Why are my single fire guns reloading after I fire 1 or 2 rounds of a full mag?

I will be using a PK or a Hemlock and after firing just one round or two max it will automatically start reloading and often gets me killed during gunfights, is there any fix to this? I see this question has been asked a few times before and EA has never provided a solution to it.

  • @bxllrxshnz Just on the slight possibility this is the case, you didn't recently start using an Elite/Scuff controller that has paddles, did you? I remember when I first started using mine, it took a short time to adjust, and I had to get used to the paddles being on the back. I found myself crouching or reloading randomly when I did not intend to. Extremely small chance this is what you're experiencing, but was just curious if it might be something that simple
  • @bxllrxshnzI went through the first FOUR seasons of this game shooting a single bullet (firing intentionally) and then executing a melee (very unintentionally). I'm so slow that it took me that long to realize that I clench when I shoot and I was pushing in my thumbstick when I didn't even know I was doing it. Thankfully this game lets you re-map your controller.

    Just figure out which button is your reload button, then swap it for something that won't actually happen when firing.

  • Since switching to a PS5 controller, I have had to deal with opening my map like ALL the time when I'm reloading in intense fights.  I've gotten really good muscle memory for tapping the touchpad again now when that happens!

    @pandareno1999 I've never done this. I can't comprehend it. My biggest issue is accidently switching to single fire when putting down a heat shield.
