Ultimate Accelerators should be in med wheel
Not sure if has ever been suggested but why isnt the ultimate Accelerators in the med wheel instead of having to go into your inventory and selecting it. Is there a reason for this?

@Koochi-Q You're right about gold backpacks speeding up all consumables. I mostly play Gibraltar so I burn through a lot of ultimate accelerants. Though I'm surprised you haven't had any issue with the med wheel since it's a frequent annoyance for me. I forget what causes it but often when I pop an accelerant or grab a new healing item, it changes my default item back to syringe or med pack. Really frustrating having to go through the med wheel to change it back to shield cells or battery.
Also your point on healing is ridiculous. Whenever most players take damage they pop a shield cell, shield battery, syringe, or med kit but not an ultimate accelerant. It can be used to aid healing but its ridiculous to consider it a healing item.
As Gibraltar I've popped accelerants to win fights quite often so I can see why you'd like this change but most of the time people use them when recovering from a fight or heading to a new one. Unlike the healing items there's rarely any situation that needs an emergency ultimate accelerant and I especially can't see the need for Wattson players.
@heme725 I think I’m either really lucky or something. I’ve not had the reset bug either but I did hear about it :P
Lolz I’d be surprised if someone would do an accelerant if getting shot. ‘Hey I got shot... lemme do my ultimate!’ That’s a bit weird. But I think it’s in reference to that other person’s comment regarding popping the accelerant during a battle. That I do but only if I know I can get away with it and if my ult will help.
As gibraltar, lifeline (in early/mid game), wattson, lifeline, caustic if final circle is indoors and bloodhound it’s good to have spare accelerants in your pocket for the end. Wait you can’t see the need for wattson players using it?

@Koochi-Q Oh yeah there's nothing more satisfying than making it rain as Gibraltar during the last ring. Your squad indoors and the other outside on the roof. Drop your Ult then aim your gun at the doors for an easy win.
Also no I don't see the need for it but I'm not saying she gets no benefit from ultimate accelerants. Her Ult charges quickly on its own and only takes a single accelerant to get it back. When I play her she has her ultimate ready for most fights whether I charge it or not. She benefits from popping them but because she charges her Ult quickly on her own she's never needed them as badly as my fave character.
There are situations this change could help but overall I think this change would have little value to most players or even be seen as a detriment.
- @heme725 I know, I’ve won a couple of games with gibraltar like that. When playing with some buddies we had roughly 4 accelerants ready for first who threw ult. One caustic and one gibraltar xD. Making it rain outdoors and if they come charging in our dome, making it stink indoor :P good times.
True true. I just like having an ult ready as Wattson, pop it, throw an interceptor as bullet fodder/throwable repellent. But you make good points
