    Patch to get a new button for looting/weapon swaps!

    Ok, this is my first post ever, but I am completely sick of losing my weapons because I accidentally swapped one out when I was looting or talking to someone! I would love to have the ability to use another button for weapons swapping, like the circle or triangle on the PS4, and NOT to have the damn square button used for nearly everything. It's even worse that the prompt to change weapons tends to stick around in an area, even when you're not looking at the weapon. You have to shake off this prompt, or risk losing that weapon when you're trying to do something else.

    PLEASE consider giving us the option to use another button for weapons swaps, looting, ect.!

    Yeah, it would be a major Quality of Life improvement for me! I have lost track of how many times I've had to go find a store and re-swap back an important lost weapon. It can be critical if you swap into a less desirable weapon when in the middle of a serious fight too. I am seriously tired of this!

    That sounds like you have a pretty sad life you know... I think going outside and doing stuff will be a major quality of life improvement for you!!

    So, I guess you're not familiar with the common usage of the term 'Quality of Life' for improvements/patches? Yeah, thanks for the troll, you idiot.

    Yes please fix this asap. I've almost lost umy favorite weapons to adding another pistol is to the rifle/LMG/flamethrower/rpg holster. I'm trying to figure out why it's set up like that. There's been times I've tossed my good weapon for a lower qaulity noncustomized weapons. It's not fun in the middle of a firefight. Sometimes the weapons are really close to the enemies body so instead of looting you end up swapping weapons.

    Maybe a common usage of the term where you're from, never heard of it here.

    It is a little annoying, but if i accidentally pick up another weapon while looting, i simply swap back again. It has never vanished instantly, and i never take time to loot corpses while in the middle of a heated battle, anyway.
