issue with weapons randomly firing

I have played multiple times and having issue with weapons randomly firing own its on. This is not good because when it happens it gives away team location and then my squad get killed.  At first i thought it was a issue with my mouse so i tried another mouse and still the same issue. The only way i can get it to stop is to holster my weapon but when i use the weapon again still the randomly firing. So i don't play the game anymore its hard collecting loot and then your weapons fires without pressing any button cleaning out your ammo

  • You must have a key bind or button conflict somewhere. Have you checked your settings to see which keys or buttons you have bound to fire?

  • For the controls i'm using the default settings for mouse and keyboard. All the buttons work as designed in the game its just at random points in the game my weapons will fire without pressing the fire button on mouse.  I thought it was issue with my mouse so i changed the mouse and same issue.  I tried repair and uninstall the game and same problem. I even tried 2 different computers and the same problem happens. I even created a new account but not going to bother trying it. Its almost every over game it happens

    Did your mouse come with any kind of software? If it did you could check the settings to see how the buttons are bound.

    A longshot but do you have any other peripherals connected such as a console controller?

  • mouse is just usb mouse and no software came with. No other peripherals connected.  I will probably wait until new game modes come out to see if any change.  After trying 2 computers and 2 different mouses it seems to continue to happen

  • try Spybot AND Malwarebyte's, you probably have any malware. also CCleaner.

    as IT i don't see any other causes if you tryed to change the mouse

    Edit: it don't have to be related to Apex itself, but causes clicks happen randomly

    Just a suggestion but you could try restoring your key binds to default just to make sure they are default. Sorry for the lame suggestion, I'm sure you've already tried this.

  • This is a rare bug. I got it too. The bug where one of your weapons is stuck shooting and if you change weapon, your other weapon works normally. The fix is to drop the weapon having problems and pick it up again.

  • Try using a different mouse, this indeed seems like a typical buttonmapping issues which I use to have on my deathadder chroma way back.

    I've never experienced this issue, I play on console so not sure if it's a PC only thing, I can see how that would be very frustrating
