Can't swap items in Firestorm on PS4

What's wrong with grenade and gadget swapping on PS4? It seems I can't swap them. I navigate to the item in the backpack I want to place in "active" slot, press X, then navigate to the item I want to swap with in that "active" slot, press X again and nothing happens, just sometimes my character stands up from porne/crouch. Yes, I am aware that grenades can only be swaped with grenades and same with gadgets. It only works when I swap item from backpack with empty "active" slot, so I am forced always to drop something on the ground to swap it. Also, I noticed that when I don't have a backpack items in "active" slots actually can be swaped. None of my friends have this problem.

    You can manually set button keys within the game's Controls>Soldier Buttons>Customs. There is one for Firestorm - Inventory.

    Did you make any changes there?

    Still experiencing this, @Glaze602?

    If you power cycle your console does that fix this for you? Are you using a custom PS4 controller?

    Power Cycle

    1. Touch the power button on the front of the PS4 for at least 7 seconds (until the system beeps twice).
    2. Turn it back on after 1 minute. Launch the game.

    It's a bug on PS4, and it hasn't been fixed yet. However, you don't need to drop items and pick them up again because there's an easy fix using custom button assignments, see this video: https://youtu.be/SQI_jtcyoYg

    @CalleSGDK 

    Appreciate the workaround fix for that! 

    The team is indeed aware of it happening and investigating.
