Weapon Wheel not working, can't select fire bolts for crossbow (fix inside)

[starman01]

Hi all,

(edit) never mind... found the answer on google... .You are not supposed to click on the bolt, just hover mouse over it and then release the wheel....... did I mention i hate the wheels ? :)
Just ignore this post please.

i have an annoying problem, maybe someone has a fix for that ? I have now unlocked all 4 different types of crossbow bolts, but I simply cannot equip them with that damn weapon wheel. Explosive bolts are under "distraction items", and fire bolts are under "trap items"... Everytime I click on the firebolt, the damn game selects the trap instead or in case of the explosive bolts, it selects the distraction.... I can use R to built the bolts, but I can't select them.

Is there no buttom or other function to switch ammo type ? I so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate weapon wheels. There doesn't seem to be a button for ammo switching it in the game unfortunately.

Any help would be appreciated.

One reason why people hated console games. Wheels are almost mandatory for their lousy input device - gamepads

Absolut true... On the other hand, i just can't get my head around why, when console controllers have around 10 input buttons (not sure , don't have any), why do PC ports drown you in an avalange of buttons... While it's mostly fine in Days gone, I'm thinking about Red Dead Redemption 2, it's input are ridiculous, sometimes different buttons for the same task. (of course, controllers have often press two different buttons at once i guess)

If it's alrready in the code base, it should be easy to make it similar.

The only thing I enjoy with controller based games versus k+M is the ability to move in 360 degrees rather than 8 directions. I don't think I would have liked a Days Gone play through on k+m, despite aim being far better and activating various shortcuts probably a lot more simple to control (specifically activating slow motion and sprinting by pushing a single key or maybe mouse 4 or middle mouse as opposed to pushing the stick in which is a terrible motion).

Similar thoughts on Souls game. Yet, I find games like Outward, Remnant 1+2, Warframe, better to play on K+M. PS: Days Gone is technically a Soulslike. heheheeueheheueheueue

I wonder if the difference for me is if precision aiming isn't a focal point or not. If it isn't, I'm good with using a controller. If aiming really matters at all, gotta go with K+M. Granted for a good portion of Days Gone, aiming was pretty important. Difference between a 1shot kill with a silencer or alerting the whole marauder camp or taking multiple mags is pretty big (survival 2 first play through). The stealth mechanics allow you to play it pretty slowly, though, which favors a controller. Unsure. Maybe I should give it a shot with K+M and see how it plays.

Nothing more frustrating than not being able to get the right weapon at the right time... especially in a game where you are being run down constantly.

If I'm correct most pc games with a weapon wheel requires you to hover *and click* on the item you want, whereas days gone requires you only to hover

I found this super annoying to get used to
