Just a tiny point, in firing range you can pick up superfluous attachments by holding what is, on console at least, the weapon swap button. I'm not sure I've ever tried to pick up say, an extra lvl 2 mag when I have a purple one, in game. But I don't imagine that it acts any differently in game.
edit - I decided to check to make sure I'm right and, sure enough, I can easily pick up a superfluous lvl 2 mag by holding the triangle button.
What he means is, You cant pick up any Mags into your Backback of the SAME Level that your ONE Gun already has (this issue is behaving only when you run around with one single weapon), and hold on it to go and grab the SECOND Weapon afterwards.
It only works if the Mag has another Tier Level (on PC you use Alternate Pickup Keybind for this).
You need to put your Mag that you have on your ONLY Weapon into the backpack first, and then you get the second mag, on your ONLY Weapon again, and now you have 2 Magazines of the same level and you are able to go and grab the second weapon now for it.
His Example was with two Lv3 Heavy Mags and a Wingman fitted, and a CAR SMG that he was going to grab AFTER he wanted to grab the second LV3 Mag.
Again, when the second Heavy Mag would be a LV1 or LV2 or GOLD Mag, the Alternate Pickup Key works, and THAT is something that he explained, and ofc, it makes no sense and is counterintuitive and very, veryyyy, veryyyyyyyyy easy to fix in my opinion.
It just seems that the AutoLoot Algorithm is not reckognizing the same Mag Level on the ground as an alternate object "grab" because "ALL" your Weapons (in this specific case you only have ONE Weapon but Autoloot checks it as ALL WEAPONS) have already the "same" Tier Level attached. Therefore it only recognizes "OTHER" Levels as alternative object "grab".
Easy fix, a check function in between if one or two weapons are fitted and therefore release the "same Tier Level" Mag Restriction or even easier, but sure a bit "distractive" maybe, disable the Tier List Algorithm completely when you have only ONE Weapon fitted and let all Tier Levels, be a "alternate object" grab Function, and switch back as soon as the 2 Weapons Fitted Function comes back with TRUE.
:D
It really is super simple...i would say, 40minutes for one guy to implement it but who knows what will be broken after someone changes one or two lines of AutoLoot Code :D idk maybe we will have Godzilla fight KingKong on the Map...and little white space Unicorns will drop from the skies and bring the purity of the Flamethrower upon us.
Everything CAN happen...! :D have a nice day.
@ALIEN_I_AM Cheers for the correction/clarification!
EDIT: Maybe I'm still misunderstanding you. I just went to the range to see what you mean. I put a couple different level mags on a P20, without having picked up a second weapon. When I looked at the same mag on the ground, I got the regular "pick up" prompt and could pick up a second, identical mag into my inventory with no issue. I dropped the P20 and tried a different weapon with the same results. I'm left wondering if perhaps PC and console behave differently in this regard. What have I got wrong here?
