[controllers] Revert back the old weapon switch mechanic please: Unplayable

[Kepler-452b]

the new switch weapon mechanic is broken and unplayable

it's super slow to get your 9mm now

IMPORTANT - all threads talking about this broken change are listed here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/killingfloor/comments/j25dzi/controller_setup_on_pc_weapon_switch_how_to/


Now, it's a nightmare if you want to switch to your 9mm. You need to hold Y + DPADright!.

Does someone at TWI just tried this ? it seems no.


IMAGINE being able to move and get your 9mm fast? Like before actually

Temporary trick to play and being able to switch to your 9mm like before during the first waves

Go in Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Config

in KFInput.ini:

you have:

bQuickWeaponSelect=false.

You set this to true:

bQuickWeaponSelect=true

bUseGamepadLastWeapon=false.

You set this to true:

bUseGamepadLastWeapon=true

Now, you will be able to switch between your primary weapon and your secondary weapon (9mm) almost like before: You just need to select your 9mm once with Y + DPAD Right, then you will be able to switch with Y.

EDIT: it is bUseGamepadLastWeapon that you need to set to true

It was perfect before, why you changed this ?

Please revert back the old weapon switch mechanic.

PLS FIX THE CHAOS YOU HAVE CREATED

Thank you

WE HAVE TO ASK THAT THEY GIVE MORE IMPORTANCE TO THE CONTROLLERS, BECAUSE IT IS A GAME NOT AN OFFICE JOB, AND HOW THEY WANT US TO PUT IN MORE MONEY IF WE CANNOT PLAY

9mm is no longer accessible with controller

As of9/29/20 when im typing this up, the 9mm isnt able to be accessed while using the quick swap on controller.

Revert back those changes TWI Please

it's a real nightmare! it's totally unplayable! and it's intended!!

in the last update:

there is a section for controller:

The controller’s “Switch Weapon” hotkey will alternate between all primary, secondary and melee weapons without including the single version of the 9mm and the knife.

It seems no one is testing if it's playable because it is just unplayable.

It was perfect before why they changed that ??

Look at my post about this please:

I'm sure you want them to revert back the old weapon switch: It was perfect.

Why cant they just make it an option to select (or not)? Beats me...

Just give us the option to have the cycle with or without the 9mm involved. I have muscle memory for how many times to press 'Y' on my controller to switch around, plus I love using the 9mm in a pinch, or a tight situation. Now that I have to stop what I'm doing completely to switch to the pistol, I don't want to use it at all .

"I don't want to use it at all" This is what people have been experiencing since the last update.

Too many topics in this thread, and since English is not my first language I get confusd here.

I play KF2 with gaming controller only. And I use my 9mm more or less even during the mid waves. And now when I press *Triangle* (PS4 Dualshock), I cannot find my 9mm in the rotation list.

Can someone please help me? How do I get my 9mm BACK to *press Triangle" -rotation list? This is VERY important thing for me. I'm not gonna use the slow way, I want my 9mm back to the rotation list.

So can someone please help me? Simple instructions, please. Thank you! :)

Regarding the weapon switch for controller users, Tripwire broke the game in the last update.

The only thing you can do is joining us to ask them to revert back to the old weapon switch mechanic.

Everyone is complaining: PC PS4 Xbox One

Remember that We like your game Tripwire.

I injured my neck and now using a controller is much more comfortable to me, but it's hard to deny weapon switching is at a real disadvantage.

I would like to see multiple controller layout options, which would include an option to cycle through all weapons with the quick swap option, or to choose which weapons to skip over with the quick swap option.

It's frustrating because I can see my own diminished performance while using a controller, and it has gotten a little worse now. But using a mouse and keyboard is not an option for an extended period of time since my injury.

Okey, thanks man.

I got this "improvement" all wrong from the beginning. I understood what they were doing, but for some reason I had this idea that I can enable the old system back whenever I want. And I really wanna use the old weapon switch system since I've pretty realiable muscle memory to find the particular weapon I wanna use in a particular situation - including my 9mm.

I'm really disappointed if I cannot use the system I'm used to use. The new system is too slow, too cumbersome. If you ask me, even Knife should be included in the old weapon switch system (controller). But now they're taking 9mm away without allowing us to enable it back, which is a step to a complete wrong direction. My cup of tea though.

Someone might think I'm overreacting here, but this "improvement" hinders my early and mid wave gaming so much that I might even stop playing the game. Not trolling here - KF2 is still my favourite multiplayer PvE game, and I'd love to continue playing it.

Still hoping I've misunderstood the whole thing.

Can we have some words from Tripwire to know when we will get a roll back

Can we have some words from Tripwire to know when we will get a roll back (or at least the option to choose the same weapon switch mechanic that was in place before this update) ?

Would you mind giving your long term fans some consideration please ?

We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Sharpshooter was great with the 9mm and now as a console player I can't reliably switch to it. This update feature is destroying my play style for earlier rounds

I can't wait for another huge update to fix their mistake

from https://www.reddit.com/r/killingfloor/comments/j2ho58/sharpshooter_was_great_with_the_9mm_and_now_as_a/

I dislike the new weapon switch to 9mm Pistol

I'm on console unfortunately.

Should've just been a toggle in options like its supposed to be in the first place.

Year of Quality of Life improvements? More like half **** improvements

On Xbox here, yeah I'd say the sudden change to it is pretty annoying. Probably due to muscle memory of simply tapping Y to alternate between my main gun and the 9mm the last few years

Another dumb thing nobody asked for from tripwire

Yet we couldn't just get an option, they had to force it on us.

some youtube complains

Man im on ps4 why i cant no longer switch to the 9mm with triangle

yeah that’s annoying

It works pretty well if you're used to it and set it up right.
