Summarize your bug Remapping controller buttons breaks other functions. I remapped crouch/prone to Right Joystick and changed Melee to B. Variable zoom scopes activate when crouching or going prone and do not otherwise function normally. If I use my Attachment Modification button and try to switch my ammo type ( B ) it melees and breaks the modification.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? As described above, remap your Xbox controller so Melee is B and prone/crouch is Right Joystick. Attempt to use variable scopes and change Ammo type.
What happens when the bug occurs? You crouch and go prone and your variable scope will change with each movement or you will try to switch ammo type and you'll melee, cancelling the function.
What should be happening instead? Variable Scope function should also switch to B with the Melee function, and Melee should be disactivated when your Attachment menu is open so you can use B button to change ammo type.

TLDR - Remapping buttons moves the primary function but not the secondary (and there is no option to remap that) and Melee isn't disabled when Attachment Menu is up so when you press B (if you remapped your controller) to switch ammo you will melee breaking the function.

  • @FRC_CaRnAgEi have the same problem with alternate controller scheme on ps5. when i want to change magazine from quick menu i start strange animation with knife. beside that, i cant cut parachute and cant lower the drone. these actions are all mapped with O on joystick.

  • @FRC_CaRnAgE Same issue here. If you go into the EA help for this game it'll tell you that changing attachments uses the directional pad, not the face buttons as well. I don't even think DICE know this is a problem.
