Unable to Pick Up New Weapons in Burial at Sea
So I'm progressing through the DLC just fine. I get the Hand Cannon and the Tommy Gun, then I switch the Tommy Gun for the Carbine when I find it. Now though I just can't pick up the Tommy Gun again, anywhere in the DLC game. Enemies drop them and Elizabeth brings in a barrel of machine guns through a tear, yet I have no ability to pick one up and replace one of my other weapons.

Anyone else finding this odd issue? Is there a different button to press to pick up weapons in the DLC.

Burial at Sea adds a weapon wheel that appears when you press and hold the swap weapon button (E by default). You can carry all weapons at once.

Ah great, thank you! I'll try it out! Makes sense then that I could seem to pick up Tommy Guns, as my ammo for them would be full.

I had binded "change weapon" to scroll down. No wonder i couldn't change weapons...

It's F, not E, btw to bring up the weapon wheel.

Q for the plasmid wheel.

This is what most people with this issue are missing. If you hold the weapon swap key it brings up the weapon wheel. However, the game registers "Middle Mouse Burron" and "Scroll" as 2 seperate keys. So if you set weapon swap to "Scroll" you cant hold a "Scroll" key. Setting a secondary weapon swap to another key makes a holdable weapon swap, and thus, weapon wheel accessable.

Edit: Maybe it's just me but it may not be possible to set a secondary key for weapon swap. Or maybe my game just doesn't want to cooperate.

Edit 2: Ok, it's possible but only with certain keys. Wouldn't let me do "Scroll" as primary and "Middle Mouse" as secondary. Or any 2 mouse related keys together for that matter.

The weapons wheel isn't really explained. I figured out by chance.

Well, I just found out I played through the whole on infinite without knowing you have a weapon scroll wheel x.x

I'm right there with you. I'm about 3/4 of the way through episode 1 right now and I just found out about this from reading this post. There were plenty of fights I went into earlier with only a couple bullets in my equipped guns thinking that's all I had. Sure would have been nice if they told me about this new feature ahead of time. Especially since all I ever used in the entire main game was the scroll wheel. *throws arms up in frustration*

Yeah It is pretty stupid they don't tell you. I guess as it was a throwback to Bioshock they just assumed that people would know it would have the old feature.

I finished episode two with mostly two crossbows and only 5 ammo in total because I thought this was a design feature. Played Elizabeth like a ninja with the Peeping Tom Vigor once I got the non-Eve using enhancements.

It was exhilarating! But I am disappointed that the control features weren't made more explicit.
