Secondary weapon on Rocket Class

[Finch?]

How come I can no longer use a M1 carbine or that lovely auto-pistol when I am the rocket class? Was it part of the DoD:S update, AKA "epic failure" or was it something that eGO did?

 

[f0x!]

I have that problem haha.. It becomes a colt or a p38

 

[Mr. Dogma]

I have that problem as well, but I notice that sometimes on the servers people are able to use the original weapons. I think it just happened when the pistol was added to every class. I'm sure they're working on it and will have it sorted out fairly soon.

I personally don't like pistol mod as it decreases the value of class that would have it normally otherwise. The inability to use the carbine and machine pistol completely destroys my will to play those classes.

 

[PiPbOy]

you guys jsut have to use the scroll wheel to get the weapon.... its a mod they added its there just cant press number 2 anymore

 

[Mr. Dogma]

Does it have to be the scroll wheel? Cause to me it seems like in that case it should have a number assigned to it as well.

 

[BlackMesaSouth]

I think he means it is in slot 3 now instead of two. Anyone notice before the update some classes didn't have a number two weapon? Like the rifle man was Rifle #1 Knife #3 and Grenade #4 so I guess the pistol addition was planned before but wasn't implemented until now.

Ya its really annoying! Especially when I"m trying to kill someone but when I press "2" the pistol comes out! And it takes me like 5-10s to use the scroll wheel to take out the weapon...(oh btw pressing "3" brings out knife)

 

[Mr. Dogma]

I just use the quick switch. Before I leave the base I mousewheel to the secondary then just quick switch in the field when I need it.

 

[BlackMesaSouth]

I see what yoy mean now. I sent a bug report in for it don't know if that will do any good but I expect a follow patch soon to clean up the edges on this update.

 

[RoosteR]

i too noticed it, cuz i like to hit the number buttons up top, cuz scrolling can be inconsistant for me (sometimes i scroll too far to the knife). but the idea of 2 secondaries is nice

 

[Hoot]

it makes it a lot simpler to use the scroll wheel.

 

[Alex SDU]

it makes it a lot simpler to use the scroll wheel.

I have to disagree with that one.
In the heat of battle, people can get really jumpy which could effect their reaction, which in this case, their ability to scroll the wheel fast or slow enough to get the weapon they want.

simply at spawn put it on your quick switch "q" and in the middle of a fight if you need to pull out your pistol ya can swith to the pistol with "2" if need be

 

[jangofett_169]

yeah, its pretty useful, have bazooka and carbine as quick switch

then when your in a close quarters and you run out of a clip with the carbine, hit 2 and get out pistol and pwn the guy tht was shooting you while hes reloading

lol

i hate this. i got a trackball, cant play with a mouse. No scrollwheel. been trying to find a solution. pretty much everyone just tells me "buy a mouse noob". Theres no way im doing that since i've had my trackball for I think 10 years now with not 1 problem. How long has a pointer device lasted you 10 years?? for 20 bucks when i bought it....

 

[Currahee]

I always liked setting up my #2 or #1 weapon to mouse button #4 or #5 (on the sides of my mouse) so in those jerky situations where im trying to dodge and strike I can pull out my pistol or shovel/knife fairly quick ... not anymore. Changing the Weapon slots in the config mess up other mesnus now, like accessing the HLX stats in game won't work properly. Maybe if I just bound those buttons in the config it'd work but I've been too lazy to try that yet.
