Changing Weapon Once In Hand

[beachdogvet]

I play the PC game. Once I have a weapon in hand ( say a grenade ) and I want to switch to the knife, how do I that? I've tried a variety of things but it seems I'm stuck with whatever I chose first until I release it...which can have disastrous results.

number keys across the top of your KB

1 - 4 are your weapons (guns and such )

Throwables are
5 - nades
6 - Molotov coctail
7- throwing Knife
8 - Bait

9 - c4 charges
0 - mines

also your mouse scroll wheel is the default to scroll your throwable items

Once I press the scroll wheel I get a throwable in my hand. But I can't seem to switch to another thowable ( in the event I don't want the current thowable in my hand ) unitil I release it. Follow?

again press your number keys across the top of your KB .. they change what weapon is active

no clue why you cant change your thowable with your mouse wheel ..works fine here ..has since the game shipped in 2014

yea you STILL need to make sure you have the right one equiped before you Press your scroll wheel tho before ya chuck one

yep i made that mistake lot at first and wipped a nade instead of a knife .. you have to get used to it by looking at your HUD and use your number keys

but you can still use your Number keys to swithch your throwable items .. thats a default setting unless you changed your key binds

I understand about the keyboard numbers and scroll wheel switching throwables, i get it. And that does work.

What I'm saying is.... once a throwable has been selected and in my hand, and my hand is raised up with the throwable visible, I can't change the throwable in my hand unit I "mouse up" / let go of the mouse scroll wheel, which releases the throwable from my hand.

Only then can I switch to a different throwable.

Ok...I just re-read your last post. where you said..

"yea you STILL need to make sure you have the right one equiped before you Press your scroll wheel tho before ya chuck one"


right...that's what I was driving at. So I wanted to know if you can change throwables after "equipping" .ie... after pressing the scroll wheel. Apparently not. That blows!

no once ya press the wheel your gonna throw what ya got in hand

make sure its the riught one first look at your hud ..or use your number keys to verify your gonna chuck the right one
