    Guns switching by themselves

    This is the only painful problem I had in this game and still have. I finished the game but because people want the co-op trophy I get messages on ps4 from people asking for help with the trophy. I just helped someone yesterday. EVERY TIME I get in the game I have certain guns I'm using and the two guns that I switch back and forth ALWAYS CHANGE TO OTHER GUNS in my other two slots. I will have say a AR and a shotgun but I start running or moving then I try to switch from the shotgun to AR and it gives me my damn sniper rifle. I don't need the sniper. This happens every time I play. Whatever two guns I am using it switches to other guns in my weapon wheel all by itself. It's a pain and I only play now to help others get their co-op trophy but when I need a gun that I had equipped and it changes to some gun that I wasn't using it's a PAIN. I have 20 enemies on me and I need the grenade launcher that I had equipped it gives me my sniper that I hadn't even used once in that session.

    what a strange bug... I don't play online in this game so I don't know.. But like FC5 online is it where the Host can set which weapons are available? if so that might be the trouble

    I had this happen a bunch last weekend. I didn't even play co-op, this is all single player. I'm glad you said something, I thought I was going nuts.

    I was the host. Had nothing to do with it. It happens every time I play now. I'm just glad I finished the game a while back. I don't remember it happening when I was playing all the time. I;m sure if it was like this back then I would have posted about it. It's not good. Just glad I already 100% it.

    please send this to the tech support section.. I've not played in few weeks after my last 10th time.. you have me worried now we might need a new patch for something the last patched did! I know I'll be playing FC5 and ND off and on for a while as FC6 will not be out for up to 2 years from now.

    I have never noticed this on the PC. I play single player and have finished the game twice. Are you sure you haven't mistakenly swapped with weapon with a dead highwayman's one as I have done. Sometimes when you go to loot a highwayman when the message comes up you can move slightly and the message changes to pickup/change weapon without you realizing it.

    Tech asked me if I had a video of it so I just went on to make this video. I was on for 3 minutes. It does this very often. I posted this already to tech forum but I'll show you what I mean. This is single player free roam. It happens at any time for me. Single player, co-op, whatever.

    I have the grenade launcher and AR equipped. About 22 seconds into the video I get the damn sniper rifle on its own.

    Perhaps you should post this in the PS4 tech forum. Never happened to me on a PC.
