Can't See Weapon's Fire Mode Unless You ADS

Product: Battlefield 2042
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
AMD or Nvidia Model Number 1080 Ti
Enter RAM memory size in GB 32
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Conquest
Please select your region North America
On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
Summarize your bug See below.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Look at the HUD. There's no fire mode for your weapon when you're not aiming down sight. When you do ADS, then the fire mode appears.
What happens when the bug occurs? You don't see the fire mode (single, burst, full auto) for your weapon until you ADS.
What should be happening instead? You should be able to see your weapon's fire mode by default on your HUD without having to ADS.

‌

This may not be a bug as it could be an intentional HUD design. Anyway, the weapon's fire mode is only shown when ADS. When not in ADS, the "T" is shown. I think it makes more sense to have the fire mode shown by default, and the "T" to set attachments should either be elsewhere or not be shown on the HUD. I'd like to know ahead of time what my fire mode is set to in case I forgot that I changed it.

    Thanks for posting this.  I posted during the Beta about this, hoping it would be addressed.

    @SterlingARCH3R I agree that a more specific indicator should exist.
    However, you can note the crosshair when you are not in ADS; if it's got 4 lines forming a cross '+', it's in full auto mode, and then 3 lines - sides and bottom forming a 'T' indicating semi-auto.

    @X505 Yes, I noticed that part. However, when you're running you can't see it as the crosshair is a dot.

    This was fixed for a while, but today's update brought this issue back.  I can't see my weapon's fire mode unless I ADS.

    Would like to know if this is coming back too, I see in the weapon there is a similar weapon selection icon, but it's too small and blends in to see in your peripheral vision like the icon when you ads

    as a reminder , we would like to have the option to always see the fire mode on the HUD. The option in the settings is not there after update 4.0 

    Yes, i know you can identify it based on the crosshair symbol, but when your traverse run its not visible. Maybe in the next update it can be implemented back.
