Electric baton won't be switched to primary automatically

@-AC-bliss4kI made a thread about this right after the baton was put into the game.
Nothing has been done about it since.
Don’t expect a fix to this issue.
I stopped using the baton purely because of this bug.

Yay, they released a new, fun melee weapon.
Oh, it’s bugged and can cost you death.
Stop using baton and use a knife.

What a waste of time that melee weapon was.
