    How many poeple think skills need a quick swap option?

    I have often thought how hunters and rogues have quick access to different skills. I'm always go into my menu to switch skills in legendary missions sometime in combat, which is super risky. So I thought it would be nice if they made it where while u hold the button to deploy ur skill u could press the d-pad to change them, or if they added a quick swap where u could assign four skills to the d-pad on both l1 and r1.

    im down for it but would be happy if they just let us change loadouts in combat. Still risky going into the menu to do that but faster than changing skills themselves.

    Depends if u want to change ur gear or just a skill, most time I change I have my turret active, like the beginning of dua I switch my drone to the buster firefly to stop the Jonny 5s from moving, then switch back to my drone. It would also come in very handy if ur out of armor kits, be able to switch to the healing hive real quick or if someone goes down, switch to ur revive hive. Really I'm surprised they haven't did this, most every active combat games i play has a quick swap that let's u assign 4 things to the d-pad and switch them while hold the button to deploy it.

    Good god yes. there have been a few times in Summit solo when I hit a bad combination of elements that I could handle on another skill set up, half the time its easier to die and go back to my previous checkpoint.

    I would use the demolisher fire fly more often if I could hot-swap to something else quickly. The skill is a one & done as after the weak points are broken it has no other use. If I could swap it for the jammer or my turret I'd be a happy camper.

    I meant the demolisher firefly, i have killed mini tanks and dogs, destroy big guys hives and backpacks and even took the armor off npcs, but it's not reliable and has a very low chance to hit them, most the time I think it gets killed because of it extremely low health, I have watch mini tanks blow them up with a gernande right before it gets to them, but in legendary its still the best way to immobilize them with out sticking ur head out. Honestly I think a quick swap would be the most useful thing in the game for all builds.

    What I want, and I can't understand why it was removed from this game when it worked just fine in TD1, is the ability to assign loadouts to the 'F' keys so you don't have to keep going into the menus to switch.

    If everyone uses a attack drone and a attack turret they are all so busy being shot at they don't even shoot at you they are totally focused on the skills and the battles over real fast. Doesn't matter if its 2 or 5.

    Lol heroic goes fast with a god roll skill build, no matter what the other group members run, but legendary does not go fast, and no matter if theres 4 turrets and 4 drones, players still get shot and gernanded and most the time u need to switch to a revive hive to get them up. so no one can say they would not benefit from a quick swap for skills, unless they dont play any legendary content or dont play at all.
