    SUGGESTION: Please patch in a dedicated 'holster weapon' button

    Finally! A Far Cry game where you can put away your weapon... sort of.

    Yes, you can equip fists from the wheel so that tapping the quick switch button (triangle on the PS4) swaps between armed and unarmed, but this never sticks and before you know it the quick switch goes back to switching between primary and secondary weapons.

    All it needs is a dedicated button for putting away your weapon (I'd suggest hold triangle for the PS4).

    So no support for this, then... at all? (not including the PC gamers as they do have a dedicated button)

    And no, I'm not suggesting everyone should immediately leap on board with me, but one request which keeps popping up on the various forums since around Far Cry 3 is for the ability to holster weapons.

    Okay, so we sort of have it with the latest instalment, but having to select fists from the weapon wheel every time you want to put your gun away feels like a workaround to me. It would be so good to have 'Hold triangle' for holstering.

    It would be real nice to have that sort of feature for the consoles. Not to mention that it sure would've been nice to double tap the triangle button to switch to a sidearm (or a third weapon).

    I know. That's why I said I wasn't including PC gamers

    You can configure it so that tapping triangle on the PS4 will swap between main weapon and fists, but as soon as you get into a battle and autoswitch comes into play, you're back to tapping triangle swapping between main and secondary.

    Sorry for the bump, but in that the Ubi reps have been knocking about today, I'd like to ask if this one could be put on the list of possibles.

    Thanks in advance.
