Pistol is in wrench slot, & wrench in pistol slot. Any idea how to fix?

[LonelyIzzy]

The keys are binded correctly, & I even reset my controls to defualt with no luck. Any ideas?

[MrLayLay]

Same here. Have no idea why, but it confuses me a lot, when trying to make a shock and melee attack combo

Did you pick up a enemies pistol when you had your weapons removed at the port? I think that's what did it for me.

No idea how to fix it. I just swapped their hotkeys and deal with it.

This problem occurred after killing Peach Wilkins?

[Alt]

Same thing happened to me, it was because I picked up a pistol after giving Peach my weapons and before I reclaimed them

Yep. Picked up a pistol, switched ever since. Meh, I can live with it.

I think this is a common issue in case you pick up the pistol when fighting Wilkins. There's no way to have it replaced.

Believe it or not, my mom plays this game. The original version was one of her favorites, but she's rusty and has memory issues so she's playing on easy. However, she found this bug on her first playthrough, but didn't say anything until I asked today.

I didn't run into this problem on my first playthrough, but it happened during the Peach Wilkins fight on my second. I assumed it was an issue of the inventory caused by new game+ at first, until I saw that people were having it happen on their first playthrough. We talked, and we realized that yes, picking up a pistol during the fight somehow messes with the inventory--we both did it, and I was far too wrench happy in my first playthrough (not realizing that I would actually get all my ammo back) to actually be concerned with picking up the pistol.

It doesn't bother me too much. I got used to the switch fairly quickly, honestly. For me, it's the acceleration issue and the occasional crashes (had four, three at the first hack in the medical pavillion first playthrough) that annoy me the most.

It's harmless. After the first few levels you won't be using the wrench and pistol anymore anyway.

Actually using the wrench can be be done just fine if you supplement it with the proper tonics. I went through most of the game using just the wrench with SportsBoost 2, Wrench Lurker and Bloodlust. Very effective for mowing through anything that isn't a Nitro Splicer or Big Daddy.

Pistol is the only weapon I couldn't really use starting around Hephaestus.

That's fine, so how hard is it to press 2 instead of 1?

Pistol with anti-personnel rounds still work fine throughtout the game if you go for headshots. If you use natural camouflage like I do, you can kill splicers with it before they can even react. Admittedly, a single steel tipped bolt will do an even better job and you might actually get your ammo back but since you're always full of every ammo type in this game even on survivor, it's nice to mix it up every once in a while. It also doesn't have travel time so if the shot is tricky, pistol might be a better option than crossbow.

The wrench is the best weapon in the game by far (past something like the first two levels). Even killed an elite rosie on survivor with it (admittedly, there was a turret on my side as well)

Excuse my Absence :) The answer is simple: this happens WHEN, after getting killed recombinant sent by Peach and Peach Same, look corpses for ammo or other and, inadvertently, take A Gun That HAD A recombinant That automatically puts you at first place. Careful as you search among the dead bodies! Peach dies just take NOW weapons by pneumatic tube!

I've noticed that a lot of times plasmids will not be in the appropriate slot as well. Usually I have to manually remove and re-do all plasmid locations when simply attempting to change out one plasmid, or they are all in the wrong spots as opposed to what is showed on the HUD. Meaning, when I go to hit the appropriate plasmid key on the keyboard, the wrong plasmid equips as to what is displayed in said location on my plasmid HUD. One annoyance which needs addressed but definitely not the priority as opposed to the many other issues this release is having, sadly.

Not to mention the damage bonuses you can get for the Wrench from researching Big Daddies, as well as the Damage Research tonics.

Quick question though--do tonics stack? If they do, adding a couple Damage Research tonics into the mix would make an insanely effective wrench whacker build.
