I run out. When I do this, I end up switching back to the gun with zero ammo and then I die.

I want a option to disables this from happening as I rather manually switch my weapon if something like this happens. 

In my case, I ran out of light ammo because it was early game match and I dropped and fought 6 people. On my 4th knock down is where I ran out of light ammo and it switched to my devotion which indeed had energy ammo left. However, when it happened when I was fighting the 5th guy and I ended up switching back to the zero ammo weapon. I get eliminated due to this. I would have won with my devotion because I was basically full health and the enemy have zero cover to escape from a devotion. However, I wasn't able to shoot him due to the auto switch and my mind mentally switching to the devotion but did the opposite.

    @Leo_the_Lion25 That's a fair request, I personally always want as many toggles and options as possible. I actually got into a similar situation not too long ago, but my squadmate swooped in and saved me. 🙂

    @Leo_the_Lion25 other thing is no auto swap when i pick a 2nd weapon. sometimes in the middle of the fight i don't want the enemy take weapons so i pick them.

    but doing that they auto-swap and those seconds changing weapons is a death wish to me ☹️

    Yeah I hate Auto swap...
    It is rage inducing..
    I was killed the other day because of it.
    I was running an r99 and ran out of light ammo and it auto swapped to my hemlock while I was pressing triangle to manually swap.

    So it swapped back to my empty r99.
    Then I went to swap back to my Hemlock.
    All while I was engaged with an Octane in Artillery.
    The Octane blew me away with an Eva8....

    I would have won that fight.
    Rage Inducing.

    Auto Swap should be optional.
