[Feature Request] Eat guns on the ground as Robot

[ryven]

I've been playing a lot of Robot, and as much as I love eating delicious guns, after a while I get tired of shuffling them around. Stop, make sure you're holding the gun that doesn't need ammo, swap it with the one you found that you want to eat, eat that one, pick your gun back up. It's a small hassle, unless you need to refuel during combat, in which case it's an enormous one.

I would love to have a way to eat guns without picking them up, so that I can chow down while on the go. Ideally, it would be on a different key so that you don't have to change the default behavior.

They planned on doing this, I guess a new key would be used like r or f

I actually like it as it is. Plus the interaction with curse weapons is interesting.

Anyone who plays robot 99% of the time wants to comment on this feature? :P

I wanna eat cursed weaponry with sharp teeth on, that would be lethal

I agree! The way it is fine. Only problem is eating the wrong weapon

A prompt could pop up like "E to swap, RMB to eat" so you know when you can safely eat weapons on the floor.

I would like this. But, eventually the rhythm of pickup, chow, pickup or even switch, pickup, chow, pickup becomes second nature. I play on Xbox controller, so for me it just becomes X-L-X or Y-X-L-X, that I can do in a fraction of second if time demands it.

A lot of times though, I enjoy killing the last enemy a bit further away from me so I don't get sucked in the portal; then leisurely stroll about the level perusing the various weapons that have dropped; switching and picking and choosing; considering whether I should eat, keep or switch out one or the other, and even pondering whether I should eat one weapon with another particular weapon type in my secondary so I could top up on a specific kind of ammo. For Robot fans, I'm sure you've done this before, heh.

The current active ability of robot is too awkard to use, I was about to post about this when I saw this topic.
In my opinion, it should be reworked so it works in a small area, kind of like a wrench attack, transforming weapons into ammo or medpacks. It could even work on some props, like the abandoned cars.
