(PC) Unable to Change Fire Mode unless ADS

I'm unsure if this affects every weapon with multiple fire modes, but I was playing Conquest and Breakthrough last night and noticed that I couldn't change fire modes on the M4A1 Carbine unless I was aiming down sights.

My current keybind to change fire modes is the #1 key (above Q) on the keyboard.

    I FOUND A FIX! 

    I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my PS5 controller for Battlefield 6, but kept trying to find a way to separate the Fire Mode switching and the ADS Zeroing. 

    Go into Settings. Select the CONTROLLER MENU and then EDIT SETTINGS. Under INFANTRY, click on INFANTRY PASSENGER CONTROL MAPPING.  Select the FIRE MODE / SCOPE ZEROING and assign a button (I used the D-PAD) to it. Then go down the list until you get to TOGGLE SCOPE. Assign this to a TOGGLE of the L3 button. This will let you control the zooming in and out (by pressing L3), and ALSO let you change FIRE MODE with another button (The D-PAD or whatever you choose).

    I have the same issue. Unable to switch between different fire modes.

  • I solved my fire mode / ADS issue.  It was a misunderstood keybind problem.

    I previously had that combo "Fire Mode / Zeroing / Range Finder Zeroing (Hold)" set to my "1" key.  Apparently that means that EVERYTHING mentioned in the combo setting requires a Hold?

    So I cleared that bind and set both "Fire Mode / Scope Zeroing" and "Range Finder Zeroing If Zoomed" to "1"

    Launched a Multiplayer game and I was able to tap "1" to change fire modes instead of going to ADS to do that.

  • Update:  This is happening in the Campaign mode as well so it's likely not just affecting the M4A1.
