Summarize your bug When using the 'alternate' button layout for controller on PS5, trying to switch the magazine attachment whilst in game instead brought out my knife. This happened 100% of the time. Also, a reload icon appears when my gun was at full mag sometimes. This would happen in maybe 10% of my lives. Finally, one time after using the wing suit on the operator 'sundance' I couldn't shoot my gun or zoom in. This only happened once.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Use the alternate layout on controller and try to switch the weapons magazine in game and it will instead bring out your knife. Try wingsuiting too and maybe the same glitch may happen where you cannot shoot or zoom in.
What happens when the bug occurs? Melee instead of attachment change. Not able to fire or ADS. Annoying reload icon on screen when at full magazine capacity.
What should be happening instead? Attachment change. ADS or fire.

When using the 'Alternate' button layout on PS5, when attempting to change the magazine attachment on the gun, it instead melees and brings out knife. This happens 100% of the time. Also, I couldn't shoot or aim in once after using my wing suit on Sundance. This only happened once. Finally, I had an annoying reload icon when my magazine was at full capacity about 10% of my lives.
