Wire Bug aiming buggy?!?

[Grokdan]

If I rotate camara to see my characters front and use wire bug aim to wire backwards, my character does not jump in the direction I aimed. This is totally weired. Is this changable?
I started my nintendo switch to check if it‘s equal there because I was so confused but it is not! On my switch it works well. Wire bug fires always in direction I aim.
Why is this different on pc?
It seems totally buggy and I have a lot of problems climbing a hill this way.

Maybe it's an option you've changed on your Switch version? If you're using the buttons and not ZR/right trigger to 'fire' the wirebug then that is absolutely the normal behaviour.

Are you using aim(ZR) fire, or Y/B fire? Y/B fire respects character direction not camera direction, same as on Switch. You may be pressing Y/B fire on pc while thinking you're pressing aim(ZR) fire.

change key bindings, it's not a bug

The ZR Fire fires the wirebug where you are aiming. The Y/B wirebug fires in the direction your character is facing or moving. The idea being that Y/B wirebug doesn't use the aim at all and one is for ground traversal and the other is for a an angled jump, both in front of the character. It's very responsive though, if you turn your character around quickly and do a Y/B Wirebug sling, it will always be in the direction you are trying to go, even if the character isn't quite yet facing that direction.

I used left and right mouse button but these are like Y/B....
It works now if I press Ctrl (my binding for blocking) when you aim

No offence, but the game clearly tells you in the keybinding section what left and right mouse button and block correspond to for silkbinds.

The port might be ♥♥♥♥, but this one's totally on you.
