weapon fire selector will automatically switch to semi

I've been seeing an increasing issue when I play as assault or engineer and have any weapon that switches from full auto to semi, toggling on its own when behind or close to ENEMY players. This can happen multiple times within seconds of each other or will space out to happen every few minutes. This happens a lot after reloading. This does have EVERY single match on ANY map I've played on ANY game mode. This was first noticed by me on the day of release, but I had to test it before bringing it up. To ensure I wasn't hitting the selector by accident, I unbound the key, and it still happens just as frequently. The guns I confirmed it has happened to me with M433, M4A1, M277, SGX, and PW7A2. I didn't see this issue during the beta, and I have all of the same equipment as I did during the beta. I have reinstalled the game 4 times in total and still confirmed to have the issue. I have tested different peripherals and still confirmed the issue.

  • I have the same issue and it happens regardless of class and weapon, usually after reloading, or sprinting the weapon just switches fire mode on its own. 

  • Same issue, also after I revive someone my gun switches to single fire. Starting yesterday. Class doesn't matter though it's all classes all select fire weapons. I'd be like oh a bad guy start shooting then in the middle of shooting boom single fire then I dye. Or hey I'm going to run that way boom gun switch to single fire. Just another thing making it un fun and un playable. Kinda odd though this problem doesn't happen in portal. 

  • Did not see the issue at all until the season one update. Boosting this post because now it happens every game, in every fight.

    I have a similar but far worse problem. The settings say the down directional switches firing modes but mine doesn't do anything. The worst part is my weapons will switch to single fire on their own and they get stuck there. I've looked online in the usual places and many people have the problem but there's no fix that I've seen. Let me know if you fixed it.

  • I have a similar issue except my L3 won't unbind to L3 so everytime you sprint. You keep switching it back and forth. And so when it comes time to shoot you expect full auto but you get semi. Idk why..if I wanted a semi auto..I'd choose one..why have every gun a semi auto makes or have the ability to change it completely. There is no option to unbind it. Just add another bind.
